Registering a DR Series System

properly register the system with Dell by completing the Customer Registration and Notification page. In addition to
registering your system, you can also sign up to be notified about appliance alerts and system software updates. The
Customer Registration and Notification page is displayed when you initially log into a Release 2.0 DR Series system using
a web interface connection, and it consists of the following text boxes and check boxes in the Settings pane:
• Contact Name
• Relay Host
• Email Address
• Notify me of DR4000 appliance alerts
NOTE: If this check box is selected, you are notified of all warning and critical severity system alerts, which

NOTE: If this check box is selected, you are notified by Dell about any new system software upgrades or
maintenance releases. For more information, see Software Upgrade Page and Options .
