Quick Start Guide

2.

If any 

expansion

 arrays are attached:

IMPORTANT:  To enable the N2000 to discover any expansion 
arrays, turn ON all the arrays before powering ON your N2000.

a.

Turn the N2000 server 

OFF

 by pressing and holding the 

Power button for no more than one (1) second.
Wait for the server to shut down completely (all front 
panel LEDs are OFF).

b.

Turn ON any 

expansion arrays

 by pressing and holding 

the Power button for no more than one (1) second.
Wait until all the array LEDs have stopped blinking.

c.

When all the expansion arrays are up and running, turn 
the N2000 server back 

ON

.

Step 6:  Connect for the First Time

NOTE: SnapServers are configured to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found on the network, the 
SnapServer defaults to an IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx. You may not be able to see the server on your network until 
you assign an IP address using SnapServer Manager (SSM).

If you are installing your SnapServer N2000 on a network with a DHCP server, continue with 

“Connecting Using 

the Server Name.”

If your network does not have a DHCP server or name resolution services, continue with 

“Connecting Using the 

SnapServer Manager.”

Connecting Using the Server Name

This procedure requires that name resolution services (via DNS or an equivalent service) be operational.

1.

Find the 

server name

The default server name is “SNAP

nnnnnn

,” where 

nnnnnn

 is the server number. For example, the name of a 

SnapServer N2000 with a server number of 610019 is SNAP610019. The server number is a unique, numeric-only 
string that appears on a label affixed to the top of the server in the left front corner.

2.

In a Web browser, enter the 

server URL

.

For example, enter “http://SNAP

nnnnnn

” (where 

SNAPnnnnnn

 is the server name).

3.

Press 

Enter

 to open the Web View screen.

4.

Log into the 

Web Management Interface

.

In the login dialog box, enter 

admin

 as the user name and 

admin

 as the password, then click OK. 

5.

Complete the 

Initial Setup Wizard

.

Your N2000 is ready to be configured for your specific environment and needs.

Connecting Using the SnapServer Manager

SSM is an administrative application that is Java-based, 
platform-independent, and runs on all major platforms. SSM 
provides administrators a single interface from which they can 
discover any SnapServer on the network. You can download and 
install SSM from:

http://support.overlandstorage.com/support/snapserver-nas.htm

Be sure to install SSM on a computer residing on the same 
network segment as your N2000.

NOTE: If you plan to run SSM on a Macintosh client, you must 
upgrade the client to MacOS 10.2 or higher (required for JRE 1.4.0 
or higher support).
