Accessing the Hard Disks
The StorPoint NAS integrates into your network operating system just like any other file server.
Thus you can use standard commands to access it.
To access the hard disks from within your Windows, DOS or UNIX applications, you must first
mount the StorPoint NAS in order to make the data available to your system. On PCs, you
typically do this by mapping the StorPoint NAS volumes to a drive letter. Some applications will
not run properly unless the data is located at root level. Hard disks or folders that include such
applications must therefore be mapped to individual drive letters.
