If a Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 node canister is inaccessible through your
administrative network, use this procedure to connect a personal computer
directly to the node canister to access the service assistant.
This procedure starts the initialization tool if the enclosure
is not part of a system because the following conditions are true:
- The node canister is in candidate state.

Otherwise, this procedure starts the service assistant.
To connect a personal computer directly to the node canister,
complete the following steps:
- Configure DHCP on the Ethernet port of the personal computer
to connect to the node canister.
If the personal computer cannot support DHCP, configure static
IPv4 address 192.168.0.2 on the port.
- Connect an Ethernet cable between the port on the personal
computer and the technician port.
The technician port is labeled T on the rear of the node canister.
- Open a supported web browser on the personal computer and
browse to this URL:

- If the initialization tool opens, complete the initialization
as described in the installation procedure.

node canister.
