SETUP OF THE INFRANT READYNAS 1100

This document describes in detail the steps needed to setup an Infrant
ReadyNAS 1100 (for other NAS devices consult the documentation from
your NAS vendor). These instructions assume that the NAS has been
supplied with hard drives pre-installed. The RAID conguration for the
Infrant ReadyNAS 1100 is best set at X-RAID. For other manufacturers’
devices RAID 5 should be chosen to allow easy future expansion of
storage.
1. On the installation PC/laptop disable all rewalls and the proxy
server.
2. Follow the Getting Started Guide supplied with the ReadyNAS, up
to and including installing the RAIDar software. Once installed and
running, RAIDar will scan the network for the Ready NAS. If the
screen below appears, check all connections, ensure all rewalls and
the proxy server are disabled, then press ‘Rescan’.
