To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions.

*HQHUDO 3UHFDXWLRQV

Observe the following general precautions for using and working with your system:

Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Dell product except as explained in your Dell system documentation. Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt may expose you to electrical shock. Components inside these compartments should be serviced only by a Dell authorized service technician.

If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace the part or contact your Dell authorized service provider:

The power cable, extension cord, or plug is damaged.

An object has fallen into the product.

The product has been exposed to water.

vi

The product has been dropped or damaged.

The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions.

Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.

Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet environment. If the computer gets wet, see the appropriate chapter in your troubleshooting guide or contact a Dell-authorized service provider.

Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

Use the product only with Dell products or other Dell-approved equipment.

Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.

Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your Dell service provider or local power company.

To help avoid damaging your system components, be sure the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at your location:

115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan

100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan

230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East

Also be sure that your monitor and attached peripherals are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.

Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your computer or storage system or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.

To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cord, use a three-wire cord with properly grounded plugs.

Observe extension cord and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cord or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the extension cord or power strip ampere ratings limit.

vii

Do not use appliance/voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your Dell product.

To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your system components’ cables or power cord.

Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring rules.

To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning off the system before removing a component from the system board or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.

Handle batteries carefully. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, dispose of in fire or water, or expose batteries to temperatures higher than 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). Do not attempt to open or service batteries; replace batteries only with batteries designated for the product.

Turn down the volume before using headphones or other audio devices.

3UHFDXWLRQV IRU 6HUYHU DQG 6WRUDJH 6\VWHPV

Observe the following additional safety guidelines for your system:

Unless your installation and/or troubleshooting documentation specifically allows it, do not remove enclosure covers, attempt to override the safety interlocks, or access any components inside the system. Depending on your system, installation and repairs may be done only by individuals who are qualified to service your computer or storage system equipment and trained to deal with products capable of producing hazardous energy levels.

When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if offered with your Dell product, observe the following guidelines:

Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.

Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.

If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.

Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly connected to the computer or storage system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.

NOTE: Dell’s server and storage systems are certified as components for use in Dell’s rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The final installation of Dell systems and rack kits in any other brand of rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the final combination of Dell systems and rack kits for use in other brands of rack cabinets evaluated for suitability by a certified safety agency.

System rack kits are intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained service technicians. If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the specifications of a Dell rack.

Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack, Dell recommends a minimum of two people to accomplish this task.

Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secure to the rack, extend to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.

Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.

Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.

Extend only one component at a time from the rack.

Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the component into the rack.

Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.

Do not step on or stand on any system/component when servicing other systems/components in a rack.

1.Turn off your computer and any peripherals.

2.Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before touching anything inside your computer.

While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.

x

3.Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also, disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.

Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

Handle components and cards with care. Don’t touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.

As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

The following notice may appear throughout this document to remind you of these precautions:

For comfort and efficiency, observe the following ergonomic guidelines when you set up and use your computer system:

Position your system so that the monitor and keyboard are directly in front of you as you work. Special shelves are available (from Dell and other sources) to help you correctly position your keyboard.

Set the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance (usually 510 to 610 millimeters [20 to 24 inches] from your eyes).

Make sure that the monitor screen is at eye level or slightly lower when you sit in front of the monitor.

Adjust the tilt of the monitor, its contrast and brightness settings, and the lighting around you (such as overhead lights, desk lamps, and the curtains or blinds on nearby windows) to minimize reflections and glare on the monitor screen.

Use a chair that provides good lower back support.

Keep your forearms horizontal with your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position while you use the keyboard or mouse.

Always leave space to rest your hands while you use the keyboard or mouse.

Let your upper arms hang naturally at your sides.

Sit erect, with your feet resting on the floor and your thighs level.

When sitting, make sure the weight of your legs is on your feet and not on the front of your chair seat. Adjust your chair’s height or use a footrest, if necessary, to maintain proper posture.

Vary your work activities. Try to organize your work so that you do not have to type for extended periods of time. When you stop typing, try to do things that use both hands.

The Setup Wizard provides an easy to use Web-based method of configuring the basic settings for a new filer.

The configuration method using the setup command is different from the Setup Wizard configuration method in these ways:

Uses command-line installation and configuration commands to install and configure the new filer

Provides limited on-line help

The Setup Wizard uses the network and a Web browser to perform the initial basic setup for filers, eliminating the need for the command-line setup. The Setup Wizard contains context-sensitive help for each field on each page.

After you finish the basic configuration, you can use the Web-based FilerView™ tool to complete other types of configurations you might need on this filer. FilerView also uses the network and a Web browser to perform general management tasks.

3UHUHTXLVLWHV WR 8VLQJ WKH 6HWXS :L]DUG

The Setup Wizard needs an IP address to begin the configuration process, which you can obtain using either of the following methods:

An existing Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your network during initial boot of the new filer.

If the filer can’t find or obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, the normal setup script, using a console connected to the filer, prompts you for several pieces of information, including an IP address, and then asks whether you want to use the Setup Wizard. This method works with any filer; however, you must have a console connected to the filer for the initial few pieces of setup information.

Setup Wizard — Introduction 2-1

5HVWULFWLRQ RQ 8VLQJ 6HWXS :L]DUG

If you don’t want to switch from the console to the Web-based wizard to do the configuration (when you are not using a DHCP server), you should use the setup command configuration that is discussed in Chapter 4, “setup Command — Introduction.”

$ERXW %DVLF &RQILJXUDWLRQ 8VLQJ 6HWXS :L]DUG

The Setup Wizard uses multiple Web pages with a limited number of questions per page to set up the filer. On-line context-sensitive help is available for each field that you need to respond to. The Setup Wizard covers protocol licensing, based on what you purchased; administration setup; DNS, NIS, and Windows NT setup; and routing and email gateway setup.

There are several steps to performing the basic configuration of a new filer:

Providing the filer with an IP address

Using the Setup Wizard to do the configuration

Verifying the configuration of the filer

+RZ WR 3URYLGH DQ ,3 $GGUHVV

There are two methods to providing the filer with an IP address:

8VLQJ '+&3 WR 2EWDLQ WKH ,3 $GGUHVV IRU WKH 1HZ )LOHU

To use the DHCP server to obtain an IP address for the filer, you need to ensure that the following DHCP configuration exists:

You need the MAC address from the filer’s e0 interface before you turn on and configure your filer. You need to manually allocate a static IP address on the DHCP server.

The e0 MAC address is printed on a label on the back of the filer’s PCB carrier, in the upper left-hand corner.

Use the e0 MAC address to manually allocate a static IP address on the DHCP server for your filer; or provide your DHCP administrator with the information to perform this task. The DHCP server uses the e0 MAC address to identify the filer when it boots.

To avoid IP address conflicts, use a static IP address on your DHCP server. If you use a dynamic IP address, the filer does not release that address when its lease expires. The lease is a predetermined expiration time set on the DHCP server.

If you are using DHCP to obtain the IP address for the filer, see "Using Setup Wizard on a Filer With a DHCP Server."

Setup Wizard — Basic Configuration of the Filer3-1

(QWHULQJ D 6WDWLF ,3 $GGUHVV IRU WKH 1HZ )LOHU

If you are not using DHCP to obtain the IP address for the filer, see "Using Setup Wizard on a New Filer Without a DHCP Server."

+RZ WR 8VH WKH 6HWXS :L]DUG

After you have the IP address for the new filer, you can point your browser to the URL address on the filer to start the Setup Wizard. You follow the pages of prompts to complete the configuration. Each prompt field has its own context-sensitive help screen if you need more information than the prompt gives.

The last page of the wizard displays all the configuration settings you provided and enables you to make any changes you might want to make. You can click the field you want to change; the wizard takes you to that specific page.

After you finish making any changes necessary, you click Finish and the Setup Wizard configures the filer. After the Setup Wizard finishes, the filer is ready for use.

+RZ WR 9HULI\ WKH &RQILJXUDWLRQ

You can verify that the configuration is successful by using ping to see that all network interfaces are up and working.

This procedure configures a PowerVault 720N, 740N, or a 760N filer using the Setup Wizard. After you complete this procedure, the filer is running the protocols for which you purchased licenses, and is configured and ready for use.

3UHUHTXLVLWHV

You need the following requirements completed before you begin the procedure:

A static IP address on your DHCP server set up before you begin the filer configuration

The new filer attached to the network

A client browser on the same network as the filer’s e0 network
