Basic Setup

Follow these instructions to begin using your ReadyDATA system. These

instructions assume that at least one disk is installed in the system.

Note: If you have a diskless system, you must install at least one disk before

following these instructions. For information about installing disks, see the

hardware manual for your system.

To set up your storage system:

1. Place your system in a location that provides adequate ventilation.

High-capacity disks can produce considerable heat. It is important to ensure

that the fan exhausts are unobstructed. For a complete list of placement

considerations, see the hardware manual for your system.

2. Connect the power cord to the back of the system and plug the other end

into a wall outlet or power strip. Make sure that the power switch on the

back panel is in the ON position.

3. Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on the storage system

to your network.

4. If necessary, press the Power button to turn on the system.

It takes about a minute to start up. The IP address is retrieved using DHCP.

5. Install and run the RAIDar utility on a computer that is connected the same

local area network (LAN) as your ReadyDATA system.

RAIDar is on the resource CD that came with your system. It includes

versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

RAIDar detects and displays the ReadyDATA system or systems on your

network.

6. Select your ReadyDATA system from the list of detected devices and click

the Setup button.

An SSL certificate security warning displays. This warning ensures an

encrypted authentication and secure access to the local admin page for your

storage system.

7. Accept the certificate.

A login prompt displays.

8. Enter admin for the user name, enter password for the password, and

click the OK button.

Both the user name and password are case-sensitive.

Tip: You can change these credentials when you configure your

system. NETGEAR recommends that you change your password as

soon as possible.

The ReadyDATA local admin page displays in your browser.

For information about configuring, managing, and maintaining your

ReadyDATA system, see the software manual for your system.
