1 Overview
Figure 1: S3116 Storage Server
Congratulations on your purchase of a Rackable Systems S3116-NAS server (figure 1). Ideal for primary
and secondary Network Attached Storage (NAS) applications, the S3116-NAS server provides leading
software features, high availability, high performance, and was designed for easy, rapid deployment.
This document provides a quick set of instructions to rapidly get going with a newly acquired Rackable
Systems NAS appliance.
2 Hardware Setup
Start by performing the following initial S3116 server installation tasks:
•Attach the rails to the rack and then install the server in the rack.
•Unpack and insert the drives into the server in the following order:
•Connect power to the three power supplies in the back
•Connect a keyboard and monitor to the server to monitor initial bring-up
3 NAS Software Setup
The first step in configuring the NAS Appliance for your data center environment is to boot up the server,
reconfigure the RAID if necessary, and configure the IP address:
•Connect a separate system (such as a laptop) to the right-most Ethernet port on the back of the
server. Set the IP address of your system to 10.10.0.10, netmask 255.255.255.0.
•Turn on server power (recessed button on front).
•[Optional] Unless a previous RAID configuration was agreed on, the S3116-NAS Appliance ships
with two 8-port SATA RAID arrays, configured for RAID 5 with one hot spare per array. This
maximizes usable drive capacity while maximizing availability. If you would like to change the
RAID settings, press alt-3 during the boot process to reconfigure the RAID. Rackable Systems
strongly recommends keeping at least one hot spare drive per array in RAID 5 configurations.
•Allow it to boot up. If it boots successfully, the last couple of lines in the boot up process give the
IP address you need to connect to in your laptop's web browser to configure the NAS software:
https://10.10.0.3:20001
1-4 1-0 0-4 0-0
1-5 1-1 0-5 0-1
1-6 1-2 0-6 0-2
1-7 1-3 0-7 0-3

•Log in to the Web-based NAS Management GUI as username "admin" password "hello".
•In the System/Networking tab of the Web GUI, change the networking configuration to suit your
network/IP addressing requirements. You can now attach the Ethernet connection from the NAS
system to your network.
Your Rackable Systems NAS appliance should now be on your network. It is now time to create and
export storage shares so that your hosts can start to access the storage:
•Log back into the NAS Management GUI using the new IP address (https using port 20001).
•In the System/Storage Pool tab, create storage pool “pool0” for the first 3Ware partition and
“pool1” for the second.
•In the Shares tab, create a new share, say “export0” for storage pool “pool0”. Enable NFS for
Linux/Unix clients and/or CIFS for Windows clients. Permissions are set up in the subsequent
tabs underneath the share tab. Create another new share, say “export1” for storage pool “pool1”.
You should now be able to access the shares.
•Please change the password from “hello” to a new password. Also, log in via ssh into the NAS
appliance command line interface as username “root” with password “hello” and change the root
password for the server with the command “passwd”.
•Hardware RAID management is available under the Status/RAID Information tab. This will pop up
the 3Ware RAID Card Management GUI in a new window. The administrative password defaults
to “3ware”. Please change this. You may want to reuse the same password as for the main NAS
Management GUI.
