Setup Instructions

Follow the steps below to successfully set up your Cavalry Network Attached

Storage (NAS) with your computer.

Step 1. For optimal security and convenience, we recommend designating a

single computer to handle all NAS configuration settings.

Step 2. Start your computer and wait for Windows/Mac OS/Linux to load

completely.

Step 3. Connect the power adapter to the drive. Then plug the power

adapter into an electrical outlet. Turn on the power switch; the "Power" LED

will light up to indicate proper operation.

Step 4. Insert the Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the back of the CAND

and the other end to an Ethernet port on the network adapter of a router /

switch / hub. The "Link" LED will illuminate to indicate proper connection.

Step 5. It will take about 2 minutes to boot up the unit. During this time, the

"Link" LED will be blinking. Once the unit is booted up, you may proceed to

"Basic NAS Setup" on the next page.

NOTE: To shut down the unit, make sure all current downloads and transfers

are stopped before turning off the power switch. The unit will shut down after

1 minute. If the system will be off for an extended period of time, remember

to also remove the power adapter from the electrical outlet.

NOTE: To create a printer server, simply connect the printer via USB directly

to the NAS. The CAND can also host other devices.

Basic NAS Setup

Step 1. Insert the Resources CD and open the "SetupUtil" file under the

folder: "Contents/CAND/"

Step 2. Once the Setup Wizard appears, click on Setup.

Step 3. NAS will automatically show up in the device list. Select “nas” and

click OK to change the IP setting.

Step 5. Choose a name and set up the IP configuration. We recommend

using the “Automatically obtain an IP address (DHCP)”. Click Next.

Step 6. Follow the instructions and continue with setup of date and time.

Save your settings.

Step 7. Enter Setup again and double-click on "nas". Your default web

browser will open the Web Configuration page.

Step 8. Go to "Maintainance" >> "Disk Utility" to set up the hard drives.

Step 9. Go to "Maintainance" >> "RAID Settings" to choose which RAID

setting you want. Click on “Create raid system” to start building RAID level

and formatting. Do not perform other functions while formatting.

NOTE: RAID 0 provides no data protection and faster speeds, RAID1

provides data protection but with half the capacity of the total drive, and

JBOD makes the computer detect the 2 hard drives in the unit as separate.

Basic, Control Panel, and Personal Info.

Troubleshooting

LED light indicator does not turn on

Make sure the power adapter is securely connected to a working electrical

outlet. Secondly, make sure the Ethernet cable is inserted correctly into the

hard drive and the router. Turn on the power switch (page 7).

Computer does not detect hard drive

Be sure to wait at least 2 minutes for the unit to boot up. Make sure the

Ethernet cable between the device and the router / swtich / hub is securely

connected. It could take a few minutes before the setup utility will detect the

hard drive.

Loud noises coming from external hard drive

In most cases, loud noises coming from the drive suggest a defective drive or

a loose part. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please

contact customer service for assistance.

One of the hard drives appeared to have failed

This indicates one of the drives may need replacing. The hard drive must be

replaced by another hard drive of the same capacity, brand, and model

number. Open the enclosure, remove the failed hard drive and replace with

the new drive. Close the unit. The new drive should rebuild automatically.
