NAS Starter Utility
2.1 Overview
This chapter describes the NAS Starter Utility. You must use the NAS Starter
Utility each time you install a new hard disk on the NSA. The NAS Starter Utility
does the following:
• Discover and access the NSA’s Web Configurator when you connect the NSA for
the first time to your computer or your network
• Installs the firmware on the hard disk in your NSA so you can start configuring
the NSA
The NAS Starter Utility formats the hard disk so that it installs the firmware on
one partition and your data on another, as described in the following figure.
Figure 5 NSA210 Hard Disk Partition
Make sure you have a backup of any existing data in the hard disk
before installing it in the NSA. The NSA installs its firmware on the
hard disk and this may result to all data being deleted in the
process.
The NAS Starter Utility works on Windows platforms (Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Vista or Windows 7).
Note: Refer to the Quick Start Guide for for your NSA’s hardware connections and the
steps for installing the NAS Starter Utility.
