Basic Installation & Setup

The following section instructs you on how to physically connect the NAS to the network, and how to
configure the NAS for basic operation in your Windows environment. Everything you need to do to get
your NAS up and running is covered here.

Installation

Requirements

• Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP.
• Ethernet Network employing 10BaseT or 100BaseTX.
• TCP/IP protocol.

Procedure

Installation

1. Connect the network cable to the NAS.

Connect the network cable to the LAN port on the rear of the NAS. Connect the other end to your

hub or switch.

2. Connect the USB device to USB port
3. Connect the supplied power adapter to a power outlet and plug the power cord into the NAS's Power

input on the rear panel.

4. Power on.

Locate the NAS's power switch on the NAS's rear panel. Press it once to power on the NAS.

5. The NAS's self-test.

The NAS will run a brief self-test (2 or 3 seconds). During the self-test, all of the NAS's LEDs will be
illuminated or flashing.

6. Booting up.

When the self-test is complete, boot up will start. The Ready LED will blink continuously, and the LAN
LED will blink occasionally. Boot up should take approximately 1-3 minutes.

7. Boot up completed.

When the Ready LED stops blinking, and remains on, boot up is complete. If the Status (Orange) LED
stays on, or if the NAS repeatedly beeps, there is a hardware problem. Consult the Troubleshooting
section of this User Guide for possible solutions

Shutdown

To shutdown the NAS, press the power switch to start the shutdown sequence. Wait for all LEDs to turn off.
