Configuration Checklist
Before you begin configuring the Memory Array and the Memory Gateways, make sure that you
gather the following information from the network administrator. These items must be available to
complete the initial configuration.
Completing the Configuration Wizard for a New
System
This section describes initial (first time) configuration of the Memory Array. Configuration is
completed by connecting a serial console cable to the Memory Array and then using the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure the system.
1. Connect a serial cable from your computer to console port A on the back of the Memory Array.
(Port A is the right console port on the back of the chassis.)
2. Start a terminal window, and then use the following console settings:
— Bits per second: 115200
— Data bits: 8
— Parity: None
— Stop bits: 1
3. Log in to the system as “admin”. A password is not required.
