Step 6. Setting the RAID IP Address

Choosing DHCP or a Static IP Address

When you setup your RAID system, you have the option of:

• Enabling DHCP and letting your DHCP server assign the IP address to

the

RAID system’s virtual management port.

• Specifying a static IP address for the RAID system’s virtual management

port.

If you choose to enable DHCP, have your Network Administrator

dedicate an IP address for the RAID system, linked to the RAID system’s

GUI.

Set up through LCD

The RAID system has a front LCD panel which supports a quick

configuration and RAID monitoring. You can use the four buttons on the

LCD panel to manipulate the LCD configuration utility.

• UP/DOWN: Use to select the numbers 0 to 9, characters “a” to “z”, or scroll

through menu items.

• Enter: Use to enter the selected character, confirm the password if no character

is selected, or select items in the menu.

• ESC: Backspace, or go back to the previous screen.

To set up the IP Address through LCD:

1. Power on the RAID system and wait for the boot up to complete.

2. Input the password using the four buttons to enter the menu. The

default password is “0000”.

3. Go to Ethernet Setup in the menu and select the Controller (CTL A or

CTL B) you want to configure.

4. Select Set DHCP and select Static IP or DHCP depending on your server

settings.

5. Input the necessary information such as IP address, net mask,

gateway, and DNS.
