Setting Up the DR Series System

Before you can interact with the DR Series system using one of its two supported methods: the web-based DR Series
system graphical user interface (GUI) using a web browser or the command line interface (CLI) and a terminal emulator
application (for example, PuTTY), you must first ensure that it is properly set up. For more information about properly
setting up the DR Series system, see the following links. For more information on the DR Series system CLI commands,

Interacting With the DR Series System
You interact with the DR Series system using its web-based graphical user interface (GUI) through a browser-based
connection. The DR Series system GUI provides a single, comprehensive data management interface that lets you
create new data containers, modify or delete existing containers, and perform a number of data-related operations
using its features and settings.
NOTA: A second method for interacting with the DR Series system is by using its command-line interface (CLI) via a
terminal emulator application (for example, PuTYY).
You can create and manage containers that are the repositories where you store your backup and deduplicated data. A
data container is a shared file system that is imported using a client, and is accessible via NFS or CIFS filesystem
protocols.
The DR Series system provides real-time summary tables, detail tables, and graphs that let you monitor the status of the
data capacity, storage savings, and the throughput of the containers you are managing using its set of GUI features.
Networking Preparations for the DR Series System
Before you can start using the DR Series system, ensure that you have satisfied the following networking prerequisites:
• Network: An active network is available using Ethernet cables and connections.
NOTA: If your DR Series system is equipped with a 1-GbE NIC, Dell recommends using CAT6 (or CAT6a)
copper cabling. If your DR Series system is equipped with a 10-GbE NIC, Dell recommends using CAT6a
copper cabling.
NOTA: If your DR Series system is equipped with a 10-GbE enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+)
NIC, you must use Dell-supported SFP+ LC fiber-optic transceivers or twin-axial cabling.
• IP Addresses: You need to make sure to have IP addresses that you use for the DR Series system. The DR Series
system ships with a default IP address and subnet mask address, which should only be used for an initial system
configuration.
NOTA: You need to have an IP address available to replace the default IP address if you choose the static
mode of IP addressing, or select to use the DHCP mode of IP addressing.
