Follow the steps below:
1. After installing the Xtend SAN iSCSI initiator, you can find it in "Applications".
2. Click the "Discover Targets" tab and choose "Discover by DNS/IP" or "Discover by
iSNS" according to the network topology. In this example, we will use the IP

You can configure the connection properties of selected iSCSI target in the "Setup" tab.
Click the "Status" tab, select the target to connect to. Then click "Login" to proceed.
The first time you login to the iSCSI target, a message will remind you the disk is not
initialized. Click "Initialize…" to format the disk. You can also open "Disk Utilities" to
initialize the disk. You can now use the iSCSI target as an external drive on your Mac.
