Customizing Your Seagate® NAS

Enabling Power Saving

By default, the disk drive in your Seagate NAS spins constantly whenever the NAS is
powered on; however, there are times (like evenings, weekends, and holidays) when your
NAS may not be in use. You can use the Power-saving HDD Standby feature to conserve
energy and lower your power bill by setting the disk drive to stop spinning and enter a
standby mode when it's not in use.

Scheduling Power On and Off

You can set a schedule to power on and power off your Seagate NAS. For example, you may
want to power off the NAS if you don't need to access it over a weekend. You can select one
or more days and set the hour and minute to power on and off the NAS.

Enabling Virtualization (iSCSI)

Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) allows users to access the Seagate NAS
over an Ethernet connection, even if the NAS is not physically near the computer.
After you create an iSCSI drive on the Seagate NAS, users can connect to the drive from
their computers. iSCSI is best suited for transmitting large amounts of data. Volume(s)
associated with iSCSI must have a RAW format.
Note: iSCSI is only available for Windows operating systems. Client computers must use the
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator administrative tool to connect to the server.
To enable iSCSI, in NAS Manager, go to Storage > Virtualization (iSCSI).
