Setting up WD Sentinel Server & Connecting Computers

This chapter assumes you have followed the Administrator's Basic Install Guide to initialize

the setup steps see “Connecting the Server and Getting Started” on page 13 of this manual.

Accessing the Dashboard

To access the Dashboard from the Server:

Important: As a best practice, perform the tasks outlined in this guide using a client

computer on which you’ve installed the connector software, not directly from
the WD Sentinel server.
