to the iLO port, and power cable.
Access the storage system
Use either the direct connect or remote management method to connect
to the storage system.
IMPORTANT:
Only the direct attach and remote management access methods
can be used to install the storage system. After the storage system
installation process is complete and the system's IP address has
been assigned, you can then additionall y use the remote browser
and remote desktop methods to access the storage system.
• Direct attach — Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly to
the storage system. This access method is mandatory if your network
does not have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
• Remo t e management — Access the s t o rage sy s t em using the Integrated
Lights-Out remote management method:
1. Ensure that a network cable is connected to the iLO port located
on the back of the storage system.
2. Locate the iLO Network Settings tag attached to the storage
system and record the default user name, password, and DNS
name.
3. From a remote computer, open a standard Web browser and
enter the iLO management hostname of the storage system.
NOTE:
By default, iLO obtains the management IP address
and subnet mask from your network’s DHCP server.
The hostname found on the iLO tag is automatically
registered with your network’s DNS server.
4. Using the default user information provided on the iLO Network
Settings tag, log on to the storage system.
For detailed instructions on using each of these access methods, see the
HP StorageWorks X1000 G2 Network Storage System User Guide,HP
Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide, or HP ProLiant Integrated Lights-Out
3 User Guide.

System installation screen. The storage system installation process
takes approximately 10–15 minutes.

Your storage system comes pre-installed with the
Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 operating
system. There is no operating system installation
required.
When the storage system installation process nears completion, the
