These instructions will guide you through these three steps:

  1. First, Install a hard disk, and connect the Storage Central SC101 to your network.
  2. Next, Install the Storage Central SC101 software.
  3. Now, Allocate SC101 disk space for each PC that will use the SC101.

Note: You must have an IDE hard disk, an Ethernet network with an available port, DHCP must be running in the network, and you need to have either Windows XP (SP2) or Windows 2000 (SP4) PCs to access the SC101.

Unpack the unit, Ethernet cable, power adapter, and the NETGEAR CD. The CD contains driver software, a setup wizard, and links to online resources. Familiarize yourself with the SC101 unit. Notice the rear of the SC101 has information about the ports and the front status lights.

Note: When you set up the unit, stand it on its feet, and be sure it has ample ventilation. Avoid putting the unit in a location where it could be knocked over easily. Do not place items on top of it.
