In preparation for the initial configuration of your appliance, do the following tasks:
Obtain your license activation code: For product licensing, you must have a license activation code, emailed to the named contact of a PlateSpin Purchase Order. To view your activation code, log in to the Customer Center Web site, using the same email address specified in your purchase order.
Fill in the configuration worksheet: This guide includes a copy of the PlateSpin Forge 11.0 Configuration Worksheet. Use the worksheet to record the configuration of your current environment.
Set up the hardware: Unpack the PlateSpin Forge appliance and use the Components List in the box to ensure that all components are included. If there is anything missing, contact your PlateSpin representative. Use the contents of this guide to help you mount and connect the hardware.
