Make sure you have a backup of any existing data in the hard disk before installing it in the NSA. Using the initialization wizard formats the hard disk and deletes all data in the process.

The NAS Starter Utility supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. Click Help to open a Web Help page about the NAS Starter Utility screens. NAS Starter Utility screens are shown here as they display with the Windows platform.

Note: Refer to the Quick Start Guide for your NSA’s hardware connections and the steps for installing the NAS Starter Utility.
