Installation

BroadNAS does not come with any pre-installed disks, so at least one disk
must be installed before connecting BroadNAS. Either one or two disk
drives can be installed in BroadNAS.
There are three main types of disk drives available:
IDE or ATA
SCSI
SATA
The disks uses in BroadNAS must be IDE disks—SCSI and SATA disks are
not compatible. Most disk drives sold are IDE drives, and they tend to be the
least expensive. IDE drives can be purchased at most computer supply stores
or online. Ask the seller to confirm that it is an IDE drive. When the disk(s)
is ready, begin the installation procedure.
WARNING!
your first disk or disks. If you have already connected any cables, disconnect
them now.
The following sections describe the installation process for the BroadNAS in
the order that they should be followed.
