Connect the MaxAttach to your Network
1.Connect one of the enclosed CAT-5 Ethernet cables to either 10/100 Base T Ethernet port on the back of your MaxAttach. Insert the other end of this cable into a 10/100 Ethernet connection on your network hub or switch. If you connect both Ethernet ports to your network, they are pre- configured to enable fail-over and load balancing. Use the power cord to connect the MaxAttach to a power source.
2.Make sure the main power On/Off rocker switch located at the back of the unit is in the On posi- tion. Next, press the soft-power button on the front panel. The power light will begin to flash and continue flashing for several minutes during the power-up cycle. When the power light stops flash- ing and remains on, your MaxAttach is ready to configure.
Install the MaxNeighborhood Software
1.Insert the CD labeled MaxAttach NAS 4000 Series into your CD-ROM drive. If the MaxAttach menu does not appear shortly after insertion, use Windows Explorer to locate and launch the Setup file on the CD.
2.From the opening screen, select MaxNeighborhood Setup & Discovery Wizard, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
3.When the installation is complete, select the option to launch MaxNeighborhood, and then click on the FINISH button. A MaxNeighborhood window will appear with a “SEARCHING, Please Wait. . .” message. When the search is complete, the MaxAttach unit (s) on your network will be displayed in the window grid.
