Chapter 2. Installation and Set-up of Network Disk Server
2.1 Installing the Hardware
The following steps will guide you through the Network Disk Server hardware installation: 1. Connect the Network Disk ServerTM to your Network. Note: The system provides two to three network ports. To configure Fail Over and Load Balance, at least two network ports must be connected. 2. If you want to back up your files to the tape, please connect the tape drive to the SCSI port on the back of your Network Disk Server. Then turn on the tape drive. (This function is only applicable for Network Disk Server models with SCSI port). 3. To use a UPS with your unit, please connect the UPS to the RS232 port on the back of your Network Disk Server via a serial cable. And connect the power plug of the Network Disk Server to the output power inlet of the UPS. (This function is only applicable for Network Disk Server models with SCSI port). 4. Power on the Network Disk ServerTM . Note: The power switch uses toggle switch design (after pushing the button it will return to the original position). All you need to do is to flip the switch one to turn-on or turn-off.

When all power cables have been properly connected, push the Power Switch on the back of the Network Disk Server. The LCD Panel will light up and the system is ready for set-up: Server Name Date

Time
At this time the hardware installation of your Network Disk Server is complete. Please proceed to "Set-up before First Operation".
2.2 Set-up before First Operation
The factory default settings of your Network Disk Server will search the network via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to automatically detect IP address settings. If your network does not support the DHCP protocol, the Network Disk Server will use the default settings listed below: IP Address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Once the Network Disk Server completes its boot-up process, the LCD panel displays the current IP address settings. If your network does not support the DHCP protocol, you must configure your Network Disk Server to the proper LAN settings before using it for the first time. (If you do not know your LAN settings, please contact your network administrator). 1. Use the LCD panel to change the network settings. For more information, see Appendix A. 2. Use the Quick Install Wizard on the CD-ROM to change the network settings. For more information, see Appendix D. Once you complete the Network Disk Server settings, you can use your web browser to perform further administrative settings.
