Preface
The Overland Storage REO 9000 Disk-Based Backup-and-Recovery 
Appliance takes the lag time, expense, and burden out of backing up 
critical data and works seamlessly within current storage environments. 
The REO Appliance performs faster than traditional disk-based storage 
methods and serves as a shared network resource by utilizing high-
capacity disks, high-speed Ethernet and Internet SCSI (iSCSI) 
connectivity, and unique software intelligence capability from Overland 
Storage.
The REO Appliance comes with a standard software package called the 
ProtectionPAC. The ProtectionPAC software contains all the basic 
features that you need to configure your REO Appliance to work within 
your network environment.
This document includes information that helps you set up the REO 
Appliance, including system requirements, questions that you need to 
answer before installing the product, and installation procedures.
Important:
If you purchased multiple units, set up (attach and
configure) one unit at a time. The target names must be unique within 
a network; that is, if you are using multiple appliances, you must 
change the default target names.
 
Also, be aware that the keys are not interchangeable and Overland 
strongly recommends that you make a backup copy of the files on the 
keys before and after you configure them.
