System Set Up
In NDAS mode, the miniStack NAS is directly attached to a
100MB/s full duplex Ethernet switch. Each user on the net-
work can use the NDAS disk as if it were a local drive.
In USB 2.0 High Speed mode, the miniStack NAS is directly
attached to a single computer using the USB port.
A few tips on how to connect your miniStack NAS:
Make sure all computers sharing the disk are using the
t
same driver revision.
Do not cover the Enclosure and leave enough room
t
around it for ventilation.
Do not expose your miniStack NAS to water or humid
t
conditions.
Always check for visible damage and defects of power
t
and interface cables before using it.
We recommend using the supplied cables.
