Introduction
Congratulations on your new TeraStation! The TeraStation is a powerful le server that’s
as easy to use as a hard drive. With its straightforward Web Admin Tool, anyone can
easily congure the TeraStation’s settings. You don’t even necessarily need to congure it
at all; right out of the box it’s ready to be plugged in and put to work. But the TeraStation
remains a fast, reliable, Linux-based server, with multiple hard drives that may be
congured in RAID arrays. This user manual is intended to assist you in conguring your
new TeraStation.
Because we’re constantly updating our product, the images and text in this manual may
vary slightly from the images and text displayed by your TeraStation. These changes
are minor and should not affect the ease of setup adversely. As time passes, future user
interfaces, updated software, and later versions of this manual may be freely available for
download at our web site: http://www.buffalotech.com.
