four mountin
g
racks and that the cartrid
g

2. Connect the su

the back o
f
the device.
C
onnect the other end o
f
this cable to
y
our network, either via a switch/router or via direct connection
to
y
our com
p

f

to discover the PowerBay NAS array on your network. Its de
f

n
ame is
“P

”.
7. Before you can see any PowerBay NAS array shared folders, you
m
ust fi rst set up user accounts, or at a minimum must assign
r
ead/write privileges for the default folder named Volume_1.
This process is explained further below. Once this is done, you
w
ill be able to discover shared folders in network workgroup
n
amed “Workgroup”. In Windows go to My Network Places /
Entire Network / Microsoft Windows Network / Work
g
rou
p
, or in
Mac OS X navigate to Go / Network
.
To set up other user accounts, and to con
fi
gure other basic system
settings, you should continue setup using the web-based administration

Once the PowerBa
y
NAS arra
y
is connected to
y
our network and has
been confi
g
ured for
y
our network environment, it can be accessed
f
rom any computer within the same subnet on your LAN. Furthermore,
more advanced users may choose to con
fi
gure name servers (such
as WIN servers or DNS servers) in order to access the PowerBa
y
NAS
arra
y
from a different subnet
.

p
Utilit
y
W
hen fi rst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the PowerBay
NAS array will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP. If it does
not receive a DHCP as¬signed IP address, by default it will have a self-
assigned IP address of 192.168.0.32.
If your router assigns addresses automatically, your router’s manual
w
ill describe how to view the DHCP Lease List so you can see your
drive’s assigned IP address. Alternatively, you can fi nd your drive’s IP
address usin
g
the included Ma
g
ical Finder utilit
y
that is
p
rovided on
the
p
roduct CD. If
y
ou are unfamiliar with the o
p
eration of
y
our router,
you may fi nd it easier to use the Magical Finder.
1. Open the Magical Finder Utility and allow it to search
f
or the
PowerBa
y
NAS arra
y
.
2. After fi nding the PowerBay NAS array the utility will list the
device’s IP address, MAC address and Device Name. (I
f
the
device is not listed on the initial scan you can press the Re

RAID 1 with S
p
are: RAID 1 (also called Mirrorin
g
) stores a du
p
licate set
of data onto at least one other disk so that if one disk fails
,
all data can
be recovered
f
rom the other disk. The PowerBay NAS array implements
RAID 1 in a wa
y
that
p
rovides for even more redundanc
y
, resultin
g
in
maximum fault tolerance. It does this b
y
(a) usin
g
two drives as mirrors
instead o
f
just one, and (b) using the
f
ourth drive as a spare. The spare
drive will automaticall
y
rebuild as a fresh mirror whenever a failure of
one of the other three drives is detected. Available ca
p
acit
y
is e

more disks in a way that protects data against loss of any one disk. The
stora

:
1. Select “RAID 5” to build a 4-disk array. Available capacity will be
equal to that of three disk cartridges

2. Select “RAID 5 with Spare” to build a 3-disk array. The fourth disk

other three drives is detected. Available capacity is equal to that
of two disk cartridges.
RAID
6
: RAID 6 (Striping with distributed dual parity) combines all
f
our
disks in a way that protects data against loss of any two disks. In the
event of a single disk failure, the use of dual parity allows for time to
rebuild the array sa
f
ely without the data being at risk i
f
an additional
drive fails before the rebuild is complete. Available capacity is equal to
that of two disk cartrid
g

.
Array Mirroring to eSATA Driv

T

to an attached eSATA drive. If a catastrophic failure of the NAS array
occurs

the full data can be restored from the eSATA drive once the

the eSATA drive will not be recognized as a mirror device, so the eSATA drive will no

provided to UNLOCK a LOCKED array
:
1. Enter the NAS user inter
