Like many PowerVault 715N Users

I'm new to Dell Server and Storage products as well as the organization I work for and during my system inventory discovery I found a PowerVault 715N that appears to be fully functioning; however, no one knows it's history.  They had it recorded, in inventory, as a server.  Now I'd like to see if I can get it in production.  I have no documentation other than what I found on the FABULOUS Dell web site.  I have no software, no administrative login nor password.  I don't even know what OS is running on it right now, therefore it's not on the network.  I'd like to get it  back to the original configuration.  So how do I do that?  Any help would be very welcome.

    If you want to use it as a NAS, you should find the installation Media. Otherwise used it as a Server.

    You'll need the media it shipped with, and no its not downloadable.  You could try to load whatever OS you want but given that there's no video port...that could be tricky.

    Thanks for the link.  I have a few of the docs you supplied, but not all. I'm working on getting the media.
