Chapter 1
Introduction
iSCSI
Can be placed anywhere
It is recognized as a local hard disk just like USB
hard drives, but you don't have to place this
unit close to your computer or server unlike a
USB hard drive since this unit is connected via
the network.
Can be used as a local drive
Since it is recognized as a local drive, all features
of your OS and applications can be used. You can
format the drive with NTFS from Windows.
This example shows a TS-IXL TeraStation. The rackmount TS-RIXL is functionally identical.
iSCSI Compatible Hard Drive
iSCSI ("Internet Small Computer System Interface") is a standard to transmit data on an Ethernet network by
encapsulating SCSI commands in TCP/IP protocol. Connecting Ethernet cabling as iSCSI, it is recognized as a
local drive by computers or servers.
TeraStation IS Setup Guide 4
For best results, use dedicated Gigabit (1000BASE-T)
NICs, cabling, and routers to connect iSCSI drives.
Use of slower network equipment, or sharing a
network with normal Ethernet trafc, will compromise
performance.
Consider Network Structure
Differences between NAS and iSCSI
NAS
Servers and computers directly access shared folders on a NAS.
• Create and use shared folders easily (no extra server needed)
• Access les directly using XFS format.
• Features like backup are built-in to the NAS.
iSCSI
A server creates shared folders on the iSCSI drive, and a
computer accesses shared folders on the server.
• Can be used as a local drive from Windows Server and
accessed via the server by client computers.
• All standard Windows features such as Access
Restrictions with Active Directory can be used on iSCSI
drives.
• Database software that requires special formatting can
by used with iSCSI drives..
TeraStation IS Setup Guide 5
Install the "Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator" rst.
Before you can use iSCSI equipment with Windows XP, 2000, or Server 2003, you must
download and install the "Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator".
1. Navigate to Microsoft's web site ( www.microsoft.com).
2. Search for "Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator".
3. Download the latest version of the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator.
4. When the download is complete, double-click on the installer. Uncheck the "Initiator
Service" and "Software Initiator" checkboxes. Follow the wizard to install the Microsoft
iSCSI Software Initiator.
Install the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator
Windows XP/2000、Windows Server 2003/2000 Server
Windows 7/ Vista, Windows Server 2008
If you’re using Windows 7, Vista, or Windows Server 2008, the iSCSI Software Initiator is
already installed on your computer. You don’t need to download and install it.
TeraStation IS Setup Guide 6
Refer to the separate "Quick Setup Guide" for connection instructions.
▼
Turn on your computer
▼
Insert the Utility CD included in the package into the CD/DVD drive

Launch the iSCSI Hard Disk Connection Tool, click “Register the iSCSI Hard Disk”,
then “Connect”.
Setup
Notes: • If there is a DHCP server in the network, the TeraStation will get an IP address from it automatically.
• Running the TeraNavigator software will automatically assign an unused IP address to a TeraStation.
• TeraNavigator can automatically congure only one unit at a time. To recongure a TeraStation with
TeraNavigator after its initial installation, initialize the TeraStation rst.
• If no DHCP server is available and TeraNavigator is not run, a random IP address of the form 169.254.
xxx.xxx (where each xxx is a random number from 1 - 256) will be assigned to the TeraStation.
If you are using Windows 2000, XP, 2000 Server, or Server 2003, install the "Microsoft
iSCSI Software Initiator" before installing the TeraStation.
Run TeraNavigator separately for each iSCSI TeraStation.
Note: If no DHCP server is available on the network, an IP Address of the form 169.254.xxx.xxx is randomly
assigned. Run TeraNavigator to congure the Terastation automatically.
