QNAP TS-419P+ Turbo NAS
Feb 3rd, 2011 | By SimonQNAP has always made it easy to configure their NAS units. Once you have the hard drives installed and the NAS connected to your network, the included DVD’s QNAP Finder will locate the NAS on your network and start the configuration process. The included DVD also allows you to install NetBack Replicator and QGet to further increase the flexibility of the QNAP TS-419P+, read the Quick Installation Guide, User Manual and Application Notes as well as get Product Support and Register the device.
Assuming everything went according to plan, you can now access the web administration page where the true powers of the server are unleashed. In addition to basic administration, the web admin lets you manage all the web files, get customer service, read the QNAP Wiki and participate in the QNAP forums.
Ninety-nine percent of your time will likely be dedicated to the Web Administrator page. In here, you have access to everything from RAID configuration, backup options, external devices to firmware updates.
Here’s a breakdown of everything you can do right out of the box after you install the hard drives.
