Chapter 6: Tips and Tricks
USB and eSATA Storage Expansion
The 1U4600 supports external USB hard disks through its five USB ports. Once a
USB hard disk has successfully mounted, the entire volume will be linked
automatically to the default USB HDD folder. The 1U4600 supports up to 5 USB
external storage devices. All file names on the USB disk volume are case sensitive.
The 1U4600 also supports eSATA hard disks with its eSATA port.
Before attaching an eSATA or USB disk drive to 1U4600, you have to partition and
format it on a desktop computer or a notebook first. The attached device will be
located at
\\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sdf1
where
192.168.1.100
means the IP
address of 1U4600 and
sdf1
stands for the first partition on disk #6, the eSATA or
USB disk drive. If it is an NTFS partition, NAS users can open or copy files from
\\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sdf1
but cannot add new files or modify existing files.

NOTE
Adding a Spare Disk
With a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 volume, you can add a spare disk after
the initial RAID is setup. To add a spare disk, follow the steps below:
1. On the RAID Configuration Screen, tick the checkbox of the hard disk you
wish to designate as a spare disk.
2. Click Add Spare. The disk will be configured as a spare disk. The system
automatically rebuilds the spare disk when one of the disks in the RAID set
fails.
Remote Administration
You can set up your 1U4600 for remote administration. With remote administration,
you can access your 1U4600 over the Internet, even if your 1U4600 is behind a
router. This is especially useful if you are traveling and suddenly need a file from
your 1U4600.
Setting up remote administration is a three-part process, and will require the
following equipment:
•
Thecus 1U4600 NAS device
•
Cable / DSL Router with Dynamic DNS support
•
Home PC
•
Internet Connection
Router setup will differ slightly depending on router used. For this example,
we will use the Asus WL500g because it has support for Dynamic DNS.
Contact your router hardware vendor for setup help.
