DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 9
1 Getting Started
The DataSafe NAS Network Attached Storage (NAS) is
a Microsoft® Windows® Powered server appliance
that attaches directly to the computer network. The
DataSafe NAS is optimized to perform a single
function: provide storage to other computers attached
to the network. A potentially headless device with no
monitor or input devices (keyboard and mouse, for
example) of its own, the DataSafe NAS is managed
and monitored via a Web user interface (UI), and can
be managed remotely from a client computer attached
to the network. Because the DataSafe NAS is based on
the same code as Microsoft Windows® 2000, any
remote management methods available on the
Windows 2000 platform can also be used to manage
this unit.
The DataSafe NAS requires the NTFS file system. If file
allocation table (FAT) partitions are configured on the
DataSafe NAS, aspects of the UI will not perform
properly, including but not limited to:
n
Folders and Shares
n
Disks and Volumes
