16 NAS 1500s Installation Guide
Managing the NAS 1500s
The NAS 1500s is configured at the factory with default system
settings and with the NAS operating system installed. Refer to the
“Storage management overview” section later in this chapter for
more information.
The NAS administrator uses Windows Disk Manager (DM) to
manage the logical storage.

NAS 1500s Installation Guide 17
Product redundancy
The NAS 1500s is specifically designed to perform file serving
tasks for networks, using industry standard components to ensure
reliability.
Other industry standard features, such as redundant array of
independent drives (RAID) implemented in the hardware and
remote manageability further enhance the overall dependability
of the NAS 1500s.
To ensure redundancy and reliability, the hard drives installed in
the NAS 1500s are configured so that a single drive failure will
not cause data loss or system failure. The NAS 1500s is
configured with dual boot capability. When powered on, the NAS
1500s can boot using a primary OS or a secondary recovery OS.
The primary OS logical drive resides on disk 0 and is mirrored on
disk 1 while the secondary OS logical drive resides on disk 2 and
is mirrored on disk 3. If a single disk failure occurs, the system
will still function off the mirrored disk. If the primary OS
becomes corrupted and un-bootable, the secondary OS is
available for data backup prior to using the Quick Restore DVD
to restore the system to the factory default state.
The data volume is configured as a hardware RAID 5 based basic
partition across all four drives. This ensures redundancy in the
event of a drive failure. The data volume is accessible by both the
primary OS and secondary OS.
Refer to the administration guide for additional information.

18 NAS 1500s Installation Guide
Dependencies and requirements
Specific conditions must be met in order for the NAS 1500s to
operate.
Storage requirements
To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, configure
storage with fault tolerance in mind. HP recommends adhering to
RAID 5 configurations.
IP networking and setup requirements
The following are IP networking and setup requirements needed
for a NAS 1500s device:
■Windows-based PC running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
(or later) on the same network segment as the NAS 1500s;
this will be used to set up and administer the NAS device.
■Additional Ethernet connection ports to client subnets
(depending on network options ordered).
Deploying the NAS 1500s on the network
The default shipping configuration contains two 10/100/1000
integrated network interface controller (NIC) ports for client data
access. These data ports also allow access to the WebUI that
accompanies the product. Most management and administrative
procedures can be accomplished via the WebUI.
