Quick Setup

NOTE: The Quick Setup provides a quick and easy way to setup the basic NAS configuration. This function will

create the NASVG, which is a Volume Group that holds the NAS configurations and must be created or initialized

the first time the NAS is used. The Quick Setup will make use of all available disk drives in the NAS.

The Quick Setup options are listed below:

1. RAID

This is used for selecting the RAID Level.

2. Storage/Share

This shows the default Home share capacity which can be changed. It also shows default share

named share which can be renamed and whose size can be changed.

3. Network Adapter

This is for configuring the primary Ethernet interface LAN0 (eth0) network settings. After changing

the settings, admin need to login using the new IP address.

4. Service

This is for enabling the basic Services provided by actiNAS. Windows (Samba) service is enabled

by default.

The Quick Setup Steps:

1. Configure the software RAID by selecting the RAID Level.

The RAID Level options are:

a) Max. Capacity (RAID0)

b) Clone Data (RAID1)

c) Security (RAID5)

d) Max. Security (RAID6)

NOTE: To initialize the RAID, remove the check mark in the Without initializing option. Initializing the RAID will

ensure the previous RAID data in the disks are cleared.
