All-in-one NAS Server with iSCSI
for SMB and SOHO Users
Overview
QNAP TS-419U Turbo NAS is the 4-bay, 1U chassis multi-functional network attached
storage (NAS) server designed for small and mid-sized business who is looking an
affordable and low-powered network storage solution. The TS-419U can be easily installed
and maintained in the server room. It is an ideal solution for mass data backup,
management and sharing. Moreover, the NAS supports excellent hardware design,
outstanding performance, high system reliability and expandability, and numerous powerful
software applications. It is undeniably the top-notch model in the 4-bay 1U chassis NAS
market.
The TS-419U adopts Marvell 1.2GHz CPU and 512MB DDRII memory. It supports 4
2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hot-swappable SATA hard drives, 2 Gigabit LAN ports for multi-IP
settings and port trunking (7 bonding modes) modes. The NAS is equipped with 4 USB
ports and 2 eSATA ports for storage expansion or external data backup.
The TS-419U supports RAID 0/ 1/ 5/ 6/ 5+spare, single and JBOD disk configurations. The
unique Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Online RAID Level Migration allow the users
to expand the storage capacity of the RAID configuration and upgrade the RAID level
ALL-in-One Server Features
without turning off the server respectively. The RAID recovery feature secures the server
data against accidental removal of the hard drives.
In addition, the TS-419U supports NAS and iSCSI applications to provide a low-cost, highly
flexible and efficient IP SAN solution for SMB users. Up to 8 iSCSI targets can be created
on the NAS for storage expansion of the PC or other servers and backup destination of the
database servers and mail servers, etc. The TS-419U is featured with virtual disk drive
(VDD) by built-in iSCSI initiator that other iSCSI devices on the network can be added to
expand the storage capacity of the NAS.
Moreover, the TS-419U can be accessed across Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX. The
NAS supports EXT3 and EXT4 file systems, and numerous management tools, e.g.
Windows Active Directory (AD), real-time system monitoring, detailed event logs, Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), instant SMS alert, schedule power on/ off
management. The users can make use of all these powerful features to manage the NAS
efficiently.
iSCSI Target
With the built-in iSCSI target feature, the NAS can be an ideal solution for
30%
backup or storage expansion. The users can easily create dedicated virtual
drives on the NAS for their PCs or existing servers. The iSCSI drives on the
70%
NAS can be formatted as file system and used as local drives.
Windows AD
The Windows AD feature enables you to import user accounts from
AD domain to NAS to reduce the time and effort for account setup,
and the users can use the same set of login name and password.
Surveillance Station
The Surveillance Station enables you to configure and connect IP
cameras simultaneously and remotely manage the functions. The
Surveillance Station of QNAP NAS supports all the leading
network camera brands such as AXIS, D-Link, IPUX, LevelOne,
Linksys, Panasonic and Vivotek, etc.
File Server
The Turbo NAS allows you to create user ID and
password, and define the authority and quota for each
user.
MySQL Server
The Turbo NAS can be flexibly applied in various
deployments such as a database server of another web
server in remote site or as an additional backup
database server.
VDD (Virtual Disk Drive)
The VDD (Virtual Disk Drive) feature is supported on the
Turbo NAS that you can use the built-in iSCSI initiator to
connect to other iSCSI targets on the network to expand
the storage capacity of the NAS.
Web Server
Establish the official website
to publish information over
the Internet by the QNAP
NAS.
FTP Server
You can establish your own FTP
server by using the Turbo NAS and
share the files conveniently with your
friends or customers.
Exclusive Windows-based Backup Utility
The automatic backup software, NetBak
Replicator, is provided for you to perform
real-time synchronization or schedule backup
from multiple PCs to the Turbo NAS.

Virtual Disk Expansion
Convenient System Tools
Virtual Disk Drive (VDD) adds flexibility to storage expansion along with ease of
management
The unique "Virtual Disk Drive" adds flexibility to expand the capacity of NAS. By
using the built-in iSCSI initiator, the NAS can connect to other iSCSI targets on the
network and turn them into virtual disks, which become multiple single volumes on
the NAS. Up to 8 virtual disks can be stacked. The NAS serves as the storage stack
chaining master. The user only needs to connect to this single entry (QNAP NAS)
and is able to reach and use all the iSCSI target storages on the network.

Flexible Built-in iSCSI Target Service
For business, a high-performance and flexible storage expansion solution for the
existing application servers is required. However, DAS (Direct Attached Storage) is
not an efficient solution and a Fiber Channel SAN is too expensive and complicated
to implement.
The TS-419U can act as a NAS and iSCSI target server at the same time. It provides a
cost-efficient iSCSI solution to set up an IP-SAN. You can make use of the built-in iSCSI
target service to add up to 8 iSCSI devices. Different iSCSI Target LUNs (Logical Unit
Number) can be defined as storage expansion or backup destination of the existing
application servers, such as database servers and mail servers.

Benefits of Dual LAN Deployment
Network Failover
Failover allows the NAS to sustain the failure of one network port to provide
continuous services.
Primary Network Connection
HDD S.M.A.R.T .
(Self-monitoring Analysis and Reporting T echnology): HDD
S.M.A.R.T . of fers a quick overview of the hard drive status which
enables you to monitor the hard drives and check potential
problems. Y ou can also set the schedule for S.M.A.R.T. test (rapid
or complete) to ensure the health of the hard disks.
Advanced Hard Drive Protection (HHS): The embedded
HHS (HDD health scanning) technology supports disk checking
and bad blocks scanning which helps you discover the
abnormal issue of the hard disks to prevent disaster.
Batch Creation of Users and Network Shares: The NAS
supports batch creation of users and share folders to save your
time and effort in account and folder creation.
Instant SMS & Email Alert: You can configure the SMTP server
!
and SMSC server settings on the NAS in order to receive instant

Smart Fan: The fan rotation speed is automatically adjusted
according to the server's temperature. Y ou can also define the
system temperatures to trigger high speed or low speed rotation of
the fan. By manually setting the fan rotation speed, the fan will
rotate at the defined speed continuously.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) : Enable SNMP
service on the NAS to actively send the information, warning or
error of the NAS to max 3 SNMP trap addresses installed SNMP
management tool. Moreover, MIB of NAS can be downloaded and
imported to your PC with SNMP tool. Your PC can then acquire the
info of the NAS actively, e.g. cpu-usage, temperature.
