Us i n g Yo u r A p pl i a n c e fo r t he Fi rs t T i m e

Check the documentation that accompanied the device for specific installation

and configuration instructions. For example, most devices must be attached to a

particular port or connector to operate properly. In addition, it is usually necessary

to install device drivers before the device can operate. Device drivers are normally

included with your operating system software, or with the device itself.

Always attach external devices while your system is turned off. Unless

documentation for the device specifies otherwise, power on the external device

before powering on the system again. (If the system does not seem to recognize

the device, try turning on the system before turning on the device.)

If you have external storage systems, connect them to the NAS appliance using

SCSI cables and the SCSI controller card connectors installed in the PCI slots.

For more information, see the documentation that came with your storage

systems.
