    3. On your device, open a browser window.
    4. Ensure that your device is set to IP address 192.168.93.5, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and gateway 192.168.93.217.
    5. In the address field, type https://192.168.93.100.
      Note: Ensure that you type https://. The s means that you will be using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) when you communicate with the CMM.
    6. Accept any security exceptions to continue.
    7. In the Chassis Management Module sign-in window, type the user name and password. The user name is USERID and the password is PASSW0RD.
    8. Click Log In. Create a new password. The new password is Passw0rd.
    9. Cancel out of the Initial Setup Wizard.
    10. Click System Status.
    11. Hover over each component on the System Status - Chassis tab to ensure that it is functioning properly.
      Note: If you identify a component that is in the Error state, contact your service provider.
    12. Click the Events tab and ensure that there are no errors.
  2. Verify that your Storwize V7000 storage is functioning.
    Note: Your Storwize V7000 storage is preconfigured.
    1. Connect your device to port 1 on the Storwize V7000 upper controller.
    2. Open a different browser window, and type https://192.168.93.213/service. Accept any security exceptions to continue.
