1. Setup
Congratulations on your purchase of a Seagate® Business Storage Server. Your Seagate
server takes full advantage of the rich set of network administration tools offered by Windows
Storage Server 2012 Workgroup (WSS 2012). In addition to data sharing and backup, your
Seagate server can join active directories, replicate data across LANs and WAN, and
configure hard drives using advanced storage pools.
To set up your Seagate server, you must connect directly to the server with a keyboard,
display, and mouse. After the initial setup, you can connect to the server using Remote
Desktop from a network-connected Windows or Mac computer or a compatible mobile
device.
See the Quick Start Guide and the user manual for details about connecting the hardware.
