system. This document also describes how to use the storage management software. Information

contained in the manual has been reviewed for accuracy, but not for product warranty because of the

various environment/OS/settings. Information and specifications will be changed without further notice.

This manual uses section numbering for every topics being discussed for easy and convenient way of

finding information in accordance with the user‟s needs. The following icons are being used for some

details and information to be considered in going through with this manual:

Notes: These are notes that contain useful information and tips that the user must give attention to in going

through with the subsystem operation.

Important: These are the important information that the user must remember.

Warning: These are the warnings that the user must follow to avoid unnecessary errors and bodily injury during

hardware and software operation of the subsystem.

Caution: These are the cautions that user must be aware to prevent damage to the equipment and its

components.

Before You Begin · Safety Guidelines

Before You Begin

Before going through with this manual, you should read and focus to the following safety guidelines.

Notes about the subsystem product packaging and delivery are also included.

Safety Guidelines

To provide reasonable protection against any harm on the part of the user and to obtain maximum

performance, user is advised to be aware of the following safety guidelines particularly in handling

hardware components:

Upon receiving of the product:

Place the product in its proper location.

To avoid unnecessary dropping out, make sure that somebody is aound for immediate assistance.

It should be handled with care to avoid dropping that may cause damage to the product. Always use

the correct lifting procedures.

Upon installing of the product:

Ambient temperature is very important for the installation site. It must not exceed 30°C. Due to

seasonal climate changes; regulate the installation site temperature making it not to exceed the

allowed ambient temperature.

Before plugging-in any power cords, cables and connectors, make sure that the power switches are

turned off. Disconnect first any power connection if the power supply module is being removed from

the enclosure.

Outlets must be accessible to the equipment.

All external connections should be made using shielded cables and as much as possible should not

be performed by bare hand. Using anti-static hand gloves is recommended.

In installing components, secure all the mounting screws and locks. Make sure that all screws are

fully tightened. Follow correctly all the listed procedures in this manual for reliable performance.

Packaging, Shipment and Delivery

Before removing the subsystem from the shipping carton, you should visually inspect the physical

condition of the shipping carton.

Unpack the subsystem and verify that the contents of the shipping carton are all there and in good

condition.

Exterior damage to the shipping carton may indicate that the contents of the carton are damaged.

If any damage is found, do not remove the components; contact the dealer where you purchased the

subsystem for further instructions.

The NAS System · //Introduction

Introduction

The NAS System

Storage networks become more and more complex. If you need to easily expand storage capacity while

providing uninterrupted high-performance data access across your LAN, you may want to consider a NAS

(Network Attached Storage) appliance. When budgets are tight and a quick fix is required, a NAS

appliance is a low-cost, efficient solution to dodge that network-to-storage logjam. That's why more and

more users select NAS architecture as their storage networking.

The NAS system is a reliable, cost-effective way to add storage to the network. It comes with 5 drive trays

accommodating 3.5" SATA II drives while SCA-II single connector architecture enables true hot swap

capability. Built-in Intel Celeron 1.6GHz CPU (or above), up to 2GB DDR2-667MHz SDRAM and two

Gigabit Ethernet ports offers high performance NAS platform. With Linux-based embedded OS design, it

can boot without HDD, FDD or CD-ROM to guarantee reliability and quick boot. The NAS system is

managed and configured by Flex/Ruby browser-based software, and some features include pre-configure

disk capacity, users setting, volume management, quick installation on popular network platform, and

multi-protocol support. It is equipped with software RAID to offer fault tolerant data protection. It offers full

featured data protection supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Linear.

System reliability is ensured by an environmental monitoring unit, which tracks the enclosure temperature

as well as individual disk temperatures. If any irregularity in the system occurs, the monitoring unit alerts

the administrator.

Key Features

Supports up to five hot-swappable SATA II hard drives

Equipped with software RAID function and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Linear

Linux-based embedded OS design

Provides file access services to multiple users over the LAN, the intranet and / or the internet

Multi-protocol support (TCP/IP, DHCP, AppleTalk, Mac Zone, SMB, NFS, CIFS, AFP over TCP/IP,

HTTP)
