Note: Even though the canisters are identical, the second canister is horizontally flipped while
placing it in the enclosure.
b. Define the IP on the laptop to 10.0.0.100 (except 10.0.0.101 and 10.0.0.102) with subnet
10.0.0.0/24, netmask 255.255.255.
c. Open a terminal window (not putty).
d. Ping 10.0.0.102. If successful, go to the next step. It may take up to five minutes for the server to
respond when starting up initially. If there are any issues, check Ethernet cable and switch, and
verify the laptop IP address. If the issue persists, see the “ESS 3000 issues” on page 61 topic.
e. Open putty and set the target address as 10.0.0.102/24 (port 22 for SSH), accept any security
prompts. You get a login window.
f. Before you log in, increase the size of the putty window and the putty text.
g. SSH login by using the following credentials:
uid: essserv1
pw:<{Enclosure serial number}B>
• Add a ‘B’ at the end of the enclosure serial number for the top canister for password. For
example, if the enclosure serial number is 01YM312 , the password for the top canister will be
01YM312B .
The essutils tool opens.
h. Select the SSR tools menu as shown in Figure 30 on page 55.
