SETUP

To setup any QSAN NAS you will need to download the XFinder software from their website.

Once you install and launch the XFinder software it will detect any QSAN units in your local network and report on their current OS which you can update prior to even starting the setup procedure (double click on the unit to launch your web browser).

The setup wizard has two options, quick setup and customized setup (we always choose the latter).

As with other NAS models you will need to enter a password, set the time and date, configure the network settings and choose the desired mode for the mounted drives (for our tests we start with RAID 0 followed by RAID 5).

After this the NAS will boot and you will have to create a volume and a folder as seen above (QSAN also informs you of some of the other functions and features of their NAS).
