Chapter 1: Introduction 
Overview 
Thank you for choosing the Thecus N5200PRO IP Storage Server. The Thecus 
N5200 is an easy-to-use storage server that allows a dedicated approach to 
storing and distributing data on a network. Data reliability is ensured with RAID 
features that provide data security and recovery—over one Terabyte of storage is 
available using RAID 5 and RAID 6. Gigabit Ethernet ports enhance network 
efficiency, allowing the N5200PRO to take over file management functions, 
increase application and data sharing and provide faster data response. The 
N5200PRO offers data mobility with a disk roaming feature that lets you hot swap 
working hard drives for use in another N5200PRO, securing the continuity of data 
in the event of hardware failure. The N5200PRO allows data consolidation and 
sharing between Windows (SMB/CIFS), UNIX/Linux, and Apple OS X 
environments. The N5200PRO’s user-friendly GUI supports multiple languages.
