QNAP TS-439Pro/4TB TS-439P/4TB Benutzerhandbuch

QNAP TS-439 Pro is the new generation 4-bay model of the worldwide 
award-winning Turbo NAS Series designed to deliver high performance and 
reliable server features such as advanced RAID protection, built-in iSCSI 
target service, and AES 256-bit volume-based encryption for small business.
 
Powered by Intel 1.6 GHz CPU and 1GB DDRII memory, the TS-439 Pro 
supports RAID 0/ 1/ 5/ 6/ 5+Spare, JBOD, Online RAID Capacity Expansion, 
and Online RAID Level Migration. To meet the demand for high security data 
protection of the business users, the TS-439 Pro supports AES 256-bit 
volume-based encryption. The encrypted disk volumes of the NAS must be 
unlocked by the encryption password to be accessed, which eliminates the 
fear of confidential data leakage if the hard drives or the NAS were stolen.

The TS-439 Pro can serve as a NAS and an iSCSI target server. The built-in 
iSCSI target feature provides an affordable IP-SAN (Storage Area Network) 
alternative. Also, the “Virtual Space Allocation” (Thin Provisioning) feature is 
provided which allows you to flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI LUN 
(Logical Unit Number) at the beginning regardless of the physical volume 
capacity.

Moreover, the TS-439 Pro supports file sharing across Linux, UNIX, Mac, and 
Windows. It provides numerous applications, e.g. file server, FTP server, printer 
server, web server (with phpMyAdmin, MySQL, SQLite, Joomla!). The TS-439 
Pro is an ideal storage solution for your office network.

Failover allows the NAS to 

sustain the failure of one 

network port to provide 

continuous services.

Bandwidth aggregation is 

supported to boost the file 

transfer speed (works with 

managed Ethernet switch 

with 802.3ad configured).

The NAS can be deployed 

with two different IP settings 

for sharing among different 

workgroups in two different 

subnets.

The NAS offers advanced RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 5 + Spare, Single, and JBOD disk 

configurations. It also supports hot-swap design that a failed drive can be 

replaced by hot swapping without turning off the server. Besides, the best-in-class 

RAID on the NAS brings users a higher level of data security by allowing one 

more hard drive failure than other NAS of the same level.

The storage capacity of a RAID configura-

tion can be expanded by replacing the 

hard drives with larger ones. All the data 

will be kept and seamlessly moved to the 

newly installed hard drives. There is no 

need to turn off the server during the 

process. 

You can upgrade the disk configuration to 

higher RAID level with the data retained. 

There is no need to turn off the server 

during the process. 

For small business, a high-performance and flexible storage expansion solution 

for the existing application servers is required. However, DAS (Direct Attached 

Storage) is not an efficient solution and a Fiber Channel SAN is too expensive 

and complicated to implement.

The TS-439 Pro can act as a NAS and iSCSI target server at the same time. It 

provides a cost-efficient iSCSI solution to set up an IP-SAN. You can make use of 

the built-in iSCSI target service to add up to 8 iSCSI devices. Different iSCSI 

Target LUNs (Logical Unit Number) can be defined as storage expansion or 

backup destination of the existing application servers, such as database servers 

and mail servers.

The “Virtual Space Allocation” (Thin Provisioning) feature is provided which allows 

you to flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI LUN (Logical Unit Number) at the 

beginning regardless of the physical volume capacity. When the physical storage 

capacity of the volume is going to be full, You can easily expand the storage 

capacity of the NAS by “Online RAID Capacity Expansion”. 

With the built-in phpMyAdmin, Joomla!, editable php.ini, MySQL 

and SQLite, you can easily set up your web server and other 

online applications such as online shops, forums, and blogs.

The Turbo NAS is the most affordable choice as a standalone 

database server. It can be applied as a database server of 

another web server or as an additional backup database server.

The TS-439 Pro’s dominant “volume-based encryption” feature enables you to 

build encrypted disk volumes on the NAS for the first time installation. The disk 

volume is securely protected by AES 256-bit encryption. An encryption key is 

required to unlock the encrypted volume to access the server data. This prevents 

data leakage if the server or the hard drives were stolen.

You can use the handy LCD to finish the first time installation in 3 simple steps. The 

TS-439 Pro will automatically complete the hard disk formatting and RAID building.

All the OS and applications are embedded on the DOM of the TS-439 Pro to 

allow system booting without accessing the physical disk sectors, which 

prevents unsuccessful system startup caused by bad block sectors or file errors 

on the hard drives. Two operating systems are built on the DOM for system 

booting alternatively upon every system startup. When one fails, the other one 

will be used to boot up instead, and the failed OS is recoverable from the other 

healthy OS.

You can connect a USB printer to the NAS to enable network 

printer sharing. The NAS supports up to 3 USB printers.

The NAS supports Hard Disk Drive S.M.A.R.T. (Self-monitoring 

Analysis and Reporting Technology) for you to monitor the hard 

drive condition and prevent potential data loss.

Enable this option to power on the NAS remotely by Wake on 

LAN. Wake on LAN helps you manage your NAS conveniently.

The files deleted from the network shares of the NAS will be 

moved to a particular recycle bin folder. You can restore your 

data anytime in case of unintended file deletion.

The NAS supports batch creation of users and network share 

folders to save your time and effort in user account and folder 

creation.

The embedded HDD HHS technology is provided for disk 

checking and bad blocks scanning of the NAS to secure your 

server data.

1. Policy-based Unauthorized IP Blocking: You can allow, deny or 

auto block specified IP address or network domain which attempts to connect

you can hide or show network share folders.

10. User Authority Management: You can create user ID and password, and 

define the authority and quota for each user.

You can configure the SMTP server and SMSC server settings on 

the NAS in order to receive instant system warning or error 

messages by email or SMS.

The fan rotation speed is automatically adjusted according to the 

server's temperature. You can also define the system 

temperatures to trigger high speed or low speed rotation of the fan.

The backup software, NetBak Replicator, is provided for the NAS users to perform

real-time synchronization or schedule backup from multiple PCs to the NAS.

The data on the Turbo NAS can be backed up to or from another Turbo NAS or 

Rysnc server over the network.

Acronis True Image, CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup, EMC Retrospect, 

Symantec Backup Exec, and LaCie Silverkeeper.

The one touch button can be configured to trigger instant data backup from the

external USB device to the NAS or the other way round (applies to the USB

device connected to the front USB port of the NAS only).

The QPKG software package platform 

enables you to maximize the usage of the 

Turbo NAS by installing additional software 

packages developed by the users and 

community worldwide.
