Introduction

Congratulations on your new TeraStation! Your TeraStation Live is a powerful file server that’s as easy to use as a hard drive. With its straightforward configuration GUI, anyone can easily configure the TeraStation’s settings. You don’t even necessarily need to configure it at all; right out of the box it’s ready to be plugged in and put to work. But the TeraStation remains a fast, reliable Linux-based server, with four huge hard drives that may be configured in RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10 arrays. It also includes PCast and DLNA media servers, allowing it to stream music, movies, and pictures to a wide range of stand-alone media players. This user manual is intended to assist you in configuring your new TeraStation.

Because we’re constantly updating our product, the images and text in this manual may vary slightly from the images and text displayed by your TeraStation. These changes are minor and should not affect the ease of setup adversely. As time passes, future user interfaces, updated software, and later versions of this manual may be freely available for download at our web site: http://www.buffalotech.com.

If you run into difficulties or need additional help, feel free to contact our technical support. Contact information for Buffalo Technology and our technical support is available on pages 81 and 82.
