# Step 12: Configure DataStore

Learn how to configure the DataStore inside of ArcGIS Server Manager.

With the ArcGIS Server installed, it's time to configure the DataStore. The DataStore is where all of your data will be housed. This connects the Server with data from your ArcGIS Online account and registers the database on the newly installed Server.

## Steps to Configure DataStore

*  **After Logging into Server Manager, select 'Site' tab**
* **Choose 'Data Stores' to change 'Register' from 'Database' to 'Managed Database'**
