This guide is intended for anyone who configures and operates a new Dell 

PowerVault 720N, 740N, or 760N filer that runs Data ONTAP 5.3 software. 

It can be used by system administrators who are familiar with operating systems that 

run on the filer’s clients, such as UNIX, Windows 9x, and Windows NT and with how 

the Network File System (NFS), Common Internet File System (CIFS), and Hypertext 

Transfer Protocol (HTTP) protocols are used for file sharing or transfers. This guide 

doesn’t cover basic system or network administration topics, such as Internet Proto-

col (IP) addressing, routing, and network topology. 

The guide provides information about configuring the filer using both the Setup
