Planning a network configuration
You use the Rapid Startup Wi zard to configure your storage server. This wizard is d isplayed automatically
when you first start your system. Before you run the Rapid Startup Wizard, it is h elpful to gather the
network configuration information you need, including:
• User name and administrator password (the system provides you with defaults you need to change)
• E-mail addresses to set up system alerts
• SNMP settings
• Local area network (LAN) configuration settings
To help you gather this information, see "Configuring the server on the network" on page 25.
