  2. Connect the Power.

    1. Ensure the power switch is set to Off.
    2. Plug the power cord into the appliance and an AC outlet.
    3. Press the power button on the front of the appliance.
  3. Connect the power.

    1. Ensure the power switch is set to Off.
    2. Plug the power cord into the appliance and an AC outlet.

  4. Connect the appliance Management Port to a personal computer.

    You need to connect the appliance to a PC in preparation for completing the next procedure, setting the Management IP Address for the appliance.
