Chapter 3: Pre-Installation
3.1 Install iSCSI Initiator software on your computer.
This is a required step. Any computer must have Initiator software installed before it can connect to an
iSCSI device such as the RTX-IR. Both freeware and commercial software utilities are available for this
purpose. Note: Initiator software is not required for additional computers that share files with the host
computer attached to the RTX. In such a scenario, the host computer acts as a server to the other
computers. Only the computer directly accessing the RTX needs Initiator software.
Windows
