capacity on the same server. When adding memory to the Snap Server 650, you
must mirror the upgrade across both DIMM banks (for example, if you add an

* The Snap Server 520 and 620 have a single power supply and one power cable (1US, 1UK, 1EU).

Note: USB connectors cannot be used for administrative purposes. Snap Servers are managed via the browser­based Administration tool.

Step 2: Install the Server in a Rack

Note The Snap Server 500 Series and 600 Series models can only be mounted in a four-post, 32-inch depth,

EIA-compliant rack. A two-post telco-style rack or a rack less than 32-inches in depth will not support the server.

As shown in the Hardware Features illustration, the Snap Server ships with two slide rail assemblies consisting of
inner rails to attach to the chassis, outer rails to attach to the rack, and a packet of screws for mounting the rails
to the chassis and to the rack. The rails are not universal. They are stamped Left and Right and must be mounted
correctly (stamped designation refers to left and right as you are facing the front of the unit).

You will need a Phillips screwdriver to mount the rails and a second person to help position the Snap Server into
the rack.

Attach the Sliders to the Chassis

1 Take the left inner slider and position it on the left side toward the rear of

the chassis. The tongues on the chassis should fit through the rectangular
holes on the rail, and the release mechanism should be facing out.

2 Slide the rail forward, and continue to slide until you can feel that it’s

attached securely (see illustration).

3 Fasten with the rail attachment Phillips screw.

4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the right inner slider.

Attach the Slide Rail Assemblies to the Rack

1 Assemble the outer slide rail assemblies by fitting the longer rail piece

on top of the shorter rail piece and pulling outward until the two pieces
lock.

2 Position one of the rail assemblies in the rack (making sure you place

the right-stamped rail on the right side of the rack).

3 Align the front holes with the front

holes in the rack and screw a rail screw into the bottom hole. Note that the
rack holes are not evenly spaced. Be sure to align the rail so that the rail
holes match up with the rack holes.

4 Align the rear holes with the rear holes in the rack and screw rail screws in

the top and bottom holes.

5 Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 for the second rail.

Mount the Chassis in the Rack

1 Align the inner sliders (attached to the chassis) with the front ends of

the slide rail assemblies (attached to the rack) and slide the server
into the rack.

2 Line up the holes on the inner sliders with the holes on the rack/

outer rails, and secure the chassis with the remaining screws.

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

Note The Snap Server 650 (shown)

has dual power supplies. The Snap
Server 520 and 620 (not shown) have
a single power supply and will require
only one UPS and/or electrical outlet for
installation.

As a data integrity measure, Overland Storage strongly recommends you connect each power supply module to a
separate power source via a separate UPS. Use the provided power cords to plug the modules into the UPSs or
properly grounded electrical outlet(s).

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 a 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 LCD will
display the server’s name and IP address when the system has fully
initialized.

Note If you are connecting an expansion array, use the array’s
documentation to install and connect the array before powering on the Snap Server.

Power

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.
