Manage the main functions of the
shared storage from this menu.
HD Initialization Wizard
The first time you use the NAS, you may have to initialize the hard disk. The wizard
provides an easy way to initialize the hard disk.
By enabling SMART,
the NAS will report
when the hard drive
is about to fail. Your
hard drive must
support this feature.
The HD Power
Management
should be enabled to prolong the life of the hard drive. When there is no activity for the
set time period, the hard drive will power down to conserve power, save wear and tear,
and prevent the unit from building up unnecessary heat. When a user wants to access
the storage, the NAS will automatically wake up.
The status will show Ready when the hard drive is initialized. Click on the
Initialize
button to begin the initialization process.
Click
OK
to the warning message
to continue the process.
Enter the workgroup name,
description and initial share
folder name. The workgroup
name should be the same
one that the computers
accessing the NAS are on. Windows 2000/XP users can use a different workgroup name
if desired. Click
Next
to continue.
