Setup Overview Checklist
¨
1. Location –
Excessive heat is the #1 cause of disk failure. Place the NAS in a cool, secure
location with plenty of breathing space and nothing blocking the vents. See pg. 7. Plug in
the network cable, power cords, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
¨
2. Run Setup –
Start the NAS and run the setup wizard. After entering the activation key
code, to set the IP address, note that “Normal” installation assumes that you have a DHCP
server on your network to assign the NAS IP. If not, you can use the “Custom Settings”
process to assign a static IP. The wizard process ends with a reboot.
¨
3. IP in Browser and Logon –
In the address line of internet Explorer, enter the IP address
plus :8098. Example:
https://192.168.0.6:8098
. If a security message appears, click
Yes
to
open the login dialog. Use the name and password you entered while running setup. See
pg. 9 for details.
¨
4. Create Share(s) –
The Shares menu allows you to set up volumes or folders for shared
access via selected sharing protocols, such as Windows (SMB), UNIX/Linux (NFS),
AppleTalk, and WEB (HTTP).
¨
5. Enable User Access -
The Windows Sharing dialog allows you to set user permissions,
caching options, and limit the number of users who can access the share simultaneously.
¨
6. Setup an E-mail Account –
To
have status messages sent to the
NAS administrator(s),
select
Alert E-Mail
from the
Maintenance
menu.
You must have
an SMTP gateway to send
alerts.
¨
7.
(Optional) Set up Tape Device and backup software.
