Step 9: Setting up Network Drives on other PCs
In Step 7, the NAS Setup Wizard created a default folder on the SmarStor and
made it a network drive on your PC.
To setup network drives on other PCs, where you have not installed the
SmartStor software, you must use the PCs’ Operating Systems for this purpose:
• Setting up a Network Drive on a Windows PC (page 13)
• Setting up a Network Drive on a UNIX or Linux PC (page 13)
• Setting up a Network Drive on a Macintosh PC (page 15)
