Overview

The Windows

Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2 operating system

adds new search capabilities, simplified setup and storage management,
extensibility, and is specially tuned to provide optimal NAS performance.
Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2 provides significant
enhancements in storage management scenarios, and ease of installation.

Your NAS system is preconfigured with the Windows

Storage Server 2003 R2

x64 Edition with SP2 operating system. Most of the setup procedures are
completed for you and do not require user intervention.

When your system boots for the first time, the Microsoft Mini Setup process
begins. When completed, your system automatically reboots and you can access
the server either locally or remotely.

NOTE:

If your system is pre-configured with software redundant array of

independent disks (RAID) 5, the system performs a RAID synchronization to optimize
the array. The process runs in the background and may affect your overall system
performance until it completes. If the system is powered off before the process
completes, RAID synchronization will begin again when the system is powered up
and continue until it completes.
