Installation Instructions
If you bought your Serial ATA 4-Drive NAS with the disks already installed and configured, and you do not
want to change your disk configuration, skip step one and proceed with Attaching USB Devices in step
two on page 9.
Step One: Determine Your Configuration
Before you start the physical installation of your storage system, decide which configuration is best suited
to your needs. The configuration that you choose may affect the order in which you load the disks into
your storage system, and you will need to specify your configuration choice when you reach “Step Five:
Configure your Storage System”.
Each supported configuration has a different balance of desirable characteristics, as shown in the table
below. The configurations available to you depend on the number of disks installed in your storage sys-
tem. Use this table to select your configuration based on the number of disks you intend to use and the
characteristics that are of the highest priority to you.
