Install Drobo Dashboard

Before setting up your DroboPro or DroboElite, you need to install
Drobo Dashboard on your computer. Drobo Dashboard is used to
format your Drobo storage device if you are connecting it to a Windows
or Mac OS X computer. Also, it will install the Microsoft iSCSI initiator on
older Windows operating systems, such as XP and Windows Server
2003, if the initiator is not already installed. After setup, you can use
Drobo Dashboard to monitor and manage your device(s) and volumes.

Dashboard is installed, it will start automatically. It will display "Waiting
