Installing the RAIDar Utility
This Setup Manual provides instructions for connecting the ReadyNAS to your network (
“Installing the RAIDar Utility” on page 1) and for configuring the device for your network (see
“Using the FrontView Setup Wizard” on page 5). Before installing the RAIDar Utility, please note
that:
• RAIDar, a utility used for discovering the ReadyNAS device on your network, is located on
the ReadyNAS Installation CD. RAIDar is useful in environments where the ReadyNAS
obtains a random DHCP IP address.
• RAIDar runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and takes up approximately 40MB of disk
space after installation.
• Your client system must reside on the same IP address subnet.
Installing RAIDar on Windows
Load the Installation CD. Follow the installation wizard to install RAIDar. (If the Autorun
installation utility does not start automatically, double-click Autorun.exe to start the installation.)
Installing RAIDar on MAC OS X
1. Load the Installation CD, open the Mac RAIDar Setup folder and double-click
Setup_Mac.dmg to start the installation. The RAIDar Installer icon will display on your
desktop.
2. Double-click the icon and follow the installer instructions to install RAIDar.
Alternatively, you can install a thin RAIDar widget for your Dashboard. You can download this
widget from the NETGEAR support at: http://www.netgear.com/support.
