NOTE: The Kick-Start utility Ethernet 0 matches Windows Local Area Connection, and
Ethernet 1 matches Local Area Connection 2.
• Ethernet Port 0 — This port is the built-in Ethernet port on your system closest
to the outside edge of the system. You can optionally enter the IP address
information for this port. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and the default
gateway IP address. Kick-Start ensures that you have entered all portions of an IP
address and checks for a valid IP subnet mask. (Optional field — If you do not
complete this field, the system will use DHCP to try to obtain an IP address.)
• Ethernet Port 1 — This port is the built-in Ethernet port on your system farthest
from the outside edge of the system. You can optionally enter the IP address
information for this port. Enter the IP address and subnet mask. The gateway IP
address is optional. Kick-Start ensures that you have entered all portions of an IP
address and checks for a valid IP subnet mask. (Optional field — If you do not fill
in this field, the system will use DHCP to try to obtain an IP address.)
• DNS IP Addresses — You can optionally enter one or two DNS IP addresses.
Kick-Start ensures that you have entered all portions of an IP address.
• Host/Machine Name and Domain — The host/machine name is required. It is
composed of a base host name and a DNS Domain name. Domain indicates a
DNS domain (for example, dell.com) and does not indicate a Windows domain.
The domain name is optional.
• Administrator Password — This field is required. You must enter the
administrator password twice, and it must be at least six characters long. For
security purposes, the password does not appear on the screen, but each character
of the password shows an asterisk (*) placeholder.
• User Name and Password — You can optionally enter a user login name and
password (enter the password twice). For security purposes, the password will not
be seen on the screen, but each character of the password will display as an asterisk
(*). Passwords of less than six characters will not be accepted.

6 Repeat this process to create and save another configuration if you want to configure
more than one NAS appliance. Click the + or – buttons to increment or decrement
the series number at the right of the configuration name to create an ordered set that
use the same name.
You are ready to apply the configuration to the NAS appliance either using an IP
network connection or by saving the configurations on a diskette.
