Setting up Your ix4-300d Network Storage

Connecting the ix4-300d

Initial Setup

If you have purchased more than one ix4-300d, complete all steps on one device before setting up additional devices.

1.Use the included network cable to connect the ix4-300d to your network router, switch or directly to a computer.

2.Connect the included power adapter to the back of the ix4-300d and a power socket or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

3.Your ix4-300d should power on automatically.

4.From a computer on your network, open a web browser and go to http://setup.lenovoemc.com to set up your ix4-300d on your network. For best results, use a computer that is connected to the same subnet or network segment as the ix4-300d.

You can access the ix4300d Management Console directly by entering the IP address or model name of your ix4-300d in your computer’s web browser. To use the model name on a Mac, add

.local after the name in the browser (for example, ix4-300d.local).

5.OPTIONAL: if desired, install the LenovoEMC Storage Manager and Media Aggregation software.

If you install LenovoEMC Storage Manager, its icon will appear in the System Tray (Windows) or Menu Bar (Mac). The LenovoEMC Storage Manager will automatically scan your network and connect to available Shares.

If you receive a message from your operating system's firewall alerting you of network activity, be sure to unblock communications.

Mac Users: Shares on the ix4-300d will mount and appear on the Mac Desktop.

PC Users: Shares on the ix4-300d will automatically be assigned a drive letter and will be available in the Network Drives section under My Computer.

Network Settings

The Network page of your ix4-300d is where you make changes to set up network connectivity. The Network page displays your current network settings and enables those settings to be modified. On this page, you can identify your DNS servers and WINS servers and how your system's IP address is determined. Most system IP addresses and other network settings can normally be configured automatically.

Manually Configuring Your Network

If you are comfortable with network technology and want to configure the network, refer to Manually Configuring Network Settings.

Bonded NICs

If your ix4-300d has multiple network interface cards (NICs), you can bond those NICs. Refer to Bonding NICs.
