Introduction Approved Vendor List for Drives 1 Getting Help There are two buttons on the NSS configuration interface window that you can click to access help: • From the Manager Menu click Help to display the full online Administrator Guide. Use the navigation tools within the help to find information for your chosen topic. • A context-sensitive help button appears in the upper-right corner of the topic page. Click it to display help on the specific configuration area. For example, if the current configuration topic is about the status of your disk drives, click the Help button for information about the details that appear on the status page. Refreshing the GUI Pages Although certain GUI pages automatically refresh at a preselected time interval, some pages do not refresh until they are reselected. The best way to manually refresh a GUI page is to reselect it through the options in the Manager Menu on the left side of the GUI window. For example, to refresh the NTP Configuration page, from the Manager Menu, click Admin and then click Time. Do not use the Refresh button on the Web browser toolbar as this can cause data issues. Approved Vendor List for Drives If you are purchasing disk drives to install in the NSS, see the Approved Vendor List at http://www.cisco.com/support for a list of recommended disk drives. When you select a disk drive, consider the type of RAID levels required to service your business needs. For example, if you are creating a RAID (versus a JBOD), make sure that each of the disks used in the array have the same disk capacity. The RAID is built using the capacity of the smallest disk in the array. Linksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide 4
