ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE
Key Features
Plug-and-play installation: The easy set up process allows you to integrate WD Sentinel
into your office network like a pro. The administration dashboard quickly guides you through
the process including adding users, setting up data access, creating shared folders, and
scheduling backups.
Easy maintenance: Replacing one of the pre-installed drives, or adding a new drive, is as
easy as changing a light bulb. Just open the door and swap out the drives. WD Sentinel
does the rest. It seamlessly migrates the server to the appropriate RAID level
and automatically expands the server’s storage capacity. Your users can still access your
business data while the drive is being integrated. No data loss. No down time.
Comprehensive data protection for your entire office has never been easier.
 The drives inside: Pre-configured with hard drives optimized for reliability, quality and
performance.
 RAID: Featuring levels 1or 5 for data protection and speed.
 Automatic backup and restore: The software saves time and space by performing a
full backup the first time and then automatically backing up only the data that has
changed since the previous backup. In the event of a drive failure, WD Sentinel’s easy
restore function finds your files, restores them to their previous location and gets you up
and running again quickly. The backup software also includes full metal backup.
 Dual Ethernet ports: Comes configured in Adaptive Fault Tolerance, which keeps your
network available by automatically switching to the second Ethernet port if the first one
should fail.
 Optional dual power supply: WD Sentinel DX4000 offers the small business owner
the option of adding a second power supply that will take over should a power surge or
other failure damage the first power supply. With the optional second power supply you
have the added peace of mind knowing that your system will remain operational.
Secure remote access: WD Sentinel is perfect for businesses with employees working in
satellite or home offices because you have the security of knowing all your business files are
safely stored in one place and remote employees can access them from any computer with
an Internet connection. WD Sentinel also performs automatic daily backups so all of the files
on all the computers in your network are backed up and protected.
Leading-edge performance: With dual Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, WD Sentinel
DX4000 delivers read/write speeds up to 100 MB/s through the Gigabit Ethernet interface.
That's three times faster than most network drives in this category today. For maximum
flexibility there is also a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port to allow you to connect additional storage
devices and experience up to 5Gb/s transfer rates.
