Quick Installation Guide
Following is a quick installation guide to get you up and running. For further details on
each of the settings, please refer to Chapter 2 and subsequent chapters.
1. Install at least one hard drive.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable from your network router or switch to the i-Stor LAN.
3. When everything is connected, turn the i-Stor LAN on and give it about one minute
to boot up.
4. Access the web configuration interface via your web browser. See “How to login” in
Chapter 2.
5. Go to the Maintenance menu and use the disk utility to format the drive. If two
identical drives are installed, you can also go to the RAID Setting section and create
your RAID array.
6. Once the drive has been formatted, go to the Basic menu and follow the quick setup
wizard. This will help you to set up the IP configuration, add the first user and
prepare file sharing.
7. You are now ready to start sharing or downloading files.
Note: Set the speed for your network card to AUTO and not full or half speed.
Note: Without installing and formatting a drive first, most functions will not be available
(example: User&Group Management, BitTorrent download).
About Data Backup
To protect your files and help prevent the loss of your data, we strongly recommend that
you keep two copies of your data, one copy on your i-Stor and a second copy either on
your internal drive or another storage media such as a CD, DVD, Tape or an additional
external drive.
Any loss or corruption of data while using the i-Stor is the sole responsibility of the user,
and under no circumstances will the manufacturer be held liable for compensation or the
recovery of this data.
