2 Installing the MaxAttach NAS 4100

Connect MaxAttach to Your Network

To connect the MaxAttach NAS 4100 to your network, insert one of the included Ethernet cables into
either MaxAttach 10/100 Ethernet port (LAN1 or LAN2), located on the rear panel. Insert the other end of
this cable into network hub or switch. If your MaxAttach is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet option, you
may connect it to a 10/100/1000 network hub or switch, using a CAT-6 cable (not supplied).
Note: The two 10/100 Ethernet ports found on MaxAttach are pre-configured to provide load
balancing and fail-over capability. Although not necessary for a successful installation, this feature
does enhance system performance, and allows for redundancy in the event of a cable or component
failure.To use this function, connect the second included Ethernet cable to your MaxAttach and the
other end to another open port on your network hub or switch. Load balancing and fail-over will
automatically be enabled with no special configuration required for your switch.
