The remainder of this guide introduces the server’s features and provides some

recommendations to help you create a storage system that meets your needs.

Note: Don’t forget that you are also a BlackArmor user. To begin storing, backing up, and sharing

your files, continue with Getting Started as a BlackArmor User.

Getting Started as a BlackArmor User

Follow the steps in this section to get started with your BlackArmor server.

1. Ensure that you have these items from the BlackArmor administrator:

• The BlackArmor Discovery software

• Your BlackArmor log in name and password

• The BlackArmor Backup software (optional)

• The names of the share(s) that you can access

• A description of any access limitations you have (for instance, read-only access to a

particular share)

• A copy of the BlackArmor NAS 440/420 User Guide

2. Install the BlackArmor software.

Install both BlackArmor Discovery and BlackArmor Backup unless you are already using

another backup software program.

3. Connect to the BlackArmor server and the shares you have access to using BlackArmor

Discovery.

• (Windows) Double-click the BlackArmor Discovery icon on your desktop.

• (Mac) Double-click the BlackArmor Discovery icon in your Applications folder.

When BlackArmor Discovery opens, it automatically searches for all BlackArmor servers on

your network and displays them in a list.

4. Select your new BlackArmor server.

A list of shares on the server appears (Mac). Click Manager Server.

• (Windows) Click View Drive Details. A list of shares on the server appears.

5. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the list of shares and then do one or more of

the following:

• To access the server using BlackArmor Manager, click Manage and then enter your

assigned user name and password. Contact your administrator if you do not have this

information.
