Basic Setup

After you follow these instructions, your ReadyNAS is ready to use in a production environment. Setup takes approximately 15 minutes.
To set up your storage system:
1. Install all available disks that you want to use in your ReadyNAS
system.
Note: If you are using previously formatted disks that contain
data, you must reformat these disks before continuing. See
Reformat Disks on page 7.
For a list of supported disks, see the Hardware Compatibility List at http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.
For information about installing disks, see the hardware manual for your system.
2. Place your system in a location that provides adequate
ventilation.
High-capacity disks can produce considerable heat. It is important to ensure that the fan exhausts are unobstructed.
For a complete list of placement considerations, see the hardware manual for your system.
3. Connect the power adapter to the power cord.
4. Connect the power adapter to the back of the system and plug
the power cord into a wall outlet or power strip.
5. Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on the
storage system to your network.
6. If necessary, press the Power button to turn on the system.
7. Wait for the Power LED to turn solid blue or for the status
display screen to display the system’s IP address.
