1 Pre-Installation Planning
Equipment Required for Installation
To connect, install and administer your DataSafe NAS, you will need an available 10/100 Ethernet
network hub or switch. It will be necessary for your workstation to have the following capabilities:
• Windows 95/98/Me/NT (SP5)/2000
• Internet Explorer v4.01 SP1 or newer - support for Netscape is not currently available.
• Client for Microsoft Networks enabled over TCP/IP.
• Network Interface Card (NIC)
• CD-ROM Drive
Site Planning
When planning a site to house your DataSafe NAS, you will want to consider requirements for power
and network availability, as well as a space with well regulated temperature and humidity that is
relatively free of dust and other air-born contaminants. If your installation calls for placement on a
table top, apply the enclosed rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis.
The following tables are designed to help you plan your DataSafe NAS installation.
Table 1-1. Size & Weight
Item Quantity
Weight 27 pounds (12.3 kg)
Size 17 x 20 x 1.75 (43.2 x 50.8 x 4.5 cm)
CAUTION: When placing your DataSafe NAS in rack mount mode, make sure you
maintain proper mechanical load leveling to avoid a hazardous condition.

Familiarizing Yourself with Your DataSafe NAS
Front Panel
The DataSafe NAS front panel has four LEDs. Three are grouped together on the right side, one on the
left. The LEDs indicate the following:
• Far left LED (soft power switch). Solid LED indicates power on. This LED will blink during
boot-up, and will also blink to indicate error conditions (See DataSafe NAS User’s Manual for
alert codes).
• Network Link 1 for LAN 1. Flashing indicates network activity.
• Network Link 2 for LAN 2. Flashing indicates network activity.
• Hard disk drive LED indicates read/write activity.

2 Installing the DataSafe NAS
Connect DataSafe NAS to Your Network
To connect the DataSafe NAS to your network, insert one of the included Ethernet cables into either
DataSafe NAS 10/100 Ethernet port (LAN1 or LAN2), located on the rear panel. Insert the other end of
this cable into network hub or switch. If your DataSafe NAS is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet
option, you may connect it to a 10/100/1000 network hub or switch, using a CAT-6 cable (not
supplied).
LAN 1
LAN 2
Figure 2-1.
NOTE: The two 10/100 Ethernet ports found on DataSafe NAS are pre-configured to provide
load balancing and fail-over capability. Although not necessary for a successful
installation, this feature does enhance system performance, and allows for
redundancy in the event of a cable or component failure.To use this function, connect
the second included Ethernet cable to your DataSafe NAS and the other end to
another open port on your network hub or switch. Load balancing and fail-over will
automatically be enabled with no special configuration required for your switch.
Turning on the Power
1 Connect one end of the enclosed power cord to a power source. Plug the other end into the power
receptacle on the back panel shown in Figure 2-1 below.

The LED in the power switch will come on. After a few moments it will begin blinking, and continue to
blink for several minutes during the power-up cycle. When the power light stops blinking and disk
activity stops, your DataSafe NAS is ready to configure.
Installing DataSafe Wizard Software
Use a workstation that is logged onto the network where the DataSafe NAS unit is connected. Insert
the DataSafe NAS Installation and Documentation CD into your CD-ROM drive. If the “Welcome to the
DataSafe NAS” screen does not appear, the auto-insert notification for the CD has been turned off. In
this case, use Windows Explorer to launch the setup program from the CD.
Click on DataSafe Wizard for Setup & Discovery to begin your installation.
DataSafe Wizard
When the Install DataSafe NAS Family
screen appears, click the Install DataSafe
Wizard button. The wizard will guide you
through the installation process.
If you have an older version of DataSafe
Wizard on your server, you will be notified
and asked if you want to un-install the older
version, before your newer version is
installed.

Finding Your New DataSafe NAS
Once DataSafe Wizard finds all of the DataSafe NAS units on your network, it will display computer
Name, Status, IP Address and Workgroup.
If a DHCP server is running in your network, launch the DataSafe NAS configuration screens by
double-clicking on the default name of your newly installed DataSafe NAS and skip to Chapter 3.
CAUTION: You are reminded that currently, there is no Netscape browser support. If
you are using Netscape as your default browser, you will have to re-set Internet
Explorer as your default browser before beginning this installation.

Modifying Default Network Settings for non-DHCP Service
If DataSafe NAS is attached to a network without a DHCP server, your DataSafe NAS will be displayed
with an IP Address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. You must now assign a unique “Static IP Address” to
your unit. See your network administrator for an available IP address before proceeding.
To set an IP address, highlight the default name of your DataSafe NAS with a single mouse click and
then select the Change Settings button. You will receive a warning message about making changes click OK. Delete the default IP Address and enter your unique address, subnet mask, and gateway (if
applicable). Should you wish to change the default computer name DataSafe NAS Server Name,
please do so now with any combination of alpha-numeric characters (without spaces).
Then change the DHCP Client setting by
clicking the down arrow and highlighting
Disabled.
Next, click Apply to make the changes
permanent.Your DataSafe NAS will now
automatically reboot.
End this procedure by selecting the Close
button.
After your DataSafe NAS has rebooted,
press the Refresh button in the main
DataSafe Wizard window. When the
search is complete, your new settings
should appear. If not, go back to the top of
this page, and begin again.
Now, double click on the DataSafe NAS in
the DataSafe Wizard window to launch the
configuration screens on your newly
enabled DataSafe NAS.

Notes for Advanced Users
Your DataSafe NAS is pre-configured in RAID5, and it is recommended that you maintain this default
configuration. However, if you prefer using a different drive configuration such JBOD or RAID 1, it is
recommended you make this change prior to beginning normal operations. If you later decide to
change the drive configuration, the drive will be reformatted and all data will be erased.
For more information on changing drive configurations, consult the DataSafe NAS User’s Manual.
System Reboot
Once you have completed your changes, you must reboot your DataSafe NAS for those changes to
take effect. In the Maintenance screen, select Shutdown.
Configuring Your DataSafe NAS 15
Page 21
Iomega DataSafe NAS
Then in the Shutdown window, select the Reboot radio button. Then select OK.
You will be prompted to confirm Reboot, select OK. Your DataSafe NAS will now reboot.
You must now close your browser session.
Once rebooted your DataSafe NAS is now ready for use. You may begin sharing files using the default
“Public” share folder located through Network Neighborhood, or create additional shares by
following the instructions in the User’s Manual. For further information on modifying or configuring
other areas of your DataSafe NAS unit, see the DataSafe NAS User’s Manual provided on the CD.
Normal Power-Down
To power-down your DataSafe NAS under normal conditions, you may use the web interface, by
selecting Maintenance on the menu bar, and then Shutdown, or you may use the soft power switch
on the front panel
After shutdown, to terminate power to all integrated components of DataSafe NAS, switch off the
main power switch on the back panel.
