Select the desired server and click on the Populate button. The different volumes appear in the console. Select the volume and click on the Next button.

Enter the desired path and click on Populate. Confirm the selection by clicking on Next.

Click on Next in the Mount Server window and then on Apply. Click on Finish when the operation is completed.
