Setting Up the C200
In order to install the CTERA gateway, you need at least one hard drive (SATA, 3.5"). You cannot include a hard drive in an array if it does not support SCT Error Recovery Control in the array.
To set up the CTERA C200:
1 Open the C200's back cover, by pressing the two plastic tabs and then pulling backwards.
Two slots are revealed.
2 Insert the SATA hard drive into a vacant slot, pressing it firmly until it is all the way in.
If you install the drive in left-hand slot, the drive's metal cover should be facing left.
If you install the drive in the right-hand slot, the drive's metal cover should be facing right.
3 Close the C200's back cover, by inserting first the bottom of the cover, pressing the tabs, and then pushing forwards.
The cover should click into place.
4 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port, and connect the other end to your Ethernet LAN switch or router.
5 Connect the provided power supply cable to the power jack, and connect the power supply to the wall outlet.
6 Press the Power button at the back of the C200.
The C200 will start up, and the Ready/Status LED will flash rapidly in orange and then green. When the LED turns steady green, the C200 is ready.
The C200 automatically obtains an IP address using DHCP.
Note: If a DHCP server is not available, then after one minute, the C200 will use the IP address 192.168.192.5.
Warning: If you need to unplug the C200, you must first shut it down as described in the CTERA Edge Filer Administration Guide.
