 ### NFS Setup
-In NFS, files are physically stored on a server machine, and trials on the client machine can read/write those files in the same way that they access local files.
+NFS follows the Client-Server Architecture, with an NFS server providing physical storage, trials on the remote machine with an NFS client can read/write those files in the same way that they access local files.
 
-#### Install NFS on server machine
-First, install NFS server:
+#### NFS Server
+An NFS server can be any machine as long as it can provide enough physical storage, and network connection with **remote machine** for NNI trials. Usually you can choose one of the remote machine as NFS Server.
+
+On Ubuntu, install NFS server through `apt-get`:
 ```bash
 sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
 ```
 Suppose `/tmp/nni/shared` is used as the physical storage, then run:
 ```bash
-sudo mkdir -p /tmp/nni/shared
+mkdir -p /tmp/nni/shared
 sudo echo "/tmp/nni/shared *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)" >> /etc/exports
 sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart
 ```
 You can check if the above directory is successfully exported by NFS using `sudo showmount -e localhost`
 
-#### Install NFS on client machine
-First, install NFS client:
+#### NFS Client
+For a trial on remote machine able to access shared files with NFS, an NFS client needs to be installed. For example, on Ubuntu:
 ```bash
 sudo apt-get install nfs-common
 ```
 Then create & mount the mounted directory of shared files:
 ```bash
-sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nfs/nni/
+mkdir -p /mnt/nfs/nni/
 sudo mount -t nfs 10.10.10.10:/tmp/nni/shared /mnt/nfs/nni
 ```
 where `10.10.10.10` should be replaced by the real IP of NFS server machine in practice.
