1 Pre-Installation Planning
Equipment Required for Installation
To connect, install and administer your MaxAttach NAS 4100, 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 MaxAttach NAS 4100, 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 MaxAttach NAS 4100 installation.
Table 1-1. Size & Weight
ItemQuantity
Weight27 pounds (12.3 kg)
Size17 x 20 x 1.75 (43.2 x 50.8 x 4.5 cm)
CAUTION: When placing your MaxAttach in rack mount mode, make sure you
maintain proper mechanical load leveling to avoid a hazardous condition.

Familiarizing Yourself with Your MaxAttach NAS 4100
Front Panel
The MaxAttach 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 MaxAttach Users Guide for fault
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 MaxAttach NAS 4100
Connect MaxAttach to Your Network
To connect the MaxAttach NAS 4100 to your network, insert one of the included Ethernet cables into
either MaxAttach 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 MaxAttach 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 MaxAttach 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 MaxAttach 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 MaxAttach is ready to configure.
Installing MaxNeighborhood Software
Use a workstation that is logged onto the network where the MaxAttach unit is connected. Insert the
MaxAttach Installation and Documentation CD into your CD-ROM drive. If the “Welcome to the
MaxAttach NAS 4100” 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 MaxNeighborhood Setup & Discovery Wizard to begin your installation.
MaxNeighborhood Wizard
When the Install MaxAttach Family screen
appears, click the Install MaxNeighborhood
button. The wizard will guide you through the
installation process.
If you have an older version of
MaxNeighborhood on your server, you will be
notified and asked if you want to un-install the
older version, before your newer version is
installed.
Installing the MaxAttach NAS 41005
Maxtor MaxAttach NAS 4100
Completing MaxNeighborhood Installation
When the Install wizard has completed, you may view the README file by selecting the check box. Or,
you may launch MaxNeighborhood by clicking on the check box and then selecting Finish. You may exit
the wizard without selecting either option by selecting Finish.
Alternately, you may click on Finish to close the wizard, and then launch MaxNeighborhood from your
Windows workstation by selecting Start, Programs, MaxNeighborhood.

Finding Your New MaxAttach
Once MaxNeighborhood finds all of the MaxAttach units on your network, it will display computer Name,
Status, IP Address and Workgroup.
If you have MaxAttach 3000 or 4000 models on your network, they will be displayed as well, and you may
continue to administer those units through this MaxNeighborhood session.
If a DHCP server is running in your network, launch the MaxAttach configuration screens by
double-clicking on the default name of your newly installed MaxAttach 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 MaxAttach is attached to a network without a DHCP server, your MaxAttach 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 MaxAttach with a single mouse click and then select
the Change Settings button. You will receive a warning message about making changes - click OK.

Should you wish to change the default computer name MaxAttach 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 MaxAttach will now
automatically reboot.
End this procedure by selecting the Close
button.
After your MaxAttach has rebooted, press the
Refresh button in the main
MaxNeighborhood 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 MaxAttach in the
MaxNeighborhood window to launch the
configuration screens on your newly enabled
MaxAttach.
