ABSTRACT:
A file server is formed by hard disk drives directly connected to a LAN. When a hard disk drive is started, a file controller sets up a configuration that prevents other network devices from accessing the hard disk drive. This configuration makes the file controller the only network device that can access the hard disk drive, thus ensuring data security.
