Setup Steps for BlackArmor Users
• Store all your photos, videos, and music files to the server and use it as a media server so
that everyone on your network can access your files (see page 38).
• Monitor the server locally or remotely (see page 39).
The remainder of this guide introduces the server’s features and provides some recommenda-
tions to help you create a storage system that meets your needs.
Note: Don’t forget that you are also a BlackArmor user. To begin storing, backing up, and sharing
your files, continue with “Setup Steps for BlackArmor Users”.
