5. Pick up the new SSD, open the drive handle fully to the left or up, and insert the
drive into the slot as far as possible. To seat the drive, close the handle flush with
the rear of the appliance so that the drive locks securely into the slot.

the top if the drive is inserted horizontally or at the right if the drive is inserted
vertically.

6. Turn on the NetScaler appliance. When the appliance starts, it no longer has the
previous working configuration. Therefore, the appliance is reachable only through
the default IP address of 192.168.100.1/16, or through the console port.
7. Log on to the default IP address by using a web browser, or connect to the serial
console by using a console cable, to perform the initial configuration.
