After the connection is made, the system automatically configures the IP and DNS settings for the notebook computer, if DHCP is
available. If it is not available, the system uses the values that you provided in step
on page 9.
4. After the Ethernet port of the notebook computer is connected, open a supported browser and go to address
http://install
. The
browser is automatically directed to the initialization tool.
If you do not have DCHP, open a supported browser and go to static IP address
192.168.0.1
.
5. Follow the instructions in the initialization tool to configure the system with a name and management IP address.
Use the information that you provided in

8. On FlashSystem 5015 systems, connect the notebook computer to the network.
Ethernet port 1 remains connected to the network, as shown. Ethernet port
2 no longer acts as the technician port.
9. Optional: On FlashSystem 5015 systems, connect onboard Ethernet port 2 to the network.
After the system initializes, the technician port is automatically disabled.
Ethernet port 2 can then be connected to the Ethernet switch.
