Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Business Series Network Storage System (NSS).

Administering a network can be a difficult job. Finding low-cost ways to simplify your data-

management tasks means that you have more resources to dedicate elsewhere. The NSS is a

Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit that appears as a native file server for the various clients

within your network, including Windows, Apple Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux platforms. The biggest

benefit to your users is that they can now access data that might be stored across different physical

platforms as simply as if it were on their own computers. The NSS provides a single repository that

is completely dedicated to storage, ensuring the integrity, reliability, and accessibility of your data

for a relatively low cost.

The NSS lets you install up to four physical disk drives as well as virtualize your storage into one or

more logical, redundant storage units or RAID arrays. The NSS uses the most common file-based

protocols such as NFS, CIFS, and FTP for file sharing.

Benefits

The NSS offers the following main advantages to your business:

•Cross-platform File Sharing: Share files easily and inexpensively across heterogeneous

platforms over a cost-effective Ethernet and IP network.

•Easy Installation and Administration: With a basic understanding of networking, the NSS is

easily configured, managed, and made available to all of your networked users.

•Data Consolidation: Centralize data to reduce management costs and maximize your

investment in existing hardware. This also means better data security.

About this Guide...

The Getting Started Guide contains the step-by-step details for getting your NSS up and running for

the first time---from hooking up the hardware to doing the basic configuration steps to get the NSS

running. Users are shown how to log into the NSS to access storage.

Chapter

Recommended Installation Sequence

Follow the NSS installation steps to set up and configure the device. They provide out-of-the-box

instructions. You can find detailed instructions for each step in the remaining sections of this guide.

• Part A: Set up the hardware:

- Step 1: Install the disk drives. Skip this step if you have an NSS4100 or NSS6100 as they

are already equipped with disk drives.

- Step 2: Connect the Ethernet cable(s).

- Step 3: Connect the power.

• Part B: Configure the NSS:

- Step 1: Configure the Network Settings IF a DHCP server is not present. (If there is a DHCP

server, skip this step.)

- Step 2: Log into the Configuration Interface

- Step 3: Configure the Time setting (options include NTP or manual).

- Step 4: Configure the RAID(s). You can choose to skip this step if you have an NSS4100 or

NSS6100 as it is preconfigured with a RAID5 array.

- Step 5: Create the volume(s).

- Step 6: If you have multiple NSS units (one of which is a NSS6000 series unit), and you

want to virtualize your storage, set up the export/import of the virtualized RAID arrays.

- Step 7: Set up the User and Group ID ranges and the users’ home directory location (this

enables the import of groups/users from Domain Controllers and to create local users and

groups).

- Step 8: Configure the Network Domain Identification (NT4, Active Directory, NIS, etc.) to

join the NSS to a domain.

- Step 9: Add any locally defined groups or users. (Optional)

- Step 10: Create share(s) and enable access to these shares (i.e., CIFS, NFS, FTP). You can

also define the DFS access.

- Step 11: If you have an NSS6000 series unit, configure the volume snapshots. (Optional)

- Step 12: Configure the share backups. (Optional)

- Step 13: Go through the rest of the configuration options to set up quotas, edit groups, set

up email and SNMP alerts, and so on. For more detailed information, refer to the Online

Help from the Configuration Manager, or the Linksys Business Series Network Storage

System Administrator Guide available from the Linksys website at www.linksys.com

- Step 14: After you configure the NSS, save a copy of the configuration file to a location on

the NSS and to a USB key.

• Part C: Instruct your users how to access the NSS.

Chapter 2: Setting up the Hardware

Step 1: Install the Disk Drives

Getting Started Guide

Chapter

Part A: Set up the Hardware

This chapter provides details for installing the NSS hardware. The installation is broken down into

the following steps:

1. Step 1: Install the Disk Drives: If your NSS does not have disk drives already installed, follow

the steps in this section to insert disk drives into the NSS chassis.

2. Step 2: Connect the Ethernet Cable(s): Connect up to two Ethernet links from the NSS to your

network.

3. Step 3: Connect the Power: Ensure you have connected the power cable from the NSS to the

applicable power source (UPS or mains).

Step 1: Install the Disk Drives

After you remove the NSS from the packaging, you are ready to set up the hardware. For the

NSS6100 or NSS4100, skip this step and go to Step 2 to install the Ethernet cable(s).

8Chapter 2: Setting up the Hardware

Step 1: Install the Disk Drives

Getting Sarted Guide

Chapter

To install the disk drives into the NSS:

1. Remove a disk tray from the front of the NSS chassis by pushing in the tab on the front of the

tray. (There is no recommended order of which tray to remove first.) The disk drives are

numbered from 1 to 4 (left to right) in the front of the chassis.

2. Position the disk drive into a disk tray.

3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, either screw in two screws on each side of the disk tray to the disk

drive, or screw in the four screws on the bottom of the disk tray to the disk drive.

4. Apply even pressure to the both corners of the tray while you insert the tray fully into position in

the chassis.

5. When the disk drive is inserted all the way in, close the latch on the disk drive tray.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for each disk drive you want to install.
