INSTALLATION AND SETUP

2 SET UP OF THE NAS

To make installation easier, here we describe in detail the steps needed
to setup an Infrant ReadyNAS NV+. For other NAS devices consult the
documentation from your NAS vendor. The instructions below assume
that the NAS has been supplied with hard drives pre-installed. The RAID
configuration for the Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ is best set at X-RAID. For
other manufacturers' devices RAID 5 should be chosen to allow easy
future expansion of storage.
1. On the installation PC/laptop disable all firewalls and the proxy
server.
2. Follow the Getting Started Guide supplied with the ReadyNAS, up
to and including installing the RAIDar software. Once installed and
running, RAIDar will scan the network for the Ready NAS. If the
screen below appears, check all connections, ensure all firewalls and
the proxy server are disabled, then press 'Rescan'.
When the screen below appears, select the appropriate NAS (if more
than one is available), then press 'Setup'.
You will be asked for a user name and password. Enter the default user
name and password as shown in the ReadyNAS installation guide.
After you login, select 'Next' from the bottom-right corner.
