Safety warning
Related to damage to the HDD and data:
- during installation or disconnection of the system, ensure that the system
does not experience any external physical shocks.
- During the operation of the HDD, short surges and stoppages of power may
cause the system to turn off and on quickly.
- there may be a sudden stoppage of electricity during operation
- avoid moving the system during operation of the HDD, which may cause
external physical shock
8
- during the configuration of new volumes.
i) if during use, existing volumes are deleted and new volumes are created,
data will be lost.
ii) Before configuration of new volumes, each user must back up data, as well
as when creating new volumes, to ensure the possibility of restoration.

[To acquire an IP address automatically]
In order to acquire an IP address automatically, select ‘Acquire IP address automatically
(DHCP)’. This option may used if there is a DHCP server (or internet router) within the
network. Once the DHCP option is activated, the connection with the web menu will be
terminated and a new IP address should be confirmed through the LCD screen or the
NAS Detector program. DHCP set-up will regularly renew the user’s IP address from the
DHCP server, causing unintended IP address changes, and require close attention.
In the case that it is set up for automatic IP address without a DHCP server within the
network, a Link Local address such as 169.254.XXX.XXX will automatically be set up
automatically. This can be used when the PC and network cable are directly connected
and the PC’s address is also set up to ‘Acquire IP address automatically’.

[UPnP]
The UPnP port forwarding is used for LG Network Storage to directly receive
requests from the router connected to the LG Network Storage. Access to the LG
Network Storage from the outside using a DDNS usually requires a special set-up
for the router to forward network requests received by the router to the LG Network
Storage, and the UPnP port forwarding function allows the router to forward data
without a separate router set-up. (This option is only available if the router is such
that supports the UPnP port forwarding function.

* Notes
Because the LG Network Storage Blue-ray drive network connection allows
any logged-in user to use the program, it is important that other users are not
interrupted. For example, in the case that other users are burning data using the
Blue-ray drive, it is recommended to avoid commands that may interfere with the
work, such as “open tray”.
In addition, if data writing/reading on the LG Network Storage is in progress
through the network drive connection, there may be substantial data transfers
within the network and cause difficulty in data transfers through the iSCSI, resulting
in slower and limited writing/reading speed per disk.

<Incremental Back-up and Full Back-up>
For back-ups of removable storage devices, LG Network Storage supports
Incremental back-up and Full back-up. Back-up data are saved in a folder
designated by the user and in the Last Backup folder.
- Incremental: The Last Backup folder contains all data from the removable
storage device. The user designated folder only contains additional data in
the removable disk when compared to the Last Backup folder. .
- Full: Backs up the entire source files. Unlike the Incremental back-up, Full
back-up saves all files in the user designated folder. (Last Backup folder is
not used.)
The following is an example of Incremental back-up and Full back-up. For the 1st
back-up (Jan 1, 2009) the USB contained the following files:
a.txt
b.txt
c.txt

The Incremental back-up will create a folder for the back-up date with the above
files. It also creates a Last Backup folder containing all of the files in the USB. The
system folder structure is as follows:
`-- USB_LG_XTICK
|-- 20090101

|-- a.txt
|-- b.txt
`-- c.txt
`-- lastbackup

For the 2nd back-up (Jan 2, 2009), a.txt and b.txt had been deleted and d.txt and
e.txt had been added.
c.txt
d.txt
e.txt
The 2nd back-up will also create a folder for the back-up date containing only the
added or modified files. In this case, only d.txt and e.txt will be saved and the Last
Backup file will contain all files in the current USB.
`-- USB_LG_XTICK

When power failure occurs, the LG Network Storage will return to its former pre
power-failure state after reboot. In case of system malfunctions under normal
environment, observe the following procedure.
①
②
If the system settings are modified, the user must perform a new set up after
reboot.
If the system is still acting strangely contact the service centre.
To prevent data loss, frequently back up files.
①
②
Follow the above description for shutdown/restart.
In the case that a potential shut down is expected, all files must be saved and
backed up. After the power is restored, reboot the system.
System temperature protection
If HDD temperature within the system exceeds 67 degrees Centigrade or 153 degrees
Fahrenheit, the system ends automatically and to protect hardware.

ꢅ. RAID trouble shooting
The LG Network Storage RAID configuration is abnormal when error messages appear,
hence resort to another solution:
Note: To avoid data obstacles, first perform a back-up of all important data from the LG
Network Storage.
1. RAID configuration error checkup
∙
Confirm whether there is an error on the RAID configuration:
①
On the Status Information/Volume page, the volume configuration state will
show as ”degraded/destroyed”.
∙
Confirm which HDD is causing the RAID error.
①
LED: The LG Network Storage state LED will appear as red.
②
Hard disk with error will not appear in the hard disk status window.

2. Problem solutions
Removing the HDD with the error and connecting a new hard drive (e.g. HDD 2)
will display the new hard disk status to be inactive on the system/volume/add or
remove HDD page. Select the hard disk and click the Add button and RAID will
reconfigure. This will delete all contents of the new hard disk.
RAID reconstruction entails to RAID 1 only.
If there is another failure during reconfiguration, another hard disk should be connected
in place of the hard disk at work and reconfigure RAID.
When connecting or disconnecting the HDD, strictly adhere to the following procedure
and avoids abnormal system operation or data obstruction.
1. In the LG Network Storage, one HDD can be connected or disconnected at a time.
2. 10 seconds will lapse before 2 tones are heard when the LG Network Storage is
connected to or disconnected from a new hard drive. Next, connect or disconnect
the HDD.

Appendix A Volume Construction & RAID Configuration
This section describes volume configuration and supported RAID level. When
configuring volume using RAID, the use of Disks of the same manufacturer and capacity
is recommended to maximize stability and efficiency of configuration. In the case that
the Disks differ in capacity and trademark, data may be lost due to low system stability
and efficiency. In the case that the volume of the damaged Disk must be amended,
relevant data must first be backed up.
∙
Single Disk (None) volumes
The volume can be configured to each Disk without configuring the RAID. This
issimilar to methods with general PCs that use Disks.
If the Disk is damaged, the damaged Disk data may be lost.

∙
Mirroring volumes
Data can be exactly replicated to the Disk through this technique. If one Disk
becomes damaged in the volume, data can be efficiently transferred, saved and
backed up to another configured Disk. The volume’s storage capacity is equal to
that of the smallest Disk in the RAID1, as the data is reproduced from Disk to Disk.
The data backup is a priority during RAID1.
The saving of important data is recommended.

RAID0 striping volume
The Disks are configured in parallel so that they are all being used at once to store
data, as if they were one Disk in summation. Because the data is saved to each
Disk in parallel, many files of low capacity are read simultaneously but with superior
efficiency. Many low capacity files are read because multiple blocks of data are
stored to each Disk, though the performance is excellent at this time. In order to
secure data stored, Information is not read when at least one Disk is damaged.
Subsequently, if the Disk is damaged, the saved data in the volume will be lost.
The storage capacity of the volume as a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of
the Disks.
This technique must not be used for the saving of important data, but rather for fast
data access and for maintenance of the security of its volume capacity.

JBOD Linear volume
The Disks are configured in series so that they are all being used at once to store
data, as if they were one Disk in summation. The volume’s storage capacity can be
maximized, as the data is stored to the Disks in sequence. Data must not be written
in the event of a damaged Disk to safeguard saving capacity. In this way, if a Disk
is damaged, saved date in the volume will be lost. The storage capacity of the
volume as a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of the Disks. To maximize the
safeguard of capacity of the volume, saving of important data is not recommended.
