In most cases, there will be only one NIC, and you can simply select “Next”.

This screen displays only the NICs on this system that are supported by DiskSafe Express. If no NICs appear on this screen, you might need to install an appropriate network driver. Select Load Driver, select the location from which you want to install the driver (Load From System for the local hard disk, Load From Floppy for a floppy disk drive, or Load From CDROM for a CD-ROM drive), insert the disk in the drive (if loading from a floppy disk or CDROM), and respond to the prompts. For information about obtaining the appropriate driver, contact your vendor.

To see a complete list of the detected hardware, select Rescan. When you are done viewing the list, select “OK”.

4.Review the settings for your NIC and select “Next”.

The recovery CD obtains the IP address to use from your DHCP server. If the displayed settings are not the ones you want to use, or if no IP address is displayed, select Config and specify the desired IP address or subnet mask. (If you make a mistake typing either the IP address or subnet mask, select “Disable” to clear the displayed information.) Then select “OK” and select “Next”.

5.n the Client Name field, enter the full computer name of this computer. This name is always uppercase characters.

If you don’t remember the full computer name, access the Manager and click “Backups” in the navigation bar. In the Protected disks list, the Computer Name column lists the computer name of each computer that has backed up disks to the storage system.

6.If your computer is a member of a Windows domain, enter the domain name in the Domain Name field. (If your computer is not a member of a Windows domain, leave this field blank.)

Initially, the recovery CD will attempt to connect to the storage system using only the computer name. If this fails, the domain name will be appended as well. This ensures that your computer can be properly authenticated.

7.In the Recovery Server field, enter the name or IP address of the storage system where the backups reside.

8.Make sure the selected authentication type is CHAP. DiskSafe Express supports only CHAP authentication.

9.In the Recovery Password field, enter the recovery CD password that you specified when you protected the disk or when you last changed the password.
