If you purchased a ReadyNAS storage system without a preinstalled disk drive or drives, you must add at least one disk your system before you 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 drive bay. For information about how to install a disk, see Add a Disk on page 166.
Use only supported SATA hard disk drives (HDD) or solid state drives (SSD) 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 netgear.com/readynas-hcl.
If you are adding a previously formatted disk to your storage system, see the instructions in Previously Formatted Disks on page 165.

|
• Blinking. A disk is active. |
|
• Off. All disks are idle. |
Rear panel Ethernet port |
Two LED status indicators are built into this port, one green and one amber. They |
LEDs |
indicate port speed and activity as follows: |
|
• Green on, amber off. 1000 Mbps connection speed, no activity. |
|
• Green blinking, amber off. 1000 Mbps connection speed, activity. |

This section describes how to power on and shut down your system. If you must shut down the system, use one of the preferred shutdown methods whenever possible.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS 102
19
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems
When you connect the system to a power supply or the system recovers from a power outage, the system returns to its last state:
•If the system was powered on, the system automatically powers on again when the power supply is connected or power is restored.
•If the system was powered off, the system remains off when the power supply is connected or power is restored.
In this situation, press the Power button on the front panel of the system to power on the system.
You can gracefully shut down your system by using the Power button or the ReadyNAS local admin page.
For information about how to gracefully shut down your system using the ReadyNAS local admin page, see the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is available at netgear.com/support/product/ReadyNAS_OS_6.
To gracefully shut down your system using the Power button:
1.Press the Power button.
The Power LED blinks, prompting you to confirm the shutdown.
2.Press the Power button again. The system shuts down gracefully.
Perform a forced shutdown only if the storage system is not responding.
To perform a forced shutdown:
•Unplug the system from the power supply.
Use the boot menu to restart or troubleshoot your ReadyNAS storage system.Your storage system has 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 which all LEDs blink simultaneously.
WARNING:
The factory default reboot process resets the storage system to factory settings, erases all data, resets all defaults, and reformats the disk to X-RAID.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS 102
20
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems
-If you want to cancel the factory default process, power off the storage system before the 10-minute time-out ends. The system powers down safely without causing any data loss.
-If you want to reset the system to factory default settings, do not power off your system. After the 10-minute time-out period, the factory default process begins.
Tip To start the factory default process immediately, press the Backup button during the 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. For more information about viewing the system logs, see the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is available at netgear.com/support/product/ReadyNAS_OS_6.
To access the boot menu:
1.Power off your storage system.
2.Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button.
3.Press the Power button. The system powers on.
4.Continue to press the Reset button until the Power button LED, USB and backup status LED, disk 1 LED, and disk 2 LED light.
5.Press the Backup button to scroll through boot mode options.
The storage system shows the boot mode options using the LEDs, as described in the following table:
