3 Configuration
3.1 Install Disk Drive
The BakStor uses SATA disk drives. These are installed in the caddies provided. The BakStor
1U can use up to 4 disk drives and the BakStor 2U up to 12 disk drives.
The BakStor comes with the disks preinstalled in the caddies. Should this not be the case the
disks will need to be mounted in the caddies before they are inserted into the BakStor.
3.2 RAID Setup
The BakStor 1U and 2U products come with one or multiple RAID-5 preinstalled.
3.3 Network Setup
The BakStor 1U and 2U products come with the Ethernet 0 (connector F) preconfigured with an
IP address of 192.168.0.6.
Please ensure that this setting will not generate a network conflict on the existing LAN and that
computers on the LAN are capable of communicating with the BakStor at this address.
Failing to ensure this can lead to network problems for the LAN as well as failure to connect to
the BakStor.
3.4 Power
