SGI InfiniteStorage NEXIS 2000 Quick Start
This document guides a knowledgeable user through the basic setup of an SGI InfiniteStorage
NEXIS 2000 system. If you received your NAS system already racked and cabled you probably
will use only the information in the first three sub-sections of this guide. Professional assistance
with the setup of your new NAS solution is available through SGI Managed Services. If you
ordered such service, please contact the SGI Customer Support Center to schedule the on-site
visit. If you are performing your own setup of the SGI InfiniteStorage Appliance Manager
software, see “Software Configuration” on page 5. End-users or administrators who are
rack-mounting and cabling systems on site should review the information in “SGI InfiniteStorage
NEXIS 2000 System Hardware Setup” on page 10. Keep this document for future reference.
