Fortheinstallationprocessyoumaychoosetodo“full‐system”installationor“headless”installation.
A“Full‐System”installationiswhereyouconnecttotheKSNASboxacomputermonitor(notincluded
inthepurchasedpackage)acomputerkeyboard(notincluded)andacomputermouse(notincluded).
ThefullsysteminstallationletsyouworkdirectlyontheKSNASserverutilizingitsuserfriendlywindows
desktopuserinterface(NotaMicrosoftWindows).
A“Headless”installationdoesnotrequiremonitor,keyboardandmouseconnectionandtheKSNAS
setupandcontrolisdonethroughaweb‐browserfromanothersystemusingFirefoxInternetBrowser,
