Installing the CTERA C800

To install the CTERA C800

1. Install at least one hard drive in the appliance.

   See Installing a SATA Hard Drive in the CTERA C800.

2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a Gigabit Ethernet port, and connect the other end to your Ethernet LAN switch or hub.
3. Connect a provided power supply cable to the AC power input socket of Power Supply 1, and connect the other end to the wall outlet.
4. Connect a provided power supply cable to the AC power input socket of Power Supply 2, and connect the other end to the wall outlet.

   	Tip
   	The C800 should normally be used with two power cords . If both power supplies are installed but one is not connected to power, the unit assumes there is a power supply problem, and starts beeping until you dismiss the warning by pressing the Mute Alarm button on the rear panel.

5. Turn the power switch on the front of the appliance to the ON position.

   The appliance will start up, and the Power LED will turn green.

   The appliance automatically obtains an IP address using DHCP.

   	Tip
   	If a DHCP server is not available, then after one minute, the appliance will use the IP address 192.168.192.5.
   	Warning
   	If you need to unplug the appliance, you must first shut it down as described in Shutting Down the CTERA Appliance. Failure to do so could result in data loss.
