Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement
of the device is very important. Do not place the device in an enclosed
area such as a closet or cabinet.

Before You Begin

Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites
for proper installation of your new device. Have all the necessary
information and equipment on hand before beginning the
installation.
Note: Capacity dependent on model. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes / 1 GB = 1,000,000,000
bytes / 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Some capacity used for pre-loaded software,
formatting and other functions, and thus is not available for data storage. As a result,
and due to differing calculation methods, your operating systems may report as fewer
megabytes/gigabytes/ terabytes.

Default Settings

The default values for the PowerBay NAS array are as follows:
• User Name is 'admin'
• Password is blank
