Equipment Required for Installation
To connect, install and administer your DataSafe NAS, you will need an available 10/100 Ethernet
network hub or switch. It will be necessary for your workstation to have the following capabilities:
• Windows 95/98/Me/NT (SP5)/2000
• Internet Explorer v4.01 SP1 or newer - support for Netscape is not currently available.
• Client for Microsoft Networks enabled over TCP/IP.
• Network Interface Card (NIC)
• CD-ROM Drive
Site Planning
When planning a site to house your DataSafe NAS, you will want to consider requirements for power
and network availability, as well as a space with well regulated temperature and humidity that is
relatively free of dust and other air-born contaminants. If your installation calls for placement on a
table top, apply the enclosed rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis.
The following tables are designed to help you plan your DataSafe NAS installation.
CAUTION:
When placing your DataSafe NAS in rack mount mode, make sure you
maintain proper mechanical load leveling to avoid a hazardous condition.
