Basic Installation

Hardware Setup

This section provides unpacking and installation information for the
PowerBay NAS array. Open the shipping carton for the PowerBay NAS
array and carefully unpack its contents.
1. Ensure that a hard drive cartridge is inserted into each of the
four mounting racks and that the cartridge locking buttons are in
the left (locked) position.
2. Connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the LAN port located at
the back of the device. Connect the other end of this cable to
your network, either via a switch/router or via direct connection
to your computer for confi guration.
3. Connect the supplied power cord to the rear of the PowerBay
NAS array and to an AC power receptacle.
4. Press the Power button on the front of the PowerBay NAS array.
The green status LED will begin to fl ash to indicate that the unit
has initiated the power-on sequence.
5. Wait for the PowerBay NAS array to boot up and to auto-
confi gure its connection on the network. Depending on your
particular LAN confi guration and settings, this may take several
minutes. The following protocols will be followed during auto-
confi guration:
a. DHCP client is enabled by default. Therefore, your router
or other LAN equipment that is providing the DHCP service will
automatically assign an IP address to the PowerBay NAS array
and complete the network connection.
b. If no DHCP server is available on your network, then
the PowerBay NAS array will take its default IP address of
192.168.0.32.
6. After successfully connecting to your network you will be able
to discover the PowerBay NAS array on your network. Its default
name is "PowerBay".
7. Before you can see any PowerBay NAS array shared folders, you
must fi rst set up user accounts, or at a minimum must assign
read/write privileges for the default folder named Volume_1.
This process is explained further below. Once this is done, you
will be able to discover shared folders in network workgroup
named "Workgroup". In Windows go to My Network Places /
Entire Network / Microsoft Windows Network / Workgroup, or in
Mac OS X navigate to Go / Network.
To set up other user accounts, and to confi gure other basic system
settings, you should continue setup using the web-based administration
tool described in the next section.
Once the PowerBay NAS array is connected to your network and has
been confi gured for your network environment, it can be accessed
from any computer within the same subnet on your LAN. Furthermore,
more advanced users may choose to confi gure name servers (such
as WIN servers or DNS servers) in order to access the PowerBay NAS
array from a different subnet.

Software Setup

The included CD-ROM contains copies of the User Guide, as well as
two software applications: 1) MagicalFinder, and 2) Acronis backup
software.

Magical Finder - Network Setup Utility

When fi rst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the PowerBay
NAS array will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP. If it does
not receive a DHCP as¬signed IP address, by default it will have a self-
assigned IP address of 192.168.0.32.
If your router assigns addresses automatically, your router's manual
will describe how to view the DHCP Lease List so you can see your
drive's assigned IP address. Alternatively, you can fi nd your drive's IP
address using the included Magical Finder utility that is provided on
the product CD. If you are unfamiliar with the operation of your router,
you may fi nd it easier to use the Magical Finder.
1. Open the Magical Finder Utility and allow it to search for the
PowerBay NAS array.
2. After fi nding the PowerBay NAS array the utility will list the
device's IP address, MAC address and Device Name. (If the
device is not listed on the initial scan you can press the Refresh
button to initiate a Re-Scan)
You have three options:
• IP Setup Button: To enter the IP Address Setup.
• Folder Button: To open Windows Explorer to \\PowerBay.
• Browser Button: To link to the device web confi guration.
