Features of the BlackArmor Server
Note: The features described in this section are shown in the graphics on page 11.
The BlackArmor server includes:
•Four Serial ATA (SATA) disk drives that are
•Two Ethernet, or LAN, ports that let you access the server from your local network or over the Internet.
The server’s two LAN ports can be configured for link aggregation, which means you can connect both LAN ports to your network at the same time and improve transfer performance. Your BlackArmor server then uses both network connections simultaneously so that it can transfer data at a faster rate. See page 38.
Alternatively, you can use one LAN port to connect to your network and the other LAN port to set up replication, or archive backup, where an exact copy of the data on your BlackArmor server is created and maintained on a second BlackArmor server. See page 37.
•Four USB ports that let you back up data directly to or from a portable USB drive, connect a USB printer that everyone on your local network can use, or connect an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).
•LEDs representing the ports, disk drives, and server that indicate activity and status. See page 40.
•LCD screen that displays current server settings and status information, including messages that appear when an event (a problem or change in setting) occurs on the server. Buttons beside the screen help you scroll up and down through the available information. See page 39.
When the LEDs indicate a change in setting or status, information about this change appears on the LCD screen.
