In this case, you must reset ADS as above. 39 of 47
ADS Mode Recommended Folder Access methods Method 1 This method involves the use of a logon script, which systems administrator will be familiar with. (Sample logon script below). This file is created in notepad and is saved with a .bat extension i.e. logon.bat The file contains mappings to NAS folders to which the user has access permission. Drive letters cannot be used more that once, and must not already be in use. Drive letters shown above are K: R: H: and Q: The IP address of the NAS must come after the double backslash (obviously the IP address will depend on your own setup), and finally, add the folder name you wish to map e.g. company (or whatever folder name you require). When the file is completed and saved, System Administrators should add this to the C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\scripts folder. The script name must also be configured within the user account properties, in the profile tab, by adding the logon script name (logon.bat) to the Logon Script field. Now when this user logs on to their system the folders will be mapped in My Computer / Windows Explorer. This will make folder access simple and convenient. 40 of 47
Method 2 Right click on your desktop and select new, then shortcut. This will bring up this window. Enter the IP address of your NAS and specify the folder you wish to connect to (e.g. projects). Please note you must have permission to access the folder, which can be setup via the NAS GUI. 41 of 47 Click next, and type a name for the shortcut, then click finish. This will create a desktop shortcut to the projects folder.
Method 3 In Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer you can type in the address of the folder you wish to access. (again you need permission) i.e. \\192.168.0.10\projects Obviously the address will depend on your particular setup. This will allow you access to the folder. 42 of 47
Hard disk utility Two functions can be found in this option: 1. Format: Here you can format the hard disk 2 Scandisk：Here you can scan the hard disk to repair any damaged files. NOTE: Please ensure you have backed up any important data from the hard disc drive before you format. All data will be lost when you format Formatting the Hard Disk Drive on your Plextor StorX Once you have selected Harddisk Utility, select SDA PORT: shows the port which the hard disk is connected to within your Plextor StorX. ID: shows the hard disk manufacturer. To format the hard disk drive, select which file system you prefer either; Format to XFS or Format to FAT32 Click Format - A warning window appears Once formatting is complete, a confirmation window appears. Click OK 43 of 47
Firmware Upgrade Whenever a new firmware is released, you can upgrade your Plextor StorX firmware from here. This will take about 1~2 min for the upgrade to complete. Save Config Once you have setup / configured your Plextor StorX the way you like it, Save Config allows you to save this configuration to your PC so you can restore these settings at a later date (Including the settings in LAN, System and Scheduling).
