Getting to Know Your WD Sentinel DX4200 Server
Congratulations on your purchase of the WD Sentinel DX4200 Windows Storage Server.
Your WD Sentinel DX4200 device delivers a reliable, easy-to-deploy and manage storage
server designed for small business or workgroup environments. The
WD Sentinel DX4200 Storage Server provides secure centralized storage and seamlessly
integrates within almost any existing infrastructure.
Your WD Sentinel DX4200 features an easy-to-use WD StorCentral Dashboard, hard drives
optimized for reliability, quality, and performance, an Intel Atom dual-core processor, and
Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Workgroup.
Key Features
WD StorCentral Dashboard
The WD Sentinel DX4200’s proprietary dashboard includes easy-to-use task wizards for
initial set up and common management tasks like storage configuration. It also provides an
at-a-glance summary of the system status, and manages networking, alerts, registration,
software updates, performance, and health monitoring.
WD enterprise-class hard drives
Equipped with WD Se hard drives that feature high capacity storage, peak performance and
24/7 datacenter-caliber reliability.
Seamless Integration
The WD Sentinel DX4200 easily integrates into workgroups, Active Directory, and most other
environments. Within the Active Directory environment, Microsoft’s Server Manager offers a
single view of all servers joined to the domain.
Security
WD Sentinel DX4200 has multiple layers of security. Beginning with physical security, the
WD Sentinel DX4200 has a bezel lock to prevent hard drives from being removed from the
system. It also includes a Kensington-style lock slot to secure the DX4200 to a desk. Upon
power up, the BIOS creates a secure UEFI boot environment. This prevents unauthorized
access to your company data by preventing booting from root kits. The Windows Storage
Server 2012 R2 Workgroup also contains layers of security. The WD Sentinel DX4200 can
manage users locally with multiple levels of access, and can be fully integrated into and
existing Active Directory.
