Getting Started as a Seagate NAS User
Follow the steps in this section to get started with your Seagate NAS.
1. Ensure that you have received these items from the Seagate NAS administrator:
• The Seagate NAS Discovery software
• Your Seagate NAS log in name and password
• The Seagate NAS Backup software (optional)
• The names of the shared folders that you can access
• A description of any access limitations you have (for instance, read-only access to a
particular share)
2. Install the Seagate NAS software.
Install both the Discovery and Backup software, unless you are already using another backup
software program or have a Mac and are using the Time Machine for backup.
3. Connect to the Seagate NAS and the shared folders you have access to using Discovery.
• (Windows) Double-click the Discovery icon on your desktop.
• (Mac) Double-click the Discovery icon in your Applications folder.
When Discovery opens, it automatically searches for all Seagate NAS devices on your
network and displays them in a list.
4. Select your new Seagate NAS.
A list of shared folders on the server appears.
5. Scroll through the list of shared folders and then do one or more of the following:
• To view shared folders, select the shared folder and then click View Share Details.
• To map a shared folder, select the share you want, then select a computer drive, and then
click Map Drive.
• If you have access to more than one shared folder, continue to find and map additional
shared folders as needed.
