You have to do it via this method because there is no facilities available on the LX195 for you to plug in a mouse, monitor and keyboard.Īgain, I won’t bother with going through each and every step, although again I have included the screenshots, but the one interesting thing to point out though which is a change from HP’s other models is that the server name is already entered as HPSERVERLX instead of the usual HPSERVER.

So once you have go to this stage, then its time to configure the Windows Home Server itself. I won’t walk through all those steps again in this article, but I have included the screenshots for those of you who might be interested.

This performs two functions, the first of which is install the Windows Home Server Connector software on your computer but also to enable you to configure your new Windows Home Server, with details such as the server name and admin password (but more on that in a moment).Īfter you pop the Software Installation CD in the drive, you then follow the usual steps to install the Windows Home Server Connector software. The first thing that needs to be done after you have connected up the LX195 to both the power and your home network, and switched it on, is to install the Client software on one of your computers.
#HP MEDIASMART SERVER EX470 UPDATE 2016 MANUAL#
There is not manual as such with the LX195, but when you run the installation CD you are given some online instructions, and you also have the now familiar HP MediaSmart Server Setup Poster to help guide you through what needs to be done. Plugging it in all shouldn’t take more than a few moments, now it’s time to switch it on and get it working. The contents of the box include the LX195 itself, the power cable and power supply (a change to the previous models), an Ethernet cable, some software CDs, a warranty book and the setup poster. The box itself is quite small with everything coming very well packaged inside. So, the first thing you will want to do is get yourself a decent external hard drive if you want your shared files protected. Those of you reading this who know Windows Home Server will immediately realise that with just a single drive you cannot have Folder Duplication enabled. However there are 4 USB 2.0 ports on the back of the LX195 which you can use to connect external hard drives to (make sure that the minimum size drive you connect is 100 GB though as anything less is not supported). And yes, there is only room for a single built-in hard drive in the chassis, which is a definite departure from the EX series. So HP have decided for this smaller variant to go with the Intel Atom processor. The actual specification of the LX195 is as follows: PROCESSOR Below is a picture of the 3 different HP MediaSmart Servers – from left to right, the EX475, the EX487 and now the LX195.

This is partly because it only contains a single hard drive, and doesn’t have the capability to add additional internal hard drives, but also because there is an external power supply, compared to the built-in power supply on the EX series.Īlso, you will notice that is doesn’t have the sleek shiny black surface that the EX series had, but instead it has a series of ridges which help with the cooling, and the box itself is a dark gray. For a start, you will notice that it is visibly smaller. The specification of the LX195 is a little different to that of any of the EX series. HP today announced the impending release of their next HP MediaSmart Server, and yes, it’s called the LX195, which is a departure from the EX series that are currently available. There have been rumours floating around for the last few weeks about a new HP MediaSmart Server, known as the LX195.
