How to set up Western Digital's My Book Live NAS
I was just given an old NAS which I plan to connect to
my home's broadband switch router (there's a GBit LAN
connection).
Thing is the manual & CD that comes with this old NAS
is not there anymore.
Q1:
By connecting up this NAS to the router switch, will it
auto DHCP grab an IP address? How do I know what
IP address this NAS will grab? Does it have a default
(factory setting) IP address.
My home's broadband IP range is 192.168.1.0 /24
Q2:
Do I use a PC at my home (also connected to this
broadband router switch) to http or https to this
address & what's the default login id & password?
Q3:
Any website that I can download the full documentation
/manual for this product?

I saw the above website & the install or User manual indicate to place a
CD media into a PC/laptop on the same LAN as where the NAS is connected
up. Where can I download this CD?

Possible to set up the NAS to have 2 partitions? One for NTFS
& one for OS X (HFS ? ) partition?
I've downloaded the zip file for Mac to my Windows laptop.
So I just use a burner to burn to a CD as "Data CD" ?

Bear with me as I'm not that savvy when it comes to these stuff
& just got a Macbook Pro for my kid (school requires it) : need to
backup this Macbook Pro
Thanks got that onto my Mac & installed it. Able to create shares
& userids but how do I create a share for my Mac to map a drive
to it?

a PC to auto-discover this WD NAS that's connected on the same
subnet/broadband switch.
Where can I download this CD (presumably an .iso file) ?
