Setup Overview Checklist
¨ 1. Location – Excessive heat is the #1 cause of disk failure. Place the NAS in a cool, secure
location with plenty of breathing space and nothing blocking the vents. See pg. 7. Plug in
the network cable, power cords, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
¨ 2. Run Setup – Start the NAS and run the setup wizard. After entering the activation key
code, to set the IP address, note that "Normal" installation assumes that you have a DHCP
server on your network to assign the NAS IP. If not, you can use the "Custom Settings"
process to assign a static IP. The wizard process ends with a reboot.
¨ 3. IP in Browser and Logon – In the address line of internet Explorer, enter the IP address
plus :8098. Example: https://192.168.0.6:8098. If a security message appears, click Yes to
open the login dialog. Use the name and password you entered while running setup. See
pg. 9 for details.
¨ 4. Create Share(s) – The Shares menu allows you to set up volumes or folders for shared
access via selected sharing protocols, such as Windows (SMB), UNIX/Linux (NFS),
AppleTalk, and WEB (HTTP).
¨ 5. Enable User Access - The Windows Sharing dialog allows you to set user permissions,
caching options, and limit the number of users who can access the share simultaneously.
¨ 6. Setup an E-mail Account – To have status messages sent to the NAS administrator(s),
select Alert E-Mail from the Maintenance menu. You must have an SMTP gateway to send
alerts.
¨ 7. (Optional) Set up Tape Device and backup software.
