Thank you for purchasing the DiskMaster storage solution. With
speed, ease of use, high capacity, and support for numerous
applications, DiskMaster is the ideal solution for all of your data
storage needs.
1.1 An Overview of the DiskMaster
Securely access all of your multimedia, music and data files on your
local LAN or through Internet.
Thanks to its Fast/Gigabit port and its capacity for two Hard Disks, the
DiskMaster provides high speed data throughput with the security that all
your data is safe (only RAID1).
Based on the IP protocol, the DiskMaster allows you to access all of your
files from anywhere (an FTP server is included), giving you complete
control on space and user or group access providing a very granular level
of security. Furthermore, the Diskmaster allows you to use your favorite
operating system; Windows®, Mac or Linux.
Ease of use, performance and security.
The DiskMaster can be used in three modes: single volume, performance,
or security mode.
As a single volume, or JBOD, DiskMaster will show both Hard Disk Drives
as a single unit, providing maximum capacity and ease of use. If
performance is what you need, you can configure the Diskmaster in RAID0
and stream your multimedia and graphic files for multiple users with up to
160Mb/s reading and 120Mb/s writing speeds (for Gigabit) for immediate
access to your data.
Finally, if your business or home needs full data security, DiskMaster not
only provides a full featured backup software, but also RAID1 functionality.
This way, even if you lose one of disks, you will have an image of your data
on the other.
iTunes®, BitTorrentTM and USB Print Server
Turn off your computer and use the DiskMaster as your server. DiskMaster
integrates a BitTorrent client (only on the Gigabit device) so that you can
now download any file you want without the need to use your computer.
Now, you will not only will you be able to share your multimedia or data
files, but you will also be able to use the Diskmaster as a iTunes server and
play your favorite songs directly from the Diskmaster. Additionally, thanks
to the DiskMaster’s USB port, you can now connect your normal USB
printer and turn it into a fully functional networked shared printer. Doing

(if You changed) of your device once it is connected to
the network, there are several different ways as
described on the following pages.
Use the Setup utility included on the CD
(CDRom\Utility\setup.exe). This will list the device
automatically and allow you to access the web
configuration interface with a simple click of your mouse.

Single Hard Drive installation
The following illustrates the layout of the Web-based Configuration Tool
main screen. This page allows you to format the physical hard disks into
DiskMaster.
Click on Maintenance then Disk Utility.
Select the mode for the NAS system to partition and format disks.
Select, in the combo box, the system file (EXT2 / EXT3 / FAT32), EXT 3
is recommend. Press Format to start formatting (it may require some
times; do not perform other jobs during hard drive formatting). Now please
check that this disk is correctely mounted (check Status=mount).
Once the drive has been formatted, go to Quick Start Wizard (using
Utility) in order to finish the product setup.

When the settings are made, the DiskMaster system
starts formatting the disks. This procedure will destroy all
the data on the disks. Make sure You have backed up
any important data on the disks before the format
process. It may require some times; do not perform other
jobs during hard drive formatting
The DiskMaster supports 128bit loop-AES encryption for
the EXT2 file system. When enabled, the drive has to be
formatted again and you will be prompted for a password
(has to be exactly 20 characters).
Allow system file EXT2 / EXT3 or FAT32.

Dual Hard Drive installation
The following illustrates the layout of the Web-based Configuration Tool
main screen. This page allows you to format the physical hard disks into
DiskMaster.
Click on Maintenance then Raid Settings.
In this section you can manage the RAID array and set up your drives. The
DiskMaster supports RAID 0 and RAID 1. Two hard drives of identical
capacity and make are required.
Please Select the RAID mode (RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD) then Create
Raid Systems.
Where solutions begin
ISO 9001:2000 Certified Company
DiskMaster
If only one drive is installed, the RAID configuration will
not be available.
Creating the RAID system will take several hours,
depending on HDD capacity. Do not turn off the power or
interrupt the system in any other way during this process!
We recommend using the EXT2 file system for optimum
performance and functionality. Changing the RAID setup
will require you to re-format the drives. Make sure you
backup all data before doing so!
There are 3 differents RAID mode:
•
RAID 0= RAID 0, known as disk striping, has
generally the best performance, but does not offer
any redundancy. In this level, data is broken into
small units called sectors, and sectors are distributed
across all disks in the array. As it does not provide
any data protection, if any disk in the array fails then
all data in the array is lost. Such stripes allocation
allows to enhance I/O performance.
•
RAID 1= RAID Level 1, known as disk mirroring, is a
popular approach to protect data from adisk failure.
To implement RAID Level 1, you need at least two
physical hard drives. As the disks are paired up, all
disk writes are duplicated on both disks. You can
back up data without interruption using this algorithm.
In case of a disk failure, the system can continue to
run without being affected.
•
JBOD=JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) is a group of
disks. JBOD is not technically RAID but “disk
spanning.” In this mode, all the disks are grouped
together so they appears as a large single disk. Each
Where solutions begin
ISO 9001:2000 Certified Company
DiskMaster
disk can operate independently and is seen as an
individual disk. Therefore, the total capacity of JBOD
is the sum of the capacities of each disk. This allows
the user to add disks until the desired total capacity is
reached. Since JBOD provides no performance
increase and data protection, it is seldom used.
1.10 How to login
To configure your DiskMaster , you will need to use the web browser, enter
the IP address and then use the web configuration for further setup. To find
out the IP address of your device once it is connected to the network, there
are several different ways as described on the following pages.
Use the Setup utility included on the CD. This will list the device
automatically and allow you to access the web configuration interface with
a simple click of your mouse. You may also use the same utility at a later
point to map the network drive after you setup your shares.

Disk spin down time: To save power and reduce heat, you can let the
hard disk spin down if not used for a certain amount of time. Enter a time in
minutes and press the Save button to apply the new setting.
Encryption: The DiskMaster supports 128bit loop-AES encryption for the
EXT2 file system. When enabled, the drive has to be formatted again and
you will be prompted for a password (has to be exactly 20 characters).
File System: For drives that are not in a RAID array, there is a choice
between EXT2, EXT3 and FAT32. For drives installed in the DiskMaster,
we recommend using EXT2 for optimum performance and functionality.
Scandisk: Press the Scan button to check the disk integrity. If possible,
any errors found will automatically be fixed. This will take a while to finish
depending on the capacity of the drive, and also the disk can not be used
in that time.

Two hard drives of identical capacity and make are
required for RAID 0/1.
Where solutions begin
ISO 9001:2000 Certified Company
DiskMaster
There are 3 differents RAID mode:
•
•
•
RAID 0= RAID 0, known as disk striping, has
generally the best performance, but does not offer
any redundancy. In this level, data is broken into
small units called sectors, and sectors are distributed
across all disks in the array. As it does not provide
any data protection, if any disk in the array fails then
all data in the array is lost. Such stripes allocation
allows to enhance I/O performance.
RAID 1= RAID Level 1, known as disk mirroring, is a
popular approach to protect data from adisk failure.
To implement RAID Level 1, you need at least two
physical hard drives. As the disks are paired up, all
disk writes are duplicated on both disks. You can
back up data without interruption using this algorithm.
In case of a disk failure, the system can continue to
run without being affected.
JBOD=JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) is a group of
disks. JBOD is not technically RAID but “disk
spanning.” In this mode, all the disks are grouped
together so they appears as a large single disk. Each
disk can operate independently and is seen as an
individual disk. Therefore, the total capacity of JBOD
is the sum of the capacities of each disk. This allows
the user to add disks until the desired total capacity is
reached. Since JBOD provides no performance
increase and data protection, it is seldom used.
Creating the RAID system will take several hours,
depending on HDD capacity. Do not turn off the power or
interrupt the system in any other way during this process!
We recommend using the EXT2 file system for optimum
performance and functionality. Changing the RAID setup
will require you to re-format the drives. Make sure you
backup all data before doing so!

Raid Settings (Rebuilding)
When using RAID 1 and one of the drives has failed, the faulty HDD has to
be replaced and the RAID 1 array rebuilt.
1. Login and go to the RAID Setting (Maintenance->Raid Settings) menu
to check the disk status. If there is a problem, it will show which drive has to
be replaced.
2. Turn off the power, remove the power supply from the wall socket and
replace the a new HDD. Please refer to the table below for the HDD
allocations.
3. Turn on the power and go to the RAID setting menu. Add the new drive
and the Dual Giga NAS will start to rebuild your RAID array.
4. Depending on the capacity, this will take several hours. Do not turn off
the power or interrupt the system in any other way. The HDD LED will be
ON while the RAID array is being rebuilt.
