•The OneBlox Web Console is viewed through a web browser and used to configure the
Static IP address, DNS, NTP Server, bond mode, and other configuration details to meet
your network infrastructure requirements.
•While on the same network as the OneBlox, you may view the Web Console by opening
a web browser and entering the OneBlox IP Address http://<OneBloxIPaddress> or by
the host name from a Mac http://<OneBlox4xxxx.local>
•When logging into the Web Console and changing the network settings, the default user
name is ‘admin’ and default password is ‘config’. You will be prompted to change the
password when logging in.
•NOTE: If OneBlox is deployed on a network with no DHCP server, please connect a
monitor to the display port and keyboard to view the OneBlox and IPMI IP addresses.
Refer to the user guide located at https://exablox.io/useinfo for additional information.
•When the startup process is complete, the Web Console will display, “OneBlox is ready
to use”.
•The OneBlox cluster may be accessed by using the cluster name displayed on the web
console. If desired, the cluster name may be changed in OneSystem.
•When you’re ready to manage your OneBlox, please create an account at:

2Rack, Connect the Power and Network Cables
•To view the quick start guide online visit https://exablox.io/4312-QSG.
•Remove the drive carriers and the drive filler with a screwdriver. Insert a disk drive
with the circuit board facing down and SATA/SAS connections facing the open end of
the carrier. The additional necessary screws are in the Exablox accessory box.
•Ensure all drive carriers are inserted completely into OneBlox for proper airflow. If
less than 12 drives are initially installed, additional drives may be added at any time.
The disk drives do not need to have identical capacities.
3Starting Up
•To rack mount OneBlox, follow the directions provided with the rack rail hardware in
the original OneBlox packaging. Connect both power cords to the OneBlox and into
standard 120/220 VAC grounded outlet. Take note of the OneBlox host name
(OneBlox4xxxx) located on the rear for use in step 4 and later.
•For 1GbE networks, connect 10GbE and 1GbE Ethernet cables to the rear of the
OneBlox. For 10GbE networks, connect only 10GbE BASE-T or 10GbE SFP+ ports.
NOTE: By default, all ports are bonded using `Active/Backup’ and present a single IP
address. Advanced network configuration is an option, including LACP and port
groups. Refer to the user guide for more details https://exablox.io/useinfo.
•Please ensure OneBlox has internet access to OneSystem. If configuring static IP
addresses see step 3.
•NOTE: The IPMI port located on the left and may be used for lights out remote
management. You may access it by browsing to http://<IPMIIPAddress>
