Connecting the Ethernet Port

The OMNINAS must be congured and setup before use. Two connection methods are support­ed:
• Switch/router to OMNINAS
• Direct PC/laptop to OMNINAS
Connect to a Switch or Router
1. Connect one end of the provided LAN cable to the LAN port on the OMNINAS.
2. Connect the other end to a LAN port on the DHCP enabled router, see following gure.

Congure your PC to these settings: 169.254.XX.X (Whereas XX represents a number
from 1 to 254, and X represents a number from 1 to 254 other than 200).

1. Connect the power jack to the back of the OMNINAS (DC IN).
2. Connect one end of the power cable to the supplied power adapter, and the other end to a
wall outlet. See the following gure.
English
Note:
The Power Adapter diagram depicts a typical wall socket. Your region may use a different socket type.
Your OMNINAS is ready to be powered on. See Powering On.
CAUTION:
Do not use inferior extension cords as this may result in damage to your OMNINAS. The
OMNINAS comes with its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the OMNINAS and other electrical devices.
Note:
The power adapter may become warm to hot when in use. Be sure not to cover the adapter and keep it away from your body.

Pressing Power Button
A blinking LED species that the system is in the powering-on state. A solid LED species that
the OMNINAS has obtained an IP address from the router (DHCP connection). See LED Deni­tions for further information.
In the event of a Red Blinking LED state, the system has failed to obtain an IP address from the
router. The system settings reverts to the default xed IP address (169.254.100.200).

Mapping Network Drives

You can create a shortcut (map) to an OMNINAS folder as a network drive on Windows work­group networks. Once it is mapped (shortcut), you can access it from your computer or Windows Explorer.
There are two methods to create a short cut, mapping all the available drives at once or map­ping selected individual drives. Before you can map a drive, the OMNINAS device must be con-
gured and initialized. See System Initializing.

RAID Types

RAID Types Dened
moDe DescrIptIon
Single A single hard drive is used. All data is lost in the event of a hard drive failure.
RAID functionality is not available in JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) mode. Data is written sequentially on the designated disks. Both hard drives are combined to form a single larger disk.
JBOD
Note:
If you are using two identical HDDs, it is recommended to use RAID 0.
Both hard drives are combined and the available capacity of each disk is added into a single logical volume. Redundancy or parity is not available. RAID0 offers the best perfor­mance, however, there is no disk failure protection.
RAID 0
IMPORTANT:
If a single disk in RAID 0 fails, the data in both disks is inaccessible due to the RAID 0 cross-disk writing function.
English
Dual hard drives are required. RAID 1 is a secure mode, providing mirroring functionality. The data is duplicated between both HDDs, and, in the event of a single disk failure, the
RAID 1
data is available in the healthy disk. RAID 1 is recommended for disk failure protection. However, available disk space is reduced by 50% due to the mirroring function.
Only RAID 1 supports hot-swap functionality. All other modes require you to power down the device before removal of hard drives.
IMPORTANT:
Changing RAID types erases all data stored on your storage disks. If there is saved data on the drive(s), backup your data before proceeding.
IMPORTANT:
Only RAID 1 supports hot-swap functionality. All other modes require you to power down the device before removal of hard drives.
The Disk Manager function displays model, capacity and status of the available hard drives. You can view the health status, remove, check, format, and unmount a disk drive.
Creating a RAID Mode
IMPORTANT:
Changing RAID types erases all data stored on your storage disks.If there is saved data on the drive(s), backup your data before proceeding.
In a Single Disk Volume, a second drive is not supported. After creating a Single Disk Vol­ume, you must power off the system before installing a second hard drive.
CAUTION:
Installing a second hard drive in a Single Disk Volume while the system is powered on is not recommended.

Disk Mangement

Disk removal is simple and easy. To accommodate the varying RAID types, hot swap and non­hot swap disk removal is designed into the OMNINAS.
Replacing a Hot-swap Drive
You can replace a hot-swap drive (RAID 1 mode only) by using the hot-swap button found on the front panel or through the Disk Manager menu on the OMNINAS interface.
IMPORTANT:
The formatting process deletes any data on the disk. Make sure you backup your data be­fore proceeding. Do not power off or reboot the system to prevent damage.
To replace a drive using the Hot-swap button:
1. On the bay cover (front panel), press in the indicator to open the cover. The cover pops open.
2. Extend the cover to allow access to the HDD trays.

Auto Mirroring

By using RAID 1, you can duplicate data between two hard drives. A minimum of two HDDs are required for auto mirroring (RAID 1). The Auto Mirror function allows you to enable or disable the Auto Mirror function available for RAID 1 mode.
A second hard drive must be installed to enable the auto mirroring function. See Disk Mange- ment.
Note:
Auto mirroring is only available for RAID 1 mode. Depending on the formatted capacity of RAID 1, the rebuilding of your second drive for mirroring may take several hours. Do not turn off the power or interrupt the system during this process to prevent damage to the system or your hard drives.
The auto mirroring setup will erase the hard drives data. Make sure you backup all data before starting this process.
