Drive Carrier Order
Install Hard Drive Carriers
Scanning the Storage System As soon as you start the console, the console scans for all storage systems on the network and displays the IP address or name of all found systems.
Caution: Never change the bay position of a hard drive once the storage system has been configured and appropriate RAID levels have been applied to it. If a hard drive is removed, it must be re-installed in the same hard drive bay from which it was removed. Failure to do this may cause data on the hard drive to become inaccessible.
Once released, slide hard drive carrier out of drive bay. With lever in the fully open position, slide hard drive carrier into chassis. Do not push on lever until lever begins to close by itself.
E 3
Once the lever begins to latch, close lever to lock hard drive carrier into place.

(Optional) Configuring your System with a Fixed IP Address
Main Screen Select the “Advanced” tab.
This step is only required if you are configuring your storage system with a fixed IP address. If your system is configured for DHCP, proceed to Step 12.
Configuring the RAID Level Enter the appropriate RAID level. If you installed four hard drives, the following screen will appear. The software will highlight the recommended selection favoring data protection. Refer to the “Levels of RAID” section (below) for selecting alternative levels if your application does not require the best data protection. The RAID 0 and Linear options offer no data protection. Click “Next” to continue.
The settings are generated according to the values entered in the previous screen. It is recommended that you keep these values. If you want to increase the percentage for backups, enter the desired value and click anywhere on the screen to update it. Click “Finish” to continue.
Note: By default, a linear disk configuration is used for a single hard drive, RAID 1 for two hard drives, and RAID 5 for three or four hard drives. Depending on the number of hard drives installed, a different configuration screen will display with only applicable options shown.
To access the storage system, your computer will need to be set up on the same subnet as the storage system. The default IP address for your storage system is 192.168.0.101 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Click on “Start”, and then select “Control Panel”. Locate the “Network Connections” icon and click on it.
Right click on your Local Area Connection or Wireless Connection. Select “Properties”. Highlight the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” selection under the items section and click on the “Properties” button.
Click “OK” at the confirmation screen.
Entering the Host Name
Completing RAID Configuration
Select “System” from the left hand menu.
Note: The drives can take up to 40 hours to initialize for RAID 5 using large-capacity drives. RAID 0 and Linear can take up to ten minutes to initialize.
Enter the hostname for the storage system name.The hostname can be up to 15 characters long and may include letters, numbers and hyphens. Enter the current date and time and select the appropiate time zone.
Once the configuration is complete, the system restarts.
Enter the new admin password in the “Password” and “Confirm password” fields.
Configuring Drive Distribution
Click “Apply”.
The System Status LED will blink green and then turn solid green.
In the “Disks to Back Up” screen, select the total number of hard disks to back up. Enter the total disk capacity for each hard disk in the appropriate disk field (Disk 1, Disk 2, etc.). If you do not plan to back up any disks, enter 0. Click “Next” to continue.
Select “Use the following IP address” to manually enter an IP address. Enter the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for your client. Select an address other than 101 because that is the default IP address for the storage system. Click “OK” when done. At the “Local Area Connection Properties” screen, click “OK” to apply the changes.
Completing Setup This completes the basic user configuration of the MAXDATA SN 40 Entry Storage System. Refer to the MAXDATA SN 40 M1 User Guide for additional information on setting up users and shared folders, and backing up systems. For installation of the Client Backup and Recovery software, refer to Chapter 4, “Protecting Local Disks”, in the MAXDATA SN 40 M1 User Guide.
Configuring the IP Address Select “Get an IP address automatically” if you are connected to a network with DHCP server or enter the IP address and network mask if you are using a fixed IP address.

Number of Disks: 3 or 4 Net Capacity using Three 500-GB drives: 1 TB Four 500-GB drives: 1.5 TB
Striping with parity. Data and parity information are spread among each drive in the array. A good compromise of performance, fault tolerance, and drive space utilization. RAID 5 can be used with four drives or the fourth drive can optionally be designated as a spare.
Number of Disks: 4 Net Capacity using 500-GB drives: 1.0 TB
Striping with parity. Data and parity information are spread among each drive in the array. A good compromise of performance, fault tolerance, and drive space utilization. In case of drive failure, the spare will automatically replace the failed drive and the data will be recovered automatically.
Number of Disks: 4 Net Capacity using 500-GB drives: 1 TB
Disk mirroring with striping. Data is striped across two disks and mirrored to Disks 3 and 4. This provides good performance with good data protection.
Number of Disks: 2 Net Capacity using 500-GB drives: 500 GB
Disk mirroring, meaning that all data on one disk is duplicated on another disk. This is a high availability RAID 1 solution, but only half the total disk space is usable.
Number of Disks: 2 Net Capacity using 500-GB drives: 1 TB
Striping of data across multiple drives in an array. This provides high performance, but no data protection.

Open your web browser and type in the default address of http://192.168.0.101.
Logging in to the System RAID 5 with Spare (optional)
Use the Storage System Console to log in to the system. Enter “admin” for the user name and “storage” for the password.
Reconfiguring disks Select “Disks” from the left-hand menu. Then enter the admin password in the “Administrator password” field and select “Reconfigure Disks”.
