Service Laptop Requirements

Initializing the storage processor enclosure and the accompanying DAE2 disk enclosures requires a directly connected computer — usually a laptop model — that we refer to as a service laptop.

❑A supported web browser, as indicated in the EMC Navisphere Manager 6.X Release Notes.

❑Java 2 Runtime Environment, as indicated in the EMC Navisphere Manager 6.X Release Notes.

Download the JRE from the Sun computer website or the EMC service website (EMC personnel only). Verify that your laptop is running the correct version.

❑EMC Navisphere 6.6 or higher Management UI (Navisphere Manager).

Service providers can download the latest Management UI from the EMC service website. After you download the Management UI, save it to your desktop.
