Frequently Asked Questions - TS-IGL-R5 RACKMOUNT BUFFALO

How to install the Buffalo TS-IGL-R5 server?

Insert the TeraNavigator CD into your computer. The setup starts automatically. If not, run TSnavi.exe (Start > Run, type d:\TSnavi.exe). Click 'Begin Installation'. Follow the wizard to physically connect the TeraStation and install the software. After installation, the iSCSI tool guides you to register the disk and create a volume.

How to configure the iSCSI connection under Windows?

After installing the iSCSI connection tool (via the CD), launch it and click 'Register the iSCSI Hard Disk'. Check 'Resume connection at start up' then click 'Connect'. Then open Disk Management, initialize the disk and create a volume using the wizard.

What to do if the server is not detected by TeraNavigator?

Check that the TeraStation is properly connected to the network and powered on. Make sure your computer is on the same subnet. Try restarting the TeraStation. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting guide or contact Buffalo support.

How to add a new volume on the server?

In Disk Management (accessible via 'Launch Disk Management'), the TeraStation appears as a disk. Double-click on the black bar above. The 'New Volume' wizard guides you: choose the volume type, add dynamic disks, select the drive letter and format, then finalize.

How to reset the administrator password?

The manual does not detail the reset. Generally, use the Reset button on the back of the unit (hold for 5-10 seconds) to restore factory settings. Refer to the full manual for more details.

What type of hard drives are compatible with the TS-IGL-R5?

The manual does not specify compatible drives. Buffalo recommends using Buffalo series hard drives or standard 3.5-inch SATA/SAS drives. Check compatibility on the official website.

How to access the server remotely?

The server is accessible via the local network using the iSCSI protocol. For remote access, you need to set up a VPN or use file sharing solutions. The manual does not cover remote configuration.

How to update the firmware?

The manual does not provide a procedure. Generally, log in to the server's web interface (via TeraNavigator) and look for updates in the system settings. Download the firmware from the Buffalo website and follow the instructions.

What to do in case of a power outage?

Make sure the TeraStation is plugged into a surge-protected outlet. If a power outage occurs, the device protects itself automatically. On restart, check the integrity of the volumes via the management tool.

How to back up server data?

You can use the built-in backup function (if available) or copy files over the network. For regular backups, configure a backup software compatible with iSCSI volumes.
