1.5 Quick Installation Guide
Following is a quick installation guide to get you up and running in a matter of minutes. For further
details on each of the settings, please refer to the subsequent chapters.
1. Install at least one hard drive.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable from your network router/switch to the NT2 LAN.
3. When everything is connected, press and hold the Reset button, turn on the NT2 LAN,
release the Reset button after about 2 seconds and give it around 1-2 minutes to start up.
4. Start the discover tool to locate the network drive and initialize the NAS system.
5. Login via web browser to modify the settings of your network drive.
6. You are now ready to start uploading and sharing files.
Note
Without installing hard drives and initializing the NAS system, the device cannot be accessed via
web browser.
1.5.1 Power ON/OFF Procedure
Connect the power supply to your device first and only then plug it into the wall socket. To turn on
the NT2 LAN, press the power switch to start up the system. It will take about 1-2 minutes for the
device to go online but the green system LED will indicate when the system is ready.
To safely turn off the NT2 LAN, press and hold the power switch for 3 seconds until the green
system LED turns off. The system will then shut down all services and about 20 seconds later, it
will power down.
If for some reasons the system is unresponsive, press and hold the power switch for 6 seconds to
forcefully shut down the system and cut off the power.
Note
If the device is not in use for a longer period of time, we recommend turning off the power and
removing the power supply from the wall socket.
1.6 About Data Backup
To protect your files and help prevent the loss of your data, we strongly recommend that you keep
two copies of your data, one copy on your NT2 and a second copy either on your internal drive or
another storage media such as a CD, DVD, Tape or an additional external drive.
Any loss or corruption of data while using the NT2 is the sole responsibility of the user, and under
no circumstances will the manufacturer be held liable for compensation or the recovery of this data.
