Procedure: Initializing the system by using the technician port

To initialize a new system, you must connect a personal computer to the technician port on the rear of a node canister and run the system initialization wizard.

To initialize the system, complete the following steps.

1. Ensure that the system is powered on.
2. Configure an Ethernet port on the personal computer to enable Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) configuration of its IP address and DNS settings.
3. Locate the Ethernet port that is labeled T on the rear of a node canister.
   This port is the Technician port. Connect an Ethernet cable between the port of the personal computer that is configured in step 2 and the technician port. A few moments after the connection is made, the node uses DHCP to configure IP and DNS settings of the personal computer.
4. After the Ethernet port of the personal computer is connected, open a supported browser and browse to address http://install.
   The browser automatically opens the initialization tool.
5. Follow the instructions that are presented by the initialization wizard to configure the system with a management IP address.
6. After you complete the initialization process, disconnect the cable between the personal computer and the technician port.
