Before You Begin
This chapter describes the preinitialization and configuration tasks required for the
StorageWorks NAS B2000.
Preinitialization
Before beginning the installation process, verify that the hardware installation is
complete. Verify that the NAS B2000 is completely installed in the rack and that all
cables and cords are connected. The setup utility documented here and in the next
section only provide basic setup for the network components of the NAS B2000.
IMPORTANT: If you need assistance with rack installation or hardware connections, refer to
the quick reference and rack installation guide included in the shipping carton.
