NAS 1500s Installation Guide 15
Managing the NAS 1500s
The NAS 1500s is configured at the factory with default system
settings and with the NAS operating system installed. Refer to the
“Storage management overview” section later in this chapter for
more information.
The NAS administrator uses Windows Disk Manager (DM) to
manage the logical storage.

Figure 1: NAS 1500s device
16 NAS 1500s Installation Guide
Product redundancy
The NAS 1500s is specifically designed to perform file serving
tasks for networks, using industry standard components to ensure
reliability.
Other industry standard features, such as redundant array of
independent drives (RAID) implemented in the hardware and
remote manageability further enhance the overall dependability
of the NAS 1500s.
To ensure redundancy and reliability, the hard drives installed in
the NAS 1500s are configured so that a single drive failure will
not cause data loss or system failure. The NAS 1500s is
configured with dual boot capability. When powered on, the NAS
1500s can boot using a primary OS or a secondary recovery OS.
The primary OS logical drive resides on disk 0 and is mirrored on
disk 1 while the secondary OS logical drive resides on disk 2 and
is mirrored on disk 3. If a single disk failure occurs, the system
will still function off the mirrored disk. If the primary OS
becomes corrupted and un-bootable, the secondary OS is
available for data backup prior to using the Quick Restore DVD
to restore the system to the factory default state.
The data volume is configured as a hardware RAID 5 based basic
partition across all four drives. This ensures redundancy in the
event of a drive failure. The data volume is accessible by both the
primary OS and secondary OS.
Refer to the administration guide for additional information.
NAS 1500s Installation Guide 17
Dependencies and requirements
Specific conditions must be met in order for the NAS 1500s to
operate.
Storage requirements
To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, configure
storage with fault tolerance in mind. HP recommends adhering to
RAID 5 configurations.
IP networking and setup requirements
The following are IP networking and setup requirements needed
for a NAS 1500s device:
■ Windows-based PC running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
(or later) on the same network segment as the NAS 1500s;
this will be used to set up and administer the NAS device.
■ Additional Ethernet connection ports to client subnets
(depending on network options ordered).
Deploying the NAS 1500s on the network
The default shipping configuration contains two 10/100/1000
integrated network interface controller (NIC) ports for client data
access. These data ports also allow access to the WebUI that
accompanies the product. Most management and administrative
procedures can be accomplished via the WebUI.

20 NAS 1500s Installation Guide
Setup and configuration overview
Setting up systems is a well-defined process. This section is
intended as an overview of the process, not a detailed list of
step-by-step instructions. Step-by-step procedures are
documented in the administration guide. Some of the steps are
driven by wizards within the WebUI. In either type of setup, it is
important to read all of the supplied documentation before
starting. Relevant documents include:
■ HP StorageWorks NAS 1500s Administration Guide
■ HP StorageWorks NAS 1500s Rack Installation Instructions
■ HP StorageWorks NAS 1500s Release Notes (if required, this
document will be available at
Configuring the NAS 1500s
The following steps describe how to configure the NAS 1500s.
1. Configure the NAS device using Chapter 2 of this guide.
2. This is a recommended step. Place the NAS device into an
Active Directory or Windows NT
manageability.
3. This is an optional step. Enable protocols such as NFS
sharing, NCP, and/or AppleTalk. See the administration guide
for this procedure in detail.
4. This is an optional step. Create shares corresponding to the
protocols mentioned in the previous steps. Grant access rights
to the shares.

NAS 1500s Installation Guide 21
Storage management overview
This section provides an overview of the components that make
up the NAS storage structure. A complete discussion of the
components and their relationships is available in the
administration guide.
Caution: This section on storage management and Disk
Manager is required reading material for the NAS
administrator. This section develops the concepts and
requirements that serve as the basis for successfully using an
HP StorageWorks NAS device. Failure to read this section
and the appropriate sections on storage management in the
administration guide may lead to data loss or file corruption.
Storage management elements
Storage is divided into three major divisions:
■ Physical storage elements
■ Logical storage elements
■ File system elements
■ File sharing elements
Each of these elements is composed of the previous level’s
elements.
22 NAS 1500s Installation Guide
Physical storage elements
The lowest level of storage management on the NAS 1500s
occurs at the physical drive level. Each NAS 1500s comes with
four SATA hot-pluggable hard drives. The drives are configured
by default into three logical disks at the SATA controller level as
follows:

Note: In Adaptec Storage Manager, logical disks are labeled 1, 2,
and 3. In Disk Manager, logical disks are displayed as 0, 1, and 2.
NAS 1500s Installation Guide 23
Logical storage elements
The NAS 1500s uses the Microsoft Disk Manager (DM) for
managing the various types of disk presented to the file system.
Disk Manager has two types of disk presentations: basic disk and
dynamic disk. Each of these types of disk has special features that
enable different types of management. The NAS 1500s uses all 3
disks as presented to it from the physical storage layer. The two
RAID 1 disks are used for housing the primary and secondary OS
basic partitions. The single RAID 5 disk houses the data volume
on a basic partition.
File system elements
File system elements are composed of the folders and subfolders
that are created under each logical storage element (partitions,
logical disks, and volumes). Folders are used to further subdivide
the available file system providing another level of granularity for
management of the information space. Each of these folders can
contain separate permissions and share names that can be used for
network access. Folders can be created for individual users,
groups, projects, and so on. Refer to the administration guide for
more details on file system elements.
File-sharing elements
The NAS 1500s supports several file-sharing protocols, including
DFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, and Microsoft SMB. On each folder or
logical storage element, different file-sharing protocols can be

Disk partitioning, RAID configuration, and failover
The four hard drives included in the 1500s are configured for
hardware RAID fault tolerance using the Adaptec 2410SA SATA
RAID Controller.
■ The Primary OS Logical Drive is configured as a 9GB RAID
1 mirror spanning drives 0 and 1.
■ The Secondary OS Logical Drive is configured as a 9GB
RAID 1 mirror spanning drives 2 and 3.
The Data volume is configured as a RAID 5 volume spanning the
remaining space across all four drives. The BIOS supports a boot
failover mechanism that will allow the system to automatically
boot to the next drive if a failure occurs on the previously booted
hard drive.

Under normal circumstances, the NAS 1500s boots up from the
Primary OS Logical Drive. If the system experiences a drive
failure, the Adaptec 2410SA will begin an audible alert to inform
the user of a drive failure. If a single drive failure occurs, it will be
transparent to the OS. If a second drive fails, the Data volume will
be lost and will need to be restored from backup. When the
Primary OS has a failure such as system files becoming
corrupted, registry corrupted and the system hangs during boot,
the 1500s will failover to the Secondary OS. The system can be
run from the Secondary OS, however, the user should backup
their user data and then use the Quick Restore DVD to restore the
system to the factory default state as soon as conveniently
possible. The number of boot attempts on the Primary OS can be
manually configured in the BIOS. It is recommended that the
timeout value be set to 5 minutes or greater.

Regulatory
Compliance Notices
A
Federal Communications Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules
and Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission
limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum.
Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF
energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore,
covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related
peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon
their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may
reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or
commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may
reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential
environment (personal computers, for example). The FCC
requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the
interference potential of the device as well as additional operating
instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the
equipment falls into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC
ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC
ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer
to the following corresponding statement.

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at personal expense.
Class B equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

Electrostatic
Discharge
To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you
need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A
discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor
may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This
type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following
precautions:
■ Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in
static-safe containers.
■ Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they
arrive at static-free workstations.
■ Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from
their containers.
■ Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
■ Always be properly grounded when touching a
static-sensitive component or assembly.
B
49NAS 1500s Installation Guide
Grounding methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the
following methods when handling or installing
electrostatic-sensitive parts:
■ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded
workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible
straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance
in the ground cords. To provide proper grounding, wear the
strap snug against the skin.
■ Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing
workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on
conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
■ Use conductive field service tools.
■ Use a portable field service kit with a folding
static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper
grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.
