3. Connect power cords, and then turn the server on. The power switch is located on the front panel.
4. Install the Miranda faceplate onto the front of the Application Server by sliding it onto the guide blocks
on the side handles, and then pushing it in until it clicks into place.
Configuring the Application Server
Before you can begin operations, you must configure the Application Server and make it available on your
local network. Specifically, you may have to:
• connect to the Application Server from a client PC or laptop
• ensure that the client PC or laptop has the correct version of the Java Runtime Environment installed
• log on to the Application Server’s Webmin utility
• configure the Application Server’s Ethernet interface settings
• configure the Application Server’s Domain Name Service settings
• configure the Application Server’s host name and IP address
• apply your changes and perform a readiness check
Connecting to the Application Server
To connect to the Application Server:
1. Set the IP address of your client PC or laptop to 10.0.3.10 with subnet 255.255.0.0 (see “Configuring
a Client PC or Laptop” on page 18).
2. Open a browser window on the client PC or laptop.
Note: The Application Server is shipped with its eth0 port configured to a standard setting. As
you perform the configuration procedures in this manual, you will reconfigure the port to
integrate the Application Server into your network. During the initial configuration process
described in this document, you may find it more convenient, or even necessary, to connect your
client workstation directly to the eth0 port using a crossover cable (not supplied).
Note: Hardware documentation for the PowerEdge 850, 860 and R200 is available from the
