Setup Instructions
Follow the steps below to successfully set up your Cavalry Network Attached
Storage (NAS) with your computer.
Step 1. For optimal security and convenience, we recommend designating a
single computer to handle all NAS configuration settings.
Step 2. Start your computer and wait for Windows/Mac OS/Linux to load
completely.
Step 3. Connect the power adapter to the drive. Then plug the power
adapter into an electrical outlet. Turn on the power switch; the "Power" LED
will light up to indicate proper operation.

Step 4. Insert the Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the back of the CAND
and the other end to an Ethernet port on the network adapter of a router /
switch / hub. The "Link" LED will illuminate to indicate proper connection.
Step 5. It will take about 2 minutes to boot up the unit. During this time, the
"Link" LED will be blinking. Once the unit is booted up, you may proceed to
"Basic NAS Setup" on the next page.
NOTE: To shut down the unit, make sure all current downloads and transfers
are stopped before turning off the power switch. The unit will shut down after
1 minute. If the system will be off for an extended period of time, remember
to also remove the power adapter from the electrical outlet.
NOTE: To create a printer server, simply connect the printer via USB directly
to the NAS. The CAND can also host other devices.
