Installation and Setup
Before you Begin
Read the document titled Safety and Regulatory Information, packaged with your NA-1400.
Safety Precautions
• Install the NA-1400 near the socket-outlet you intend to use.
• Ensure that cables do not extend across foot traffic areas or under heavy objects.
• Install the NA-1400 on a smooth, uncarpeted surface, so that the cooling vents are not blocked.
• Install the system away from heat sources, food, and liquids.
• USB ports are for use with mass storage devices, only. These are commonly known as “USB flash
drives,” “USB sticks,” or simply “memory sticks.”
• Do not use the USB ports with devices such as cameras. To store media from cameras and similar
devices, first download the media to your computer, then store the media in the NA-1400.
• Always power down the NA-1400 before you unplug it. (Press the power switch or click Shutdown.)
• After power-down, to disconnect, unplug the power cord from the wall, then unplug it from the NA-
1400. The power cord plug is the system's power disconnection device.
• The NA-1400 has a safety fuse. If the fuse trips, return it to your vendor for repair. Do not attempt to
replace the fuse. It is not a user-replaceable part.
• The maximum ambient operating temperature of the NA-1400 is 40oC.

Points about Power on, Power off, and Reset
• If the NA-1400 is off press the power switch only one time, quickly, to power on.
• If the NA-1400 is on:
Press the power switch twice, quickly, to restore settings.
Press and hold the power switch for four to five seconds or click the Shutdown option in the Web
interface to power off.
• Total time required to power up or power down after you press the power switch can be four minutes.
• LEDs on the hard disk drive carriers flicker during power up and illuminate during data read and write.
Name and Address of the NA-1400
At power-up the NA-1400 configures itself and assigns itself an IP address that you later use to access the
Web-based interface. If no DHCP server is available, a host configures an IPv4 Link-Local address on its
own, by selecting a random, unused IP address in the range from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.254.254,
inclusive, according to RFC3927.
Note: It is recommended that you give the NA-1400 a static IP address or a non-expiring
DHCP lease time. If a network DHCP server is not available initially, add a route
to the 169.254.* network to configure the NA-1400 with a static IP address.
Find the NA-1400 on Your Network
Notes: Before you start the Discovery application on a non-DHCP network for the first
time, ensure that the NA-1400 and the client PC are physically plugged into the
same subnet.
Additional instructions for finding the NA-1400 on your computer are included,
below. See "Windows" on page 11, "Macintosh" on page 12, and "Linux" on
page 12.
When power-up is complete, your NA-1400 is configured and ready to use. To find it on your network and
to access the Web-based interface in order to use it, follow the instructions below.
1. Insert the Discovery CD into the appropriate drive.
2. Open the contents of your CD-ROM drive.
3. Find the Readme file that is included in the list of files and double-click on it to open it.
4. Follow the instructions for your operating system.
Notes: It can take 15 minutes or longer for the NA-1400 to display in the Workgroup.
Java Runtime Environment version 1.4 or later is required to run Discovery on
Mac OS X. Version 1.4.2 is highly recommended.

You must know the NA-1400 IP address and public mount point in order to connect to the NA-1400. Once
the IP address and target mount point are established, the NA-1400 is accessed using a mount command
with the target IP address, target mount point, and local mount point, in the form of:
smbmount //ip-address/target-directory-path local-mount-point

Installation and Setup
NA-1400 13
The target directory path depends on how the NA-1400 disks are configured. If the NA-1400 has been
configured with a static IP address, ask the administrator for this address to connect to the server. If the
NA-1400 is set to obtain a DHCP IP address automatically, either get the IP address from the Web interface
application, or ask the system administrator.
KDE or Gnome users also can use Konqueror or Nautilus (respectively) in order to browse the local
network using SMB/CIFS. Please refer to their manuals for details.
Create a Local Mount
To create a local mount:
1. Type:
mkdir [directory name] <Enter>
For example, if you want to create a directory named testdir under user's home directory, you would
type:
mkdir ~/testdir
2. Press Enter.
3. Type:
ls [directory name]
4. Press Enter. The contents of the directory display. It is empty.
View Available Shares
To view the shares available for CIFS/SMB mounting:
1. Type:
smbclient -L [//NA-1400 name or IP address]
2. Press Enter.
For example, if the NA-1400’s IP address is 192.168.0.230, you would type:
smbclient –L //192.168.0.230
3. Press Enter.
If your NA-1400 is joined into domain, you might be prompted for a domain password. Otherwise, just
press the Enter key at password prompt.
Mount an Available Share
1. Decide which share path you want to mount from the list that is displayed on the screen. To mount an
available share on the NA-1400 to a local mount point, from a Linux console type:
smbmount //[NA-1400 IP address]/[path on NA-1400] [local mount point]
For example, if the NA-1400 IP address is 192.168.0.230, the share name is public, and the local
mount point is ~/testdir, you would type:
smbmount //192.168.0.230/public ~/testdir
2. Press Enter.
3. Type:
ls [directory name]

Installation and Setup
14 NA-1400
4. Press Enter. The contents of the directory, now containing files on the NA-1400, display. You can use
this directory as if it were a local directory on the client.
Disconnect a Share
To disconnect a share mounted on the Linux client:
1. Type:
smbumount [directory name]
For example, if path on the local Linux client is ~/testdir, you would type:
smbumount ~/testdir
2. Press Enter.
3. Type:
ls [directory name]
4. Press Enter. The contents of the directory display. It is empty.
Log on and Configure
1. Open a Web browser window and click in the Address field at the top of the window.
2. Type https://IP address, where IP address is the address you found in the steps above. In this example
we use 169.254.0.1.

Note: If you changed the system name, the NA-1400 will reboot. Otherwise, only its
management engine is restarted. In both cases, you must log on via the system
management Web interface when power on completes.
11. To log on again, type the NA-1400’s IP address in the Web browser address field and press Enter. The
Logon window opens.
12. In the Logon window, type your password and click OK. The Web-based system management tool
opens.
Note: In case of a server hang at logon time, the management engine will restart
automatically and be available for logon again in about five minutes.

2. To shut down, click Shutdown in the Web interface or press the power switch one time.
Remove and Reinstall an Hard Disk Drive Carrier
This section contains instructions for the removal and insertion of an HDD carrier. If you want to replace
the HDD inside the carrier, see the detailed instructions in "Replace the Hard Disk Drive in the Carrier" on
page 16.
Caution: Ensure that you label each HDD with an appropriate sequential number.
This is necessary in order to ensure that you reinsert it into its original
slot. If you remove the HDD from one slot and insert it into a different
slot, you can lose all the data that was saved to the HDD.

Managing Settings
Managing Users and Groups on the NA-1400
As soon as you install and configure the NA-1400, as instructed in the previous chapter, it is available to
everyone on your network, by default.
You can change the user authentication from local (on the NA-1400) to either of these network user
authentication means:
• Primary Domain Controller
• Active Directory Services
Notes: The choice of security mode should be made early. Later changes can cause some
users to lose access to files stored on the NA-1400.
If you use either of these authentication means, you must add, modify and delete
user and group information on the Primary Domain Controller or Active Directory
Services, rather than through the Web interface window.
