Safety warning
Safety warning
Note
Do not place any objects within 15cm of the unit.
1
The unit reaches high temperatures creating the risk of burn injuries.
Only use compatible devices with the system ports, or the system and devices
2
risk being damaged.
3 Do not use damaged disks. Product can be damage.
Do not dismantle or change the structure of the system in any way. This may
4
cause electric shock.
When dealing with system components, strictly abide by the instruction manual.
5
Physical contact with the soldering on the backside of components may cause
severe injury.
When transporting the system, first turn off the system and disconnect the unit
6
from the power source. Sudden tension in cables can cause severe damage to
the system. Loose cables can cause injury.
Take caution when handling the system so as not to corrupt the hard disk data.
- Take caution not to bump or expose the system to extreme temperatures, as it
may damage the sensitive hard disk.
7
- Take caution when turning on the electricity, as during this time any external
bumps to the system may corrupt the hard disk data.
- The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for loss of hard disk data.
Safety warning
Related to damage to the HDD and data:
- During installation or disconnection of the system, ensure that the system
does not experience any external physical shocks.
- During the operation of the HDD, short surges and stoppages of power,
which cause the system to turn off and on quickly
- There may be a sudden stoppage of electricity during operation
- Avoid moving the system during operation of the HDD, which may cause
external physical shock
8
- During the configuration of new volumes.
i) If during use, existing volumes are deleted and new volumes are created,
data will be lost.
ii) Before configuration of new volumes, each user must back up data, as well
as when creating new volumes, to ensure the possibility of restoration.
- e.g. virus infections.
※ Always back up hard disk data to avoid accidental data loss.
In the event of the administrator forgetting the password, restoration is
impossible. Hence safeguard the password.
※ To create a new password, the system must be re-initialized. In this case, all
9
data will be lost, and data recovery will be impossible, for security reasons.
The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility in the event of this occurrence.
In the event of the cover being removed during operation, the user risks
10
electric shock, injury, and damage to the system.
Safety warning
Warning
Do not use damaged electrical cords. This may cause electric shock, and is a
1
fire hazard.
Use a grounded cord and grounded socket to avoid electric shock and damage
2
to components.
Do not handle the electrical cord with wet hands, as this may cause shock and
3
injury.
When removing the plug from the socket, ensure that the plug is handled and
4
not the cord. Otherwise this may cause damage to the plug and even fire.
Always check and use correct voltage to avoid electric shock, severe damage
5
to the system, and fire.
Always use grounded cords and grounded sockets with correct capacity
6
(voltage/current), to avoid the danger of damage, electric shock, and injury.
In the event of noise emanating from the electrical cords or sockets, to avoid fire
7
and injury immediately disconnect, and contact the service centre.
8 Ensure that electrical cords are correctly plugged into the sockets to avoid fire.
Ensure that electrical cords are not damaged or do not have heavy objects
9
placed on them. Keep electrical cords away from children and pets. Damaged
cords may cause electrical shock or fire.
Keep the power cords and sockets clean at all times to avoid fire and electrical
10
shock.
In the event of moisture entering the system, immediately disconnect the
11
power and contact the service centre, to avoid the danger of system damage,
electrical shock, and fire.
12 Do not block vents, as this will cause system damage.
Prior to cleaning the system, always disconnect the power, to avoid damage and
13
electric shock.
In the event of lighting and thunderstorms, immediately physically disconnect
14
the system from any power source, to avoid damage to the system.
Safety warning
In the event of dropping the system, contact the service centre for advice and
15
possible service. Not doing this creates a risk of damage, fire and electric
shock.
Keep the system away from direct sunlight to avoid overheating, and melting of
16
the case, which may eventuate in fire and injury.
Do not place flammable objects, candles or cigarettes on the system, as this
17
may cause fire.
In the event of a burning smell or smoke emanating from the system,
18
immediately disconnect the power, and contact the service centre.
Keep heating devices and other electrical components at a distance from the
19
system to avoid case melting, and hence the danger of damage, fire, and
electric shock.
Before disassembling the system, always ensure the physical disconnection of
20
the electrical cable from the socket.
21 Do not disassemble the power supply, to avoid the danger of electric shock.
Keep children away from the system, as consuming any parts will cause serious
22
injury. In the event of swallowing any parts, such as screws, immediately seek
medical treatment.
Ensure that multipoint power sockets are not overloaded to avoid the danger of
fire and electric shock. Ensure that cords are always neatly arranged and are
23
not trapped under the system or other heavy objects. When connecting and
disconnecting the electrical cord, take care in handling the socket to avoid the
danger of electric shock.
Ensure that there are no loose, or exposed metallic objects inside the case, to
24
avoid the danger of damage, fire and electric shock.
Ensure that hands are never used to avoid damaging the system and electric
25
shock. Always use screw drivers for work inside the system.

Follow these instructions to install the LG NAS. If the LG NAS is internal, go to <Hard
disk installation and setup>, otherwise go to <LG NAS connection>
Hard disk installation and set up
The LG NAS hard disk rack is shown below. Refer to each part while installing the
HDDs.
Components of Hard Disk Rack
Safety Lever
Hard Disk Rack
Locker Lever
Note) Hard disks of size 250GB/500GB/1TB are recommended, all of
which should be the same size and of the same company. If the disk sizes
differ, the RAID configuration will use the smallest disk as a reference to
measure all disk sizes,therefore the remainder can not be utilized and
durability decreases.

‘LG NAS Installer’ installation (LG NAS system file installation, volume and RAID configuration)
Use the included “LG NAS Installer” disc for automatic system installation and hard disk
volume configuration.
① Plug the “power cord” into an electrical outlet.
② While holding the ‘SET’ button, press the ‘POWER’ button to start the LG NAS.
③ After approximately 20 seconds the “Insert Setup Disc Please… “Message will
appear and the tray will automatically open.

. LG NAS Installation
④ Insert the “LG NAS Installer” disc and push the “DISC OPEN” button to close
the tray. The messages “Checking Disc Contents…” and ”Boot from ODD, wait
please…” indicate that the NAS is preparing to organize system files.
⑤ After 1 minute, the following two messages appear. Then press the ‘SET’ button to
select ‘S: Default Setup).
‘S’ indicates the ‘SET’ button and ‘M’ indicates the ‘MODE’ button.
If manual selection of the RAID level and volume configuration are desired, press
the MODE button to select ‘M: Custom Setup’ (User manually configures volume
and RAID). The system file will be installed and LG NAS will reboot. The volme can
then be configured using web menus. For detailed contents see <Volume>
The RAID disperses the data to multiple hard disks to guard from data loss
due to physical damage. The default volume configuration of the LG NAS
depends on the number of the installed HDDs.
The table below shows the list of the default RAID level configuration.

LG NAS connection
For a particular IP address allocated from the Network IP administrator, installation
using an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and allocated DNS information is
simple. Otherwise the LG NAS will automatically set up the network environment.
Connect devices as follows, referring to the user’s own network environment.
① Using the included LAN cables, connect LAN ports on LG NAS and network devices
(home router/router/switch/hub) to each other or directly plug them into the LAN
port on the PC.
A. If the network component (home router/router/switch/hub) is used to connect
the LG NAS (home router/router/switch/hub) to the PC, use the following
procedure.
Internet
home router/
router/switch/hub

B. If the LG NAS is connected directly to the PC without another network device,
it must be connected directly to the PC using a LAN cable,
and then the IP address must be set to 1.1.1.01 and the subnet mask to
...0.
