Connect MaxAttach to your Network
1. Connect one of the enclosed CAT-5 Ethernet cables to either 10/100 Base T Ethernet port
on the back of your MaxAttach. Insert the other end of this cable into a 10/100 Ethernet
connection on your network hub or switch. If you connect both Ethernet ports to your
network, they are pre-configured to enable fail-over and load balancing. Use the power
cord to connect the MaxAttach to a power source.
2. Make sure the main power On/Off rocker switch located at the back of the unit is in the
On position. Next, press the soft-power button on the front panel. The power light will
begin to flash and continue flashing for several minutes during the power-up cycle. When
the power light stops flashing and remains on, your MaxAttach is ready to configure.

menu does not appear shortly after insertion, use Windows Explorer to locate and launch
the Setup file on the CD. Next, select MaxNeighborhood Installation and follow the on-
screen instructions.
