Step 2: Install the Server in a Rack

The Snap Server ships with two L-shaped rack mount brackets. You can attach them in one of two ways: (1) to the front of the server for mounting to the front posts of a four-post rack; or, (2) to the middle or front of the server for mounting to both posts of a Telco rack.

Caution The following procedure applies to standard EIA racks; other racks may not be able to support the server using only the front posts. If you are using a non-EIA rack, Overland Storage recommends that you secure the server using slide rails, available from Overland Storage or a Snap Server reseller.

1 Make sure you have the following items necessary for rack installation:

• Two (left and right) front rack mounting brackets

• Six rack ear screws to attach the brackets to the server

• Four rack mounting screws to

attach the brackets to the rack posts

• One Phillips screwdriver

2 If mounting the L-shaped brackets

to the front of the server (as shown in the illustration), use the six screws provided. (If mounting to the middle of the server (not shown) for installation into a Telco rack, only four screws are used.)

3 Insert the server into the rack and

attach the server to the posts using the remaining four screws. You may need a second person to support the server while tightening the mounting screws.

Note For slide rail installation instructions, see the documentation on the CD that comes with the slide rail installation hardware kit.

Step 3: Connect Power and Network Cables

The server has Dual-Gigabit Ethernet ports that can connect to 10BaseT, 100BaseTx, or 1000BaseT networks. A dual-port conﬁguration offers added advantages, such as load balancing and failover. You may connect one or both of the ports.

If you connect only one port, you must use the primary port on the back of the server, as shown in the •

Hardware Features illustration.

To take advantage of network bonding (load balancing or failover), both ports must be physically connected •

to the network; and (a) for load balancing, connected to the same switch on the same subnet; or (b) for failover, connected to different switches on the same subnet (in case one switch fails).

Caution The speed/duplex setting on Snap Servers defaults to autonegotiate. The networking switch or hub to which the server is connected must also be conﬁgured to autonegotiate; otherwise, network throughput or connectivity to the server may be seriously impacted.

Cabling the Server to the Network

Use the provided Ethernet cables to connect the server to the network. When you connect the network cables to active ports, the network lights on the bezel (LAN 1 and LAN 2) are green.

Connecting the Power Cord

As a data integrity measure, Overland Storage strongly recommends you connect the server to a UPS. Use the provided power cord to plug the module into the UPS or properly grounded electrical outlet.

Note Snap Servers are designed to work with APC-brand, USB- or network-based UPS devices to automatically shut down cleanly in the event of an extended power failure. You must conﬁgure the APC unit both in the Snap Server’s Administration Tool and in the APC user interface.

Step 4: Power on the Snap Server

To turn on the server, press the power button on the front of the server. The server takes a few minutes to initialize.

The status LED will blink once per second when the server is powered on.

Step 5: Connect to the Snap Server for the First Time

Snap Servers are preset to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found on the network, the Snap Server defaults to an IP address of 10.10.10.10, and you may not be able to see the server on your network. You can discover a Snap Server using either the default server name or the Snap Server Manager (SSM) utility. Use the server name method if you are installing a Snap Server on a network with a DHCP server. Use SSM if your network does not have a DHCP server or if your network does not have name resolution services.

To Connect to a Snap Server Using the Server Name

This procedure requires that name resolution services (via WINS or an equivalent service) be operational.

1 Find the server name. The default server name is SNAPnnnnnn, where nnnnnn is the server number.

For example, the name of a Snap Server with a server number of 610019 is SNAP610019. The server number

is a unique, numerics-only string that appears on a label afﬁxed to the top of the server in the left front corner.

2 In a Web browser, enter the following URL:

http://SNAPnnnnnn (where SNAPnnnnnn is the server name)

3 Press Enter. The Web View screen opens.

4 Log into the Administration Tool and complete the Initial Setup Wizard.

Click the Administration link. In the login dialog box, enter admin as the user name and admin as the

password, then click OK. Complete the setup procedure using the Initial Setup Wizard.

To Connect to a Snap Server Using Snap Server Manager

Snap Server Manager (SSM) is a Java-based, multiserver administrative application that runs on all major client platforms. Use SSM to discover, conﬁgure, and monitor all local and remote GuardianOS Snap Servers. You can download and install SSM using the Install_SnapServerTools.html ﬁle on your Snap Server User CD. Be sure to install SSM on a computer residing on the same network segment as your Snap Server(s).

1 Launch SSM.

SSM discovers all Snap Servers on its local network segment and displays their server names, IP addresses,

and other status information in the main console. If you do not have a DHCP server, there might be a delay before the server appears on the network.

Note: To distinguish multiple Snap Servers, you may

need to ﬁnd their default server names as explained in the previous procedure.

2 If using a DHCP server, proceed to Step 3.

Otherwise, assign an IP address to the server.

In SSM, right-click the server name and select Set

IP Address. Enter an IP address and a subnet mask, then click OK.

3 Launch a server’s Administration Tool.

In SSM, right-click a server name and select Launch

Web Administration, as shown in the illustration.

4 Log into the Administration Tool and complete the Initial Setup Wizard.

Click the administration link. In the login dialog box, enter admin as the user name and admin as the

password, then click OK. Complete the setup procedure using the Initial Setup Wizard.
