About This Guide
Who Should Use This Guide
This DataSafe NAS User’s Manual is intended to help
setup, configure, and maintain DataSafe NAS. It
assumes that you are somewhat familiar with
networking and system administration basics.
Overview
Your DataSafe NAS comes ready to install with all the
required software. It works in a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
network (or Gigabit Ethernet network when so
equipped), and is administered using an Internet
Explorer web browser. It includes DataSafe Wizard,
Iomega’s software utility that helps you locate the unit
on your network, configure DataSafe NAS network
settings, and launch the web user interface.
Equipment Required for Administration
To connect, install and administer your DataSafe NAS,
you will need an available 10/100 Ethernet network
hub or switch. It will also be necessary for your
workstation to have the following capabilities:

DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 7
1 Getting Started
The DataSafe NAS Network Attached Storage (NAS) is
a Microsoft® Windows® Powered server appliance
that attaches directly to the computer network. The
DataSafe NAS is optimized to perform a single
function: provide storage to other computers attached
to the network. A potentially headless device with no
monitor or input devices (keyboard and mouse, for
example) of its own, the DataSafe NAS is managed
and monitored via a Web user interface (UI), and can
be managed remotely from a client computer attached
to the network. Because the DataSafe NAS is based on
the same code as Microsoft Windows® 2000, any
remote management methods available on the
Windows 2000 platform can also be used to manage
this unit.
The DataSafe NAS requires the NTFS file system. If file
allocation table (FAT) partitions are configured on the
DataSafe NAS, aspects of the UI will not perform
properly, including but not limited to:
n Folders and Shares
n Disks and Volumes
Chapter Sections
This chapter contains the following sections:
n “Navigation of the DataSafe NAS Administration
UI" —which describes the Web user interface (Web
UI) of your DataSafe NAS
n “Initial DataSafe NAS Configuration"—which
references the steps for configuring your DataSafe
NAS before first use
n “Using Help"—How to use the help system

DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 16
Identification
The DataSafe NAS must be given a name. Clients use
this name to access the file shares that reside on the
unit.
The DataSafe NAS can be configured as a member of
one of the following:
n A Microsoft NT 4 domain
n A Microsoft Active Directory domain
n A Workgroup.
If no workgroups exist on the network (for example, if this is a Unix environment), this option
should be selected and any arbitrary name used.
User accounts may also be created locally on the
DataSafe NAS; however, using a domain or directory
eliminates the need to create local user accounts for
every user of the DataSafe NAS.
A good practice after joining a domain is to add one or
more domain users to the local administrators group,
then login under those user names to administer the
DataSafe NAS.
To set the name and domain membership of
the DataSafe NAS
1. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup.
2. On the Network Setup page, click Identification.
The Server Appliance Identity page (Figure 4)
displays.
DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 17
Figure 4 Server Appliance Identity page
3. In the text boxes provided, enter the appropriate
Server appliance name (DataSafe NAS name)
and domain-name system (DNS) suffix.
4. The DNS suffix is appended to the host name to
create the fully-qualified machine name.
5. Specify whether the client computer will be part of
a Workgroup or a Domain.
6. If the machine will be part of a domain, enter the
User name and Password of the person who has
permission to add client computers to the domain.
CAUTION: Enter the user name as
domainname\username and the
password as domainname\password.
7. Click OK to save your changes.
8. When prompted to reboot the DataSafe NAS, you
may either accept or cancel the reboot.
DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 18

Server Appliance Name
The server appliance name is the name of the
DataSafe NAS on a network. The appliance name must
be unique and must meet certain requirements. The
new server appliance name cannot be the same as
another computer, or the name of a Microsoft
Windows domain.
It is recommended that you use names that are 15
characters or fewer. The server appliance name can be
up to 63 characters long but should only contain the
numbers 0-9, the uppercase letters A-Z and the
lowercase a-z, and hyphens. You may use other
characters, but doing so may prevent other users from
finding your computer on the network. If your network
is using the Microsoft DNS server, you can use any
DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 19
characters except periods. If other networking
protocols are installed without TCP/IP, the server
appliance name is limited to 15 characters.
If you specify a server appliance name longer than 15
characters and you want longer names to be
recognized by the Microsoft Active Directory domain,
the domain administrator must enable registration of
DNS names that are 16 bytes or longer.
DNS Name Resolution
When DNS name resolution begins, the DNS resolver
first checks what type of name was submitted.
Three types of DNS names can be submitted:
n Fully qualified domain names (FQDN) —
These names are terminated with a period. For
example:
host.reskit.com.
n Single-label, unqualified domain names —
These names contain no periods. For example:
host
n Multiple-label, unqualified domain names
— These names contain one or more periods but
are not terminated with a period. For example:
host.reskit.com
- Or host.reskit
When a user enters an FQDN, the resolver queries DNS
using that name. Likewise, when a user enters a
multiple-label, unqualified name, the DNS resolver
DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 20
adds a terminating period and then queries DNS using
that name.
However, if you enter a single-label, unqualified
name, or a multiple-label, unqualified name, and the
name fails to resolve as an FQDN, the resolver
systematically appends different DNS suffixes to the
name that you entered, adding periods to make them
FQDNs. The resolver then resubmits the name to DNS.
If you have not entered a domain suffix search list, the
DNS resolver appends the following names:
1. The primary DNS suffix.
2. If the DNS suffix does not successfully resolve
after you enter the DNS name, the resolver
appends each connection-specific DNS suffix.
This suffix can be dynamically assigned by the
DHCP server. You can also specify suffixes on the
DNS tab in the Global Network Settings.
From the primary menu bar, select Network
Setup, then click Global Network Settings.
If DNS name resolution is still unsuccessful, the DNS
resolver devolves the FQDN by appending the parent
suffix of the primary DNS suffix name, and the parent
of that suffix, and so on, until only two labels are left
On the other hand, if you have entered a list of specific
DNS suffixes, both the primary DNS suffix and the
connection-specific domain name are ignored. In such
a case, neither is appended to the host name before
the FQDN are submitted to DNS. Instead, the resolver
appends each suffix from the search list in order, and
then submits the name to the DNS server until the
resolver finds a match or reaches the end of the list.
For example, if you enter the name client, and the
primary DNS suffix is eu.reskit.com, the resolver will
first try client.eu.reskit.com, and then
client.reskit.com.
DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 21
DNS Suffixes
Domain-name system (DNS) suffixes have two primary
purposes:
1. When appended to the server appliance host
name, (DataSafe NAS name) DNS suffixes
comprise the fully-qualified server appliance
name.
2. DNS suffixes are used to resolve IP addresses. If
your DataSafe NAS is a member of a Microsoft
Windows NT 4 domain, a Microsoft Active
Directory, or a workgroup, the DNS suffix is
dependent upon the domain environment.
The default setting for the local primary DNS suffix is
the same as the Active Directory domain name.
Changing the DNS suffix will not affect your domain
membership, but it can prevent other users from
locating your DataSafe NAS on the network. If you
rename the primary DNS suffix to something other
than the Active Directory domain name, the domain
administrator must enable registration of the new full
computer name in the Active Directory domain.
DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 22
If you switch to a new Active Directory and select
Change primary DNS suffix when domain
membership changes, the DNS suffix is updated to
match the new Active Directory domain that you are
joining. For example, suppose your current DNS suffix
is MyMachine, and you join a new Active Directory
domain called example.microsoft.com. The new DNS
suffix, (example.microsoft.com), is displayed under
the Primary DNS suffix of this computer, replacing the
DNS suffix (MyMachine) previously created for
membership under the old domain.
If your computer belongs to a group with a group
policy enabled on the primary DNS suffix of the
DataSafe NAS, the string specified in the group policy
is used as the primary DNS suffix. The local setting is
used only if a group policy is disabled or unspecified.
Including hyphens and periods, a DNS suffix may
contain up to 155 characters.

Workgroup
A workgroup is a simple grouping of computers,
intended only to help users find such things as
printers and shared folders within that group.
Workgroups in Microsoft Windows 2000 do not offer
the centralized user accounts and authentication
offered by domains.
n A workgroup name must not duplicate the
computer name. A workgroup name can have as
many as 15 characters, but cannot contain any of
the following characters: ; : " < > * + = \ | ? ,
DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 23
To set or change the workgroup membership
of the DataSafe NAS
1. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup.
2. On the Network Setup page, click Identification.
The Server Appliance Identity page (Figure 5) dis-
plays.
Figure 5 Server Appliance Identity
3. Select the Workgroup radio button and enter
the name of the workgroup to join.
4. If the DataSafe NAS belonged to a domain before
you joined the workgroup, the DataSafe NAS will
be disjoined from the domain and the computer
account will be disabled.
5. Click OK.
6. You will be asked to reboot the DataSafe NAS. You
may accept the reboot, or cancel it.
n If you click OK, the DataSafe NAS will reboot and
a page will appear indicating that the unit is
restarting. After the DataSafe NAS is back online,
you must reinitiate your browser, then return to
DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 24
the Home Page of the Web UI to see your
changes in effect.
n If you click Cancel, the changes to the server
appliance (DataSafe NAS) identity will not take
effect until the next reboot.
Domain
In Microsoft Windows NT 4 and Microsoft Active
Directory environments, a domain is a collection of
computers defined by the administrator of a network
that share a common directory database.
A domain has a unique name and provides access to
the centralized user accounts and group accounts
maintained by the domain administrator. Each
domain has its own security policies and security
relationships with other domains, and each domain
represents a single security boundary of a Windows
computer network. Active Directory is made up of one
or more domains, each of which can span more than
one physical location.
For DNS, a domain is any tree or subtree within the
DNS namespace. Although the names for DNS
domains often correspond to Active Directory
domains, DNS domains should not be confused with
Microsoft Windows and Active Directory networking
domains.
CAUTION: When setting the name and domain
membership of the DataSafe NAS and
specifying the user with permission to
join domain, you must enter the user
name as domainname\username and
the password as
domainname\password.
