9. be necessary if large capacity fixed disks are used For example if 250GB fixed disks are used 128M or more of RAM may be necessary for optimum performance Hardware Setup If you are preparing a computer for conversion to a NAS Lite file server and wish to replace or add fixed disk drives do this now and be sure the computer will boot with the new fixed disk drives installed In addition since NASLite boots from a CD ROM it is necessary to set the BIOS to boot from the CD ROM drive and not a floppy or a fixed disk drive NOTE It s recommended that you set the BIOS IDE fixed disk drive configuration for all IDE fixed disk drives to NOT INSTALLED in order to avoid boot problems NASLite does not use the BIOS to identify the available fixed disk drives Computers with older BIOS may refuse to boot if unable to properly identify the installed fixed disk drives To connect the NASLite server to the network a PCI network interface is required Many computers utilize a motherboard with a built in or on board PCI network interface and therefore will work fine A general list of supported PCI network interface adapters is as follows www serverelements com 3COM Adaptec Starfire DuraLAN AMD PCnet32 8111 Broadcom 4400 Davicom DECchip Digi International RightSwitch DIGITAL EtherExpress HP PCLAN Mysom MTD 800 series National Semiconductor DP83810 series NE2000 compatible nForce RealTek Recal Interlan S
