Opening Windows Storage Server
Windows Storage Server can be opened using the procedure below.
1.
Open NAS Navigator2.
・ In Windows, double-click the BUFFALO NAS Navigator2 icon on the Desktop.
・ In Mac OS, click NAS Navigator2 icon in the Dock.
2.
Right-click the TeraStation icon (in Mac OS, click
while holding down the Control key), then select
Open Remote Desktop.
・ If two or more LinkStations or TeraStations are connected
on the same network, multiple icons will be displayed.
Select the TeraStation you want to open.
Computer
・ Selecting the TeraStation icon enables checking of the IP
address and other individual information for the
TeraStation.
・ Click Yes or Continue when "The identity of the remote computer cannnot be veri ed. Do you
want to connect anyway?" is displayed.
3.
Enter the username and password shown below,
then click OK.
Username: Administrator
Password: password
For security reasons, visit the "Change the TeraStation's
Computer
password" step in this guide.
4.
Windows Storage Server is started in the Remote Desktop.
This completes the opening of Windows Storage Server.
Windows Storage Server Recovery Procedure
If Windows Storage Server no longer functions properly, perform recovery using the
supplied USB device.
・ When recovery is performed, all data on drive 1 is erased.
・ Do not connect the supplied USB device to another TeraStation. The recovery
process performed by the supplied USB device is intended for this product
only.
Recovery is performed by deleting the area for drive 1, setting up a new 100 GB
(Basic Disk/Simple) area, and then copying the Windows Storage Server image
to this area.
If there are system areas (or mirrored locations) on hard drives other than drive 1, be sure
to delete the system areas (or disable the mirrored locations) before performing the
recovery procedure. If recovery is performed without deleting these areas, Windows
Storage Server may not run after recovery is performed.
If Windows Storage Server fails to run, turn off the TeraStation and perform the recovery
procedure again while all hard drives except for drive 1 (disk 0) are disconnected. After
recovery is complete, reconnect the disconnected drives, which will appear in Disk
Management as "Foreign". In Disk Management, right-click Foreign, select Import Foreign
Disks, then right-click this area and click Reactivate Volume to rebuild the RAID array.
1.
Turn off the TeraStation by following the procedure in
"Turning Off the TeraStation Power" on the back page.
Boot Mode switch
2.
Remove all hard drives except for Drive 1. For the
BOOT
removal procedure, see the separate sheet "Hard Drive
USB
HDD
Replacement Procedure".
3.
Connect the supplied USB device to the USB 2.0 port.
4.
Set the Boot Mode switch to "USB", then press the
power button. This executes the recovery process.
USB 2.0 port
5.
The TeraStation shuts down automatically when the
Power button
recovery process is complete.
6.
Remove the USB device, set the Boot Mode switch to
"HDD", and press the power button.
When the initial setup is complete, the TeraStation will
reboot into Windows Storage Server.
During the recovery process, the Power button flashes green. Also, "TeraStation Booting System" is
displayed on the LCD panel.
After the recovery process is completed, the TeraStation is set to the state
below (at default settings).
・ Drive 1
100 GB (Basic Disk/Simple). The remaining space is an unallocated area.
・ Drives 2 to 4
The data on the drives cannot be viewed. They appear as a "Foreign" in Disk
Management.
・ The data on the drives can be viewed by right-clicking the area displayed as "Foreign" in Disk
Management and then selecting Import Foreign Disks. Right-click this area and click Reactivate
Volume to rebuild the RAID array.
・ To configure a RAID array using Drive 1, convert the "Basic Disk" to a "Dynamic Disk". To
convert, right-click the basic disk in Disk Management and select Convert to Dynamic Disk.
This completes the recovery procedure.
Troubleshooting
■ If you are unable to search using NAS Navigator2 (or if the
Remote Desktop screen does not open), it may be due to one of the
following issues.
Cause 1. The cables are not connected correctly.
The cables are not physically connected, or there may be a contact defect. Reconnect the AC
cable and LAN cable then restart both the computer and TeraStation.
Cause 2. Software running in the background is blocking communication.
Add an exception to your rewall software, or disable the rewall software completely. Turn o
any security software (including antivirus and/or rewall software), then try again.
Cause 3. Wireless and wired adapters are both enabled.
Disable all adapters except for the LAN adapter connected to the TeraStation.
Cause 4. The LAN cable is defective, or the connection is unstable.
Try changing the hub port or LAN cable that you use to connect.
Cause 5. The LAN board, card, or adapter that you are using is defective.
Try changing the LAN board, card, or adapter.
Cause 6. The LAN board or hub transmission mode has not been set.
Change the transmission mode in the LAN board or hub to 10M semi-duplex or 100M semi-duplex.
Some LAN boards or hubs may be unable to connect to the network correctly when the
transmission mode is set to Auto Negotiation.
Cause 7. A network bridge is installed.
If the network has a network bridge that is not being used, remove it.
Cause 8. You are searching from a di erent network.
You cannot conduct searches beyond the network segment. Connect the TeraStation to the same
segment as the computer performing the search.
Cause 9. TCP/IP is not operating correctly.
Reinstall the LAN adapter drivers.
Cause 10. "Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac" is not installed on your Mac.
If using OS X 10.4 or later, download and install "Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2"
from www.microsoft.com. If using OS X 10.3.9, use version 1.0.3 instead.
■ When TeraStation shared folders suddenly do not open
If the TeraStation shared folder is assigned and used as a network drive, access to the
TeraStation may suddenly fail when the IP address or network group is changed, or for other
reasons. When this happens, follow the procedure on the front page to open the TeraStation
shared folder using the supplied NAS Navigator2.
In Mac OS, the TeraStation is either mounted as a drive on the Desktop or is displayed in the
Finder.
