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)

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

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.

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. Contact a NETGEAR technical support representative to interpret memory test results.
• 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.

ReadyNAS OS 6
Align the disk screw holes with the drive tray pins and adjust until the pins are seated in the holes.

Supported Disks

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.

Previously Formatted Disks

You can use previously formatted disks with your ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system, but you might need to reformat them or migrate a volume to the new system first.
Previously formatted disks must appear on the NETGEAR Hardware Compatibility List, which is available at http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.

Reformat Previously Formatted Disks

If you want to use disks that were previously formatted for an operating system other than ReadyNAS OS 6 (for example, Windows or RAIDiator), you must reformat the disks.
If you want to use disks from another ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system, see Migrate a Volume on page 73.
If you try to use previously formatted disks in a system that does not contain any other
Note
disks, the system does not boot and ReadyCLOUD does not discover your device. If you use RAIDar to discover your device, RAIDar displays a Corrupt Root error message. If you try to use previously formatted disks in a system that already contains usable disks, the system does not reformat or use the previously formatted disks. Any data on the previously formatted disks remains intact.
Disks
72
Page 73
ReadyNAS OS 6
The following instructions describe how to reformat previously f ormatted disks in a ReadyNAS OS 6 system. This procedure assumes that the system does not contain any other disks.
To reformat previously formatted disks with a diskless ReadyNAS OS 6 system:
1. Gracefully shut down the storage system.
For information about how to gr acefully shut do wn y our system, see the Preferred Shutdown section of the chapter that describes your system.
2. Install the disk.
For more information, see Add a Disk on page 74.
3. Reset the system to its factory default settings.
WARNING:
This process erases all data and reformats all disks into a single X-RAID volume. If you want to preserve the data on the disks, you must back up the data to an external drive before using the disks in your ReadyNAS storage system.
For information about how to reset the system to its f actory default settings , see the Boot Men u section of the chapter that describes your system.
The disk is reformatted and becomes available for use with your ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system.

Migrate a Volume

You can migrate a volume from one ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system to another, as long as you migrate every disk in the volume. For example, if you want to migrate a volume that contains two disks, you must add both disks to the new system. If you add only part of a volume to the new system, the system recognizes the disk as a degraded volume.
If your ReadyNAS storage system is operating with one or more disks, you can add disks while the system is running.The new system recognizes the migrated volume and its data. For more inf ormation about adding a disk while the system is running, see Add a Disk on page 74.
If no disks are installed on your ReadyNAS, perform the following procedure.
To migrate a volume to a diskless ReadyNAS OS 6 system:
1. Gracefully shut down the new (diskless) storage system.
For information about how to gr acefully shut do wn y our system, see the Preferred Shutdown section of the chapter that describes your system.
2. Remove each disk in the volume from the old system.
3. Install each disk in the volume into the new storage system.
For more information, see Add a Disk on page 74.
4. Turn on the new system by pressing the Power button.
The new system recognizes the migrated volume and its data.

Replace a Disk

If your volumes use a protected RAID configuration, your system can recover from the failure of a disk. When you replace the failed disk, the system rebuilds the volume using the new disk and no data from the volume is lost.
Each disk tray includes a Fault LED that lights solid red when its disk fails.You can also use the local admin page to set up email alerts that notify you when a disk fails. In addition, the local admin page provides information about the failed disk.
For information about RAID configurations, setting up email alerts, and using the local admin page, see the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is av ailable at http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.
ReadyNAS supports hot-swap drive bays, so you do not need to power down your storage system when replacing a disk.
If you are replacing a disk with a previously formatted disk, see the instructions in Previously Formatted
Disks on page 72.
