BlackArmor Users Start Here
To get started with your BlackArmor server:
1. Ensure that you have these items from the BlackArmor administrator:
• The BlackArmor Discovery software
• The BlackArmor Backup software
• Your BlackArmor log in name and password
• The names of the folder share(s) that you can access
• A description of any access limitations you have (for instance, read-only access to a
particular folder share)
• A copy of the BlackArmor NAS 440/420 User Guide
2. Install the BlackArmor software (see page 16).
You don’t need to install BlackArmor Backup if you are already using other software for regular
file backups.
3. Connect to the server and the folder shares you have access to using BlackArmor Discovery
(see page 17).
4. Share your files by saving them to shares that can be accessed by other people on your local
network or over the Web.
5. (Optional) Create a full backup of your important files, or set up recurring backups, using
BlackArmor Backup (see page 49).
6. (Optional) If a USB printer has been connected to the BlackArmor server, add it to your list of
available printers, following your operating system’s instructions.
