Step 4. Connect an Ethernet cable from your network to LAN1 (DHCP environment) or LAN2
(static IP) port on the back panel.
Step 5. Press the power button on the front panel. The MaxNAS will boot. The Power indicator
light should glow blue, and the LAN LED corresponding to the connected interface will
glow or blink green. All the HDD Power LEDs on each HDD tray should glow blue.

2. Accessing System Administration for the first time
The MaxNAS comes pre-configured with the LAN1 Ethernet port set to DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) and the LAN2 Ethernet port set to a static IP address, 192.168.2.100.
The current IP addresses are displayed on the LCD panel. The default WINS (Windows Internet
Naming Service) for the MaxNAS is “MaxNAS”. Included with your MaxNAS is a discovery wizard
for Mac and PC, which allows click-and-select
simplicity; simply install the wizard software,
launch it, and the wizard discovers your
MaxNAS for administration.
IMPORTANT! If you are adding a MaxNAS to a
network with existing MaxNAS products, please make
sure to assign each unit a different name. See Chapter
3, Section 2.3 for more information.
