features that ease the administration tasks associated with managing the
system:
•
The Recovery Disc (factory image) contains the preconfigured default
settings of either the Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 operating system

system. This is a quick and easy way to setup or bring the Viking Series
NAS appliances back to the factory default configuration.

1.2.

Redundancy

The Viking Series NAS appliance is specifically designed to perform file
serving tasks for networks, using industry standard components to ensure
reliability. Other industry standard features, such as redundant array of
independent drives (RAID) and remote manageability, further enhance the
overall dependability of the NAS appliance.
To ensure redundancy and reliability, it is recommended that the hard drives
installed in the Viking Series NAS appliance are configured so that a single
drive failure will not cause data loss or system failure.
Depending on the model of Viking Series NAS used, it is capable of support
from 4 HDD to 16 HDD in a single chassis:
•
Viking FS-412 supports up to 4 HDD (1U)
•
Viking FS-1600 / FS-1610 supports up to 16 HDD (3U)
