Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business Smart Storage. The NSS322 is a 2-bay Network Attached Storage (NAS) device that appears as a native file server for the various clients within your network, including Microsoft 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 Smart Storage provides a single repository that is completely dedicated to storage, ensuring the integrity, reliability, and accessibility of your data for a relatively low cost.
This guide describes how to physically install your NAS and launch the Cisco Setup Wizard. If you are a new NAS user, you are strongly encouraged to use the Setup Wizard, located on the product CD.
The Setup Wizard will help you with:
•Installing the Disk Drives
•Connecting the Equipment
•Starting NAS Configuration
•Mapping a Network Drive
•Installing the Client Utility for Windows
•Installing the Client Utility for Mac
The localized language Quick Start Guide is available on the CD shipped with the product.
1 Before You Begin
Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following equipment and services:
•Internet connectivity (optional)
•Small Phillips screwdriver
•Ethernet switch or router
•1-2 SATA 2.5-inch disk drives or 3.5-inch disk drives (not included with some models). It is not required that the disk drives be the same physical size.
•Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), with a USB connection, which is able to supply power for 10 minutes or more with at least 200 watts of capacity. Strongly recommended to provide backup power and reduce the risk of system damage after power interruptions. After the initial

installation of the NAS device, see the Cisco Small Business NSS300 Series Smart Storage Administration Guide to configure the NAS to communicate with the UPS.
• Properly grounded anti-static wrist strap (recommended).

Placement Tips
•Ambient Temperature—To prevent the device from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).
•Air Flow—Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the device. Avoid any obstructions to air flow either in front of or behind the chassis.
•Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the device is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions. Do not place any other devices on top of the NAS.
•Vibration/Impacts—Be sure that the device is installed in a location where it will not be subject to vibration or impact.
4 Installing the Disk Drives
CAUTION When storing unused disk drives, do not stack multiple disk drives because this can cause drive failures.
When installing the disk drives, follow the suggestions in Cisco Electrostatic Discharge and Grounding Best Practices, located on the product CD.
Follow these steps to install disk drives in the NSS322 NAS chassis.
STEP 1 Remove the contents of the NAS package from the box. STEP 2 Place the chassis upright on a flat surface.
STEP 3 From disk bay 1, remove the disk tray.

NOTE If your device has the disk drives already installed, continue to the next section, Connecting the Equipment, page 10.
STEP 4 Position the disk drive into a disk tray. The electrical connectors of the disk drive must face toward the back of the drive tray.
STEP 5 Attach the disk drive to the tray by inserting the disk drive screws into the four holes at the bottom of the tray and tightening them with a Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE Use the screws provided in the box with the device. Using other screws can cause damage to your disk or disk tray.
There are clearly marked disk holes to accommodate the following disk drives:
•3.5-inch disk drive (use the included silver screws)
•2.5-inch disk drive (use the included black screws)
