Reviewer’s Guide: Seagate BlackArmor NAS 440

Enable Media Server Functions
The Seagate BlackArmor NAS does much more than simply store files. It can also serve
as a media server making photos, videos, and music accessible to any DLNA compliant
device on your network. Through the BlackArmor Manager Web interface, you can
enable media server capabilities, and set it to download media files into default folders
automatically. For example, if a user downloads music files, they are directed into that
user’s Music folder automatically.
By enabling the media server, the BlackArmor NAS will also be able to function as an
iTunes® server so that a user can stream music directly to a network computer that has
iTunes installed.
To set up the BlackArmor NAS as a media server, select the Media option in the
BlackArmor Manager Web interface.
Power Management
BlackArmor NAS 440 and NAS 420 are both designed to reduce the amount of power being
consumed during operation and when the servers are not being accessed. In Seagate’s ongoing
mission to maintain a high-level of sustainability, BlackArmor NAS has been equipped with a
stand-by feature that trims power consumption and allows the servers to run more efficiently while
reducing the cost of operation.
This power savings is achieved by enabling a stand-by mode which spins the drive down after a
specific idle time of no activity.
1. To enable drive standby mode, navigate to System, Advanced, by Power Saving HDD
Standby, click Enable.
