Configuring a new system

Before you begin

Note: If the initial session ends before the setup is complete, the next session will begin at the next step.

Enter and confirm a new password for the admin user name.
Click Save and Continue to continue the initial setup process.
Enter the name of the first site at the prompt.
The default is My Site. More site information can be added but is not required; however, more site information can facilitate hardware replacement.
Click + Add Additional Site to add sites.
It is possible to create, modify, and delete sites after this step, but one site will be created by default.
Note: If the Slicestor® devices are to be deployed to more than one site, create the sites even if the devices are initially staged in one location. By defining the sites and assigning Slicestor devices to those sites, data is written equally across devices and sites. It ensures that the reliability and availability benefits of using multiple locations are realized.
Click Finish to show the Manager home page.

Devices that are completed with physical configuration are shown on here, although it can take a few minutes for the Manager Web Interface to see the devices to be approved. Continue with configuration tasks here or move to set up more accounts so that other users might potentially take on some or all of these tasks.

To return to the Manager home page, click the logo in the upper left corner of the page.
