About This Guide
Who Should Use This Guide
This DataSafe NAS User’s Manual is intended to help
setup, configure, and maintain DataSafe NAS. It
assumes that you are somewhat familiar with
networking and system administration basics.
Overview
Your DataSafe NAS comes ready to install with all the
required software. It works in a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
network (or Gigabit Ethernet network when so
equipped), and is administered using an Internet
Explorer web browser. It includes DataSafe Wizard,
Iomega’ssoftwareutilitythathelpsyoulocatetheunit
on your network, configure DataSafe NAS network
settings, and launch the web user interface.
Equipment Required for Administration
Toconnect, install and administeryourDataSafeNAS,
you will need an available 10/100 Ethernet network
hub or switch. It will also be necessary for your
workstation to have the following capabilities:
nWindows 95/98/Me/NT (SP5)/2000
nInternet Explorer v4.01 SP1 or newer - support for
Netscape is not currently available.
nClientforMicrosoft Networks enabled overTCP/IP.
nNetwork Interface Card (NIC)
nCD-ROM Drive

Placement Requirements
When placing your DataSafe NAS, you will want to
consider requirements for power and network
availability, as well as a space with well regulated
temperature and humidity that is relatively free of
dust and other air-born contaminants.
The following tables are designed to help you plan
your DataSafe NAS installation.
CAUTION: When placing your DataSafe NAS in
rack mount mode, make sure you
maintain proper mechanical load
leveling to avoid a hazardous
condition.
WARNING: Make sure your site has the necessary
capacity to handle your DataSafe NAS
unit(s). Overloading electrical supply
circuits is extremely hazardous. Care
should also be taken to properly
ground all rack mounted equipment.

CAUTION: When mounting your DataSafe NAS in
a rack system, make sure that the air
vents do not become blocked. Also,
care must be taken to insure that
DataSafe NAS is installed in an
enviroment compatible with the
ambient temperatures stated in the
table above (maximum of 40ºC).
Server Placement
If you install your DataSafe NAS into a rack, use the
enclosed rack mount ears and screws for secure
mounting. If your installation calls for placement on a
table top, apply the enclosed rubber feet to the
bottom of the chassis.

1 Getting Started
The DataSafe NAS Network Attached Storage (NAS) is
a Microsoft® Windows® Powered server appliance
that attaches directly to the computer network. The
DataSafe NAS is optimized to perform a single
function:providestoragetoothercomputersattached
to the network. A potentially headless device with no
monitor or input devices (keyboard and mouse, for
example) of its own, the DataSafe NAS is managed
and monitored via a Web user interface (UI), and can
bemanagedremotelyfromaclientcomputer attached
tothenetwork.BecausetheDataSafeNASisbasedon
the same code as Microsoft Windows® 2000, any
remote management methods available on the
Windows 2000 platform can also be used to manage
this unit.
The DataSafe NAS requires the NTFS file system. If file
allocation table (FAT) partitions are configured on the
DataSafe NAS, aspects of the UI will not perform
properly, including but not limited to:
nFolders and Shares
nDisks and Volumes

Administration UI
At the top of the DataSafe NAS Administration UI are
the status area and the primary and secondary menu
bars. The body of each page of the DataSafe NAS
Administration UI is the content area.
Following is a description of these sections:
Status Area
The top band of the window, the status area (Figure 1)
displays (from left to right):
nDataSafe NAS logo

nNormal (green text)
nInformational (grey text)
nWarning (yellow text)
nCritical (red text)
Click on Status: <status type> to get detailed
information about the status of the DataSafe NAS. For
more information, see “Status Alerts” on page 161.
Menu Bars
Immediately below the status area is the primary
menu bar, which lists the available DataSafe NAS

tasks by type. The secondary menu bar lists subtasks
that users can perform for each task group identified
in the primary menu bar. The secondary menu bar is
dynamic, and the available task types change
depending upon the task group selected.
Figure 2 Primary and secondary menu bars
Roll-over text for items in the menu bar provides even
more information. Move the mouse cursor over the
object to display the rollover text.
Content Area
Page information is displayed in the content area,
located below the menu bars. Text in this section of
the DataSafe NAS Administration UI describes the
management activities you can perform on that page.
This text may also provide instructions about how to
accomplish the available tasks.
Many of the task pages include an Object Selection
table. The Object Selection table is simply a table
listing the objects you can manage or configure, their
descriptions, and the tasks you can perform. The
column on the far left of the Object Selection table
contains a radio button you click to select a given
object. The right-most column lists the tasks you can
perform.
To navigate through the DataSafe NAS
Administration UI
1. On the primary menu bar, click the general type of
task you want to perform.
2. On the secondary menu bar or in the list of tasks,
click the specific type of task you want to perform.

3. In the content area:
a. If an Object Selection table is available, se-
lect the object you want to manage or config-
ure by clicking the radio button to the left of
the object name. Then select the task you
want to perform from the Taskslist on the
right.
b. If an Object Selection table is not available,
enter the data in the fields indicated to accom-
plish the chosen task.
When you are finished with each task, you must click
OK to confirm your changes, or Cancel to retain the
previous settings. Once the change or cancellation
has processed, the previous page will display.
If you are on a property page and click another tab, a
pop-up window displays with the message “Click OK
to discard any changes.” This gives you the chance to
either commit to or reject the changes before moving
to the next selected page.
