# Adding a remote system

Note: This action is not supported when using:

- ServeRAID Manager in bootable-CD mode
- ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application

Use this action to connect to a remote system or management station and add it to the Enterprise view.

Tip: Before adding a remote system, verify that the system is running the required software. To add a remote system with direct-attached storage, the ServeRAID Manager must be running on that system. To add a management station with a network-attached storage enclosure, the ServeRAID Manager management station software must be running on that system.

1. From the Remote menu, select Remote Add or click (Add) on the toolbar. The "Add managed system" window opens.
2. From the Type drop-down list, select:
   - Managed System, to add a remote system with direct-attached storage
   - Management Station, to add a remote management station with a network-attached storage enclosure
3. Type the remote host name or TCP/IP address.
4. (Managed system only) Type the remote system startup port number. The default port number is 34571.
5. Type your user name and password.
   Note: The password is case sensitive.
6. If you want to save the user name and password, select the Save user name/Password box. Once you successfully connect to the remote system, the ServeRAID Manager stores this information in a file along with the host name so you do not have to type your user name and password every time you run the ServeRAID Manager.
7. Click Connect.
