NOTE: The 5big Storage Server is configured to receive its network IP address from a DHCP
Server. To set a static IP, attach a monitor, USB mouse, and USB keyboard directly to the 5big
Storage Server. To make the change, enter the static IP address in the Windows Storage Server
2008 network settings.
1.12. Administration
Similar to most servers, the 5big Storage Server may be administered remotely or using a monitor,
mouse, and keyboard directly attached to the system (1.6. Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor for
Troubleshooting). When attempting to manage the device remotely, use Windows Remote Desktop
Connection (Start>Programs>Accessories>Remote Desktop Connection). Enter the name of the
5big Storage Server (the default name is “5bigstorage”) or its IP address to access the system.
Remote Desktop Connection is also available for Mac OS X and Linux.
