After you turn the power ON, the System performs a self-
test process, which takes a few minutes.
You must leave the appliance ON while completing any
configuration processes for your application and backup
media servers.
1. At the host computer, launch the Windows SAN
Manager by selecting Windows Start > All Programs
> SnapServer SAN > SnapServer SAN Manager.
Automatically, Windows SAN Manager attempts to
discover any new SAN S2000 appliances connected to
the subnetwork and tries to connect to them.
2. If successful, Windows SAN Manager then opens the
SAN Appliance Setup Wizard to guide you through
the following setup process:
a. At the Before You Begin page, click Next.
b. At the Licensing Agreement page, read the
terms, click the check box to indicate you accept the
terms, and then click Next.
c. At the Identity page, enter a new name if you want
to rename the appliance, and click Next.
NOTE:
We highly recommend changing the name to help
identify the appliance on the network. The name must
start with a letter; subsequent characters may be letters,
numbers or hyphens. Try to keep the name short.
d. At the Password page, you must enter a password
for the appliance, confirm it, and click Next.
IMPORTANT: Overland recommends using a
password of at least six alphanumeric characters.
e. At the Pool Creation page, select the type of policy
you want, and click Next. See the user guide for
complete details.
NOTE:
Select the Don’t Create Pool option if you want to
create multiple pools or to create a pool using only
selected disks in the enclosure. Later, use Windows SAN
Manager to create the desired pools.
f. At the Summary page, click Close to accept your
settings.
When the wizard finishes, the Windows SAN Manager
Home screen is displayed.
Configuration Information
At this point, your SAN S2000 is ready to be configured
for your specific environment and needs. The Windows
SAN Manager software provides easy access to the

appliance, even from a non-Windows system.
Launching the SAN Web Manager
1. From a Web browser, enter the applicable IP address
to access the SAN S2000.
2. Use the following default login (case-sensitive):
User Name: admin
Password: password (or new assigned password)
The Web GUI appears.
3. Continue with the configuration process.

The latest release of the SAN S2000 software can be
obtained from the Overland Storage FTP site:
1. Point your browser to
ftp://ftp.overlandstorage.com/Software/Snap.
