installation

 

process:

 

 

For

 

the

 

installation

 

process

 

you

 

may

 

choose

 

to

 

do

 

“full

system”

 

installation

 

or

 

“headless”

 

installation.

 

A

 

“Full

System”

 

installation

 

is

 

where

 

you

 

connect

 

to

 

the

 

KSNAS

 

box

 

a

 

computer

 

monitor

 

(not

 

included

 

in

 

the

 

purchased

 

package)

 

a

 

computer

 

keyboard

 

(not

 

included)

 

and

 

a

 

computer

 

mouse

 

(not

 

included).

 

The

 

full

 

system

 

installation

 

lets

 

you

 

work

 

directly

 

on

 

the

 

KSNAS

 

server

 

utilizing

 

its

 

user

 

friendly

 

windows

 

desktop

 

user

 

interface

 

(Not

 

a

 

Microsoft

 

Windows).

 

A

 

“Headless”

 

installation

 

does

 

not

 

require

 

monitor,

 

keyboard

 

and

 

mouse

 

connection

 

and

 

the

 

KSNAS

 

setup

 

and

 

control

 

is

 

done

 

through

 

a

 

web

browser

 

from

 

another

 

system

 

using

 

Firefox

 

Internet

 

Browser,

 

available

 

free

 

for

 

download

 

at

‐ 

http://www.mozilla.org/en

US/firefox/new/

,

 

you

 

should

 

use

 

only

 

the

 

Firefox

 

browser

 

for

 

setting

 

up

 

and

 

connecting

 

to

 

the

 

KSNAS120

 

web

 

based

 

control

 

program.

 

 

The

 

above

 

2

 

methods

 

:

 

Full

System

 

&

 

Headless

 

are

 

interchangeable

 

you

 

can

 

always

 

switch

 

between

 

them

 

or

 

do

 

both

 

at

 

the

 

same

 

time

 

meaning:

 

have

 

monitor,

 

keyboard

 

and

 

mouse

 

connected

KSNAS

 

desktop

 

and

 

at

 

the

 

same

 

time

 

connect

steps:

 

1.

 

A

 

special

 

note

 

on

 

power

a.

 

It

 

is

 

strongly

 

recommended

 

that

 

you

the

 

power

 

outlet

 

through

 

a

 

surge

 

protection

 

or

 

UPS

 

unit

 

(not

 

included)

 

it

 

will

 

reduce

 

the

 

chance

 

for

 

system

 

failure

 

due

 

to

 

power

 

issues

 

and

 

extend

 

the

 

life

 

of

 

the

 

KSNAS

 

and

 

the

 

installed

 

hard

 

drives!
