previously obtained when configuring the server’s
network configuration.
Click OK to exit the Configure TerraBlock Network
window. Quit and re-launch the TerraBlock

You should now be connected to the TerraBlock
Server. If a Tools Volume is listed but no other
volumes are displayed in the TerraBlock Manager

the TerraBlock Manager running on TerraBlock

Teamed Ethernet Connection
Included in the Ethernet Connectivity Kit is a dual channel Ethernet Network
Interface Card (NIC). You must install the Ethernet NIC into an available slot in the
TerraBlock Server. The driver for that card is also included with the kit on a USB
thumb drive. At this time Facilis only supports the use of X7 (or newer) based
TerraBlock 24EX and 24D units for the 4X teamed Ethernet option.
Under certain rare circumstances the process of creating a NIC team
for the Ethernet based Shared File System may prevent the
TerraBlock Server software (smdrive.exe) from starting successfully.
