Basic Configuration Wizard

The Universal Compute Platform software provides a Basic Configuration Wizard that can help administrators configure the minimum settings necessary to deploy a fully functioning appliance on a network.

Administrators can use the wizard to quickly configure the appliances for deployment, and then after the installation is complete, continue to revise the configuration accordingly.

The wizard is automatically launched when an administrator logs on to the appliance for the first time, including after the system has been reset to the factory default settings.

Note

The wizard prompts you with a series of yes or no, multiple choice, or manual entry questions that you must answer with the desired configuration settings. The following conventions apply:

The value in the [square brackets] represents the default value that gets applied if you press Enter without making a specific selection.
Settings in the (round brackets) represent a list of options from which you must make a single selection, for example (y|n)[y] where y and n are options, and y is the default.
You must press the Enter key after each entry to input the selection.
For IP address and netmask settings where a [default] value displays, press Enter to select the default value, or enter a new value. If a [default] value doesn't display, you must enter a new value.
After you assign all settings within a group, you must accept the changes for that group before moving to the next group of settings. Otherwise, you can reject the changes for that group and reconfigure the settings.
