Do not proceed beyond a
notice until you have understood the hazard and
have taken appropriate precautions.
Grounding. This product provides a protective
earthing terminal. There must be an
uninterruptible safety earth ground from the
main power source to the product’s input wiring
terminals, power cords, or supplied power cord
set. Whenever it is likely that the protection has
been impaired, disconnect the power cords until
the ground has been restored.
If your LAN covers an area served by more than
one power distribution system, be sure their
safety grounds are securely interconnected.
LAN cables may occasionally be subject to
hazardous transient voltages (such as lightning
or disturbances in the electrical utilities power
grid). Handle exposed metal components of the
network with caution.
For more safety information, see the
“Safety Statements” section starting on page D-4.
Servicing. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the user-replaceable modules comprising
the product. Any servicing, adjustment,
maintenance, or repair must be performed only
by service-trained personnel.

Once a tape drive is installed or attached to the server, use
chapter 9 to aid in ongoing backup and restore tasks.
9. Backing Up and Restoring Files
describes the tasks of
backing up your server and of restoring files to the server.
To update the firmware running on your server, use chapter 10.
10. Updating the Firmware

Product Overview
What is Network Attached Storage?
Network-attached storage (NAS) is one of the latest innovations in
the computer information storage world. It provides a simpler, more
reliable, and more cost-effective way to add shared storage to your
network. NAS requires very little setup and is easy to maintain.
This is achieved by using a streamlined technology called a thin
server, which also allows the NAS devices to be completely
independent of the general-purpose file server.

HP SureStore HD Server 4000
The HP SureStore HD Server 4000 family of products are NAS
devices that attach directly to your network and provide dedicated
personal and shared file storage for workgroups and departments.
The products contain SCSI hard disks in a preconfigured RAID 5
array network file-sharing compatibility, and an easy-to-use
embedded web administration interface. They also provide the
added convenience of local internal or external tape backup, along
with e-mail and SNMP notification of critical events.

The first time the HP SureStore HD Server 4000 is started, it
automatically prompts and waits for the IP address setting at the
control panel. Then when you access the embedded web interface
using a web browser, the server runs an installation wizard. This
chapter is a guide to the entire installation process. It details the
installation steps and directs you to additional chapters if needed
for your particular installation.

These drives can be used to expand the volume. (One of the additional
modules can be reserved as a hot spare.) Refer to chapter 7 for a list of
drive products available and the instructions for installation; then
return to this page to complete the server installation.
You may add an internal tape drive to any of the three product
numbers. (HP J3291A has a DAT40 drive already installed.) Refer to
chapter 8 for a list of tape drive products available and the
instructions for installation; then return to this page to complete
the server installation.
You may attach one external HP DAT or HP DLT drive to any
HD Server 4000. You may install both an external
tape drive. Refer to chapter 8 for a list of the tape products available
and the instructions for attachment; then return to this page to
complete the server installation.
The external tape drive attaches to the HD Server in place of
the preinstalled SCSI terminator. Ensure that a SCSI
terminator is attached to the end of the SCSI bus, usually on
the external tape drive. The terminator you remove from the
HD Server’s SCSI connector (HP part no. 5063-5324) may be
moved to the tape drive. Otherwise, you may use the SCSI
terminator block attached to the rear of the tape drive.

Optional: Rack Mounting
After you have installed any additional modules (as described in the
previous section), you can use the HP J1492B Rackmount Kit for
HP Storage System/6 to mount the server in any HP 19-inch rack.
Perform the rack mounting before attaching power or cables to the
HD Server.

When you start up the server, its behavior depends on whether
you are installing it for the first time or have already installed
it before. The first time, it will behave as described in step 5
below; proceed with this procedure. If the behavior is different,
it has probably been started before; go to “Starting Up the

method as follows. (The two displays alternate.)
Press

Press
to set
✘
IP manually
Startup cannot continue until an IP address is set. Press one of
the following keys on the control panel to select the method of
assigning IP addresses on your network:
Assign IP Address
Automatically
• Press ✔ if the server IP address will be assigned on your
network using either DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) or BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol). See
“DHCP/BOOTP server” on page 2-6 for more information.
Startup of the server will continue until the server is active
on the network. Skip to step 11 on page 2-12 to verify
normal operation.
Assign IP Manually • Press ✘ if you will assign the server an IP address manually
at the control panel. This will place you in the control
panel’s setup mode.
6. Set the IP address manually at the next prompt:
IP Address
=000.000.000.000
The first character position on the second line of the display is
flashing. You may edit the digits one by one from left to right.
When a digit is flashing, you may:
• Increment each digit’s value (change it “up”)
by pressing▲.
• Decrement each digit’s value (change it “down”)
by pressing▼.
• Accept the digit by pressing ✔. This moves to the next digit,
unless it was the last digit.
• You may go back (left) by pressing ✘ for each digit until the
needed digit is flashing. Then press ▲ or ▼ to change it.
Note that if you press ✘ when the first digit is flashing,
you will cancel the setting of the entire parameter.
When the last of the 12 digits is flashing, pressing ✔ again
accepts the address setting displayed. The scroll symbol
returns to the first line of the display.
Installation 2-9
Subnet Mask 7. Press ▼ to scroll down to the next parameter, the IP subnet mask.
The subnet mask determines what traffic should be sent to the
gateway and what traffic stays on the local segment. You will see
a default based on the class of IP address you set in step 6 above.
An example for class C is shown below:
Subnet Mask
=255.255.255.000
To change this parameter, press ✔ to select it. Then specify the
subnet mask in the same format and with the same procedure
as described for the IP address in step 6 above.
Default Gateway 8. Press ▼ to scroll to the next parameter, the default gateway
(default router) address. All traffic directed outside the local
network—according to the subnet mask (step 7 above)—is sent to
this default gateway. The default 000.000.000.000 specifies that
no default gateway is set.
Default Gateway
=000.000.000.000
To change this parameter, press ✔ to select it. Then specify the
gateway address in the same format and with the same
procedure as described for the IP address in step 6 above.
When the addresses are set up, you have configured the
minimum requirements to put the server on the network so that
you can make a remote connection and use the embedded web
interface to make further configuration changes before
providing client access.

If your server deviates from the above conditions after it has
been set up, see chapter 11, “Resolving Problems with Your
Server”.

To check and customize the server’s network and file system
configuration, you may use a web browser at another station on the
network. For further requirements and information, see “Using a
Web Browser on the Network” on page 4-1.
12. Start the browser. Refer to the server’s IP address you noted in
step 11, page 2-12. In the browser’s address field, you will include
the IP address (shown below as
<IP-address>
) in the URL of the
server:
