NAS FileZerver

System Prerequisites
The NAS Server requires the following network components:

    A TCP/IP network using 10/100BaseT Ethernet and Category 5 RJ45 cabling.
    An Internet web browser loaded on the administration workstation.
    Ethernet patch cable to attach the NAS Server to the network.
    If ZerverView remote administration software is to be used, a workstation running Windows 95, NT3.51 or NT 4.0 is needed.

Physical Connection

  1. Insert the Category 5 Ethernet patch cable into the RJ-45 connector at the rear of the NAS Server. Insert the other end into a network hub.
  2. Connect the power cable to the NAS Server and plug it into the power strip or outlet. Use of a surge protector is strongly recommended for long system life.
  3. Turn on the NAS Server.

Front Panel Indicator Lights
There are four LEDs on the front panel of the Zerver CPU: Status, Network, 10/100, and Drive.

    The Status LED will cycle from red to amber to green during the system boot process. If the NAS Server is unable to dynamically acquire an IP address via DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP this LED will slowly blink amber to indicate that the default IP address of 10.10.10.10 is in use. If an IP address was attained dynamically, or if a static IP address has been assigned this LED will remain green.
    The Network LED blinks amber to indicate the NAS Server is transferring data. It will blink green to indicate external network traffic.
    The 10/100 LED is solid amber when the NAS Server is on a 10BaseT network. It is green when the unit is on a 100BaseT network.
    The Drive LED blinks to indicate hard drive activity. It will be green if an IDE drive is in use; amber if a SCSI drive is being accessed.
