Software Setup Requirements

1. TCP/IP must be installed and running with a valid IP address assigned to a server. The server can either be used as a centralized management station, a remote client using a browser to access the array, or directly attached with a RAID system using the in-band protocols.

2. Your system display must be running in 256 colors or higher mode otherwise some configuration items may not be visible.

3. Your RAID controller must either be defined as a peripheral device or logical drives mapped to host LUNs,
otherwise the manager software will not be able to locate the controller.

4. Be certain that your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements listed in the
System Requirements
section.

5. Check to be certain that the RAID disk arrays and controllers are installed properly. For the installation
procedure, see the documentation that came with the controller/subsystems.

6. Follow the directions provided in the Platform Requirements section to prepare for installation and
operation under different OS environments.
