Expanding PC Disk Storage
The SC101 easily allows you to expand the amount of disk space your PCs can access.
Typically, enabling access to additional disk space for your PCs includes these elements:
One or more SC101 units each with one or two hard disks installed and the SC101 software
installed on each PC that will access the Storage Central unit.
Drive space created on the SC101 for your PCs to access.
The SC101 drive space attached to each PC that you want to use for running the software.
Restricting unauthorized access.
If your network does not include wireless access, and you want all these files to be
available for any computer connected to the network on which the SC101 software is
installed, then you do not need a password to restrict access.
If your network does include wireless access, then use a password to restrict access and
implement appropriate wireless security.
Now, each PC with access to a SC101 drive can save files to the drive or copy files from it.
Note: If you relocate your Storage Central SC1011 to another network, you will need
to install the Storage Central software on any PC on the new network you plan
to use with the SC101. Remember to attach any existing SC101 drives to these
PCs accordingly.
