Additional Documentation

For detailed information about configuring, managing, and using your ReadyNAS storage system, see the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is av ailable at http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.
For additional product support information, visit http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.

Setup Location

Your ReadyNAS storage system is intended for installation in a restricted access location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets, and the like) only.
Keep the following considerations in mind as you install your system:
Ambient operating temperature. If the system is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the
ambient operating temperature of the rack en vironment might be greater than the ambient temper ature of the room.Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maxim um rated ambient temperature. See Defaults and Technical Specifications on page 100.
Reduced airflow. Mount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation is not compromised.
Mechanical loading. Mount the equipment into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise
due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit overloading. Consider the equipment's connection to the power supply circuitry and the effect
that any possible ov erloading of circuits might create on overcurrent protection and pow er supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
Reliable grounding.This product requires reliable grounding to be maintained at all times.To ensure
this, ground the rack itself. Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips).
Clearance. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (about 25 inches) to enable you to open the
front door completely and in the back of the rack (about 30 inches) to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

Supported Operating Systems

The ReadyNAS storage system is supported on the following systems:
Microsoft Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit)
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32 and 64 bit)
Microsoft Windows 8 (32 and 64 bit)
Microsoft Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit)

Diskless Storage System

If you purchased a ReadyNAS storage system without a preinstalled disk drive or drives, you must add at least one disk to your system before y ou use the system.You can add a 3.5-inch hard disk drive, a 2.5-inch hard disk drive, or a 2.5-inch solid-state drive to an empty disk bay.For information about how to install a disk, see Add a Disk on page 74.
Use only supported SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) in your ReadyNAS storage system. If you use disks that are not supported, NETGEAR technical support will not provide assistance. For a list of supported disks, see the NETGEAR Hardware Compatibility List at
http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.

Boot Menu

Use the boot menu to restart or troubleshoot your ReadyNAS storage system.Y our storage system provides the following boot modes:
Normal. Initiates a normal boot process, just like booting using the Power button.
Factory default. Initiates a short disk test that takes approximately 5 minutes. After the disk test, a
10-minute time-out period begins. During the 10-minute time-out period, you can choose to power off the storage system without causing any data loss, and the factory default process is canceled. If you choose not to power off the storage system, after the 10-minute time-out period, the factory default process begins.
WARNING:
The factory default reboot process resets the storage system to factory settings, erases all data, resets all defaults, and ref ormats the disk to X-RAID .
To start the factory default process immediately, press the Reset button during the
Note
10-minute time-out period.
OS reinstall. Reinstalls the firmware from the internal flash to the disks. Use the OS reinstall boot mode
when the system crashes and corrupts some configuration files. OS reinstall boot mode also resets some settings on your storage system, such as Internet protocol settings and the administrator password, to defaults.
Tech support. Boots into a low-level diagnostic mode. Use the tech support boot mode only when a
NETGEAR technical support representative instructs you to do so.
Volume read only. Mounts a volume as read-only. Use this option when you are attempting to rescue
data off a disk during a disaster recovery.
Memory test. Performs a memory test. The pass or fail result is reported using the storage system's
LEDs. During the test the Health LED and the UI LED light alternately. If a memory error is found, the Health LED and UI LED blink at the same time.
Test disk. Performs an offline full disk test.This process can take four hours or more, depending on
the size of your disks. Any problems are reported in the system logs, which you can view using the local admin page. For more information about viewing the system logs, see the ReadyNAS OS 6.5 Software Manual, which is available at http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.
