This topic introduces the concept that before you can run any DR Series system operations, you first need to understand the following key tasks:

•
How to initialize the system
•
How to shut down or reboot the system
•
How to manage the system password

Initializing the DR Series system requires that you configure and manage a number of very important system settings.

 
NOTE: Dell recommends that you use the Initial System Configuration Wizard to configure your DR Series system. Changing some of the system settings using the DR Series system GUI (such as bonding, MTU, hostname, IP address, and DNS) can cause issues that may affect your DR Series system GUI access.

For more information about initializing the system, see Initializing the DR Series System.

For more information about shutting down or rebooting the system, see Shutting Down the DR Series System and Rebooting the DR Series System.

For more information about managing the system password, see Managing the DR Series System Password.
