Setting Up Your Seagate® NAS

Completing the Setup

Your Seagate NAS comes with many default values to help you quickly set up your NAS and
start protecting and sharing your data.
The following table lists the default values you can accept when setting up your Seagate
NAS.
Table 1: Seagate NAS Defaults
1-Bay
1 administrator account
1 Pre-selected Local Area Net-
work 1 (LAN 1).
DHCP network mode
2 Shared folders: Download
and Public
1 Volume
RAID protection not available
Important: The shaded rows represent a critical path to complete your setup. If you want to
customize your NAS by changing the default Volume and RAID configurations, you need to
change these items during setup before you store data. If you make these changes after you
have stored data, you will lose your data.
If you want to accept the default settings for your Seagate NAS, you need to complete the
"Getting Started Tasks" on page 10. These default settings include using the default Volume
and RAID settings. If you want to add more volumes or change RAID, to make changes now,
go to "Customizing Your Seagate® NAS" on page 19.
TIP: If you are not familiar with some of the terms used in this guide, review the "Glossary"
on page 37.
The NAS Manager Dashboard has a Getting Started panel that helps you track the
recommended steps to set up your NAS.

Getting Started Tasks

The tasks you need to complete are organized into four categories:
• Basic: Set up users, shared folders, groups, global access and email notifications.
• Protection: Set up your NAS for local backups, NAS to NAS backups, and USM/USB/
NAS transfers.
