Additional Documentation
For detailed information about configuring, managing, and using your ReadyNAS storage
system, see the ReadyNAS OS 6.2 Software Manual, which is available 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 environment might be greater
than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in
an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature. See
A, Defaults and Technical Specifications.
• Reduced airflow. Mount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Appendix
• 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 overloading of circuits might create on overcurrent
protection and power 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.

Power State
If the power supply is interrupted due to a power failure, the system returns to its last state
once the power supply is restored, as follows:
• If the system was powered on at the time of the power failure, the system powers on
when the power supply is restored.
• If the system was powered off at the time of the power failure, the system remains off
when the power supply is restored.
Boot Menu
Use the boot menu to restart or troubleshoot your ReadyNAS storage system. Your 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 reformats
the disk to X-RAID.
Note: To start the factory default process immediately, press the Reset
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.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems
Power State
If the power supply is interrupted due to a power failure, the system returns to its last state
once the power supply is restored, as follows:
• If the system was powered on at the time of the power failure, the system powers on
when the power supply is restored.
• If the system was powered off at the time of the power failure, the system remains off
when the power supply is restored.
Boot Menu
Use the boot menu to restart or troubleshoot your ReadyNAS storage system. Your 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 reformats
the disk to X-RAID.
Note: To start the factory default process immediately, press the Reset
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. During the test the Health LED and the UI LED illuminate
alternately . If a memory error is found, the Health LED and UI LED blink at the same time.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems
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
This section describes how to use previously formatted disks with your ReadyNAS OS 6
storage system.
Previously formatted disks must appear on the NETGEAR Hardware Compatibility List,
which is available at
Reformat Previously Formatted Disks
http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.
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 40.
Note: If you try to use previously formatted disks in a system that does not
contain any other 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.
The following instructions describe how to reformat previously formatted 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 gracefully shut down your 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 41.
Disks
39
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems
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 factory default settings, see the Boot
Menu 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 information about adding a disk while the system is running, see
Add a Disk on
page 41.
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 gracefully shut down your 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 41.
4. Turn on the new system by pressing the Power button.

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, using the local admin
page, see the ReadyNAS OS 6.2 Software Manual, which is available 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 39.
WARNING:
Replace one disk at a time. Wait for the volume to resynchronize
your data before replacing another disk. If you attempt to replace
more than one disk at a time, the system crashes.

Electrical Safety Precautions
Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the ReadyNAS
from damage:
• Be aware of the locations of the Power On/Off switch on the chassis as well as the
room’s emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet. If an
electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.
• Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.
• Always disconnect power from the system when removing or installing main system
components, such as the main board or memory modules. When disconnecting power
first power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords
of all the power supply storage systems in the system.
• When working around exposed electrical circuits, ensure that another person who is
familiar with the power-of

• Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that were specifically designed as electrical
insulators.
• Use only power supply cords that include a grounding plug and plug them into grounded
electrical outlets.
General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
• Keep the area around the ReadyNAS clean and free of clutter
• See the technical specifications in this manual for details about your specific ReadyNAS
storage systems.
• The ReadyNAS weighs approximately 82 pounds when fully loaded. When lifting the
system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute
the weight.
• Place the chassis top cover and any system components that were removed away from
the system or on a table so that they will not accidentally be stepped on.
• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled
into a cooling fan.
• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body

are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your
equipment from ESD:
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready
for use.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which might retain a
charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
modules, or contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the main board and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure that your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners, and the main
board.
• After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the
rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections were made.
Rack-Mount Precautions
Follow these rack-mount precautions:
• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with
the full weight of the rack resting on them.
• In single-rack installations, make sure stabilizers are attached to the rack. In multiple-rack
installations, make sure the racks are coupled together.
• Always make sure that the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
• Extend only one component at a time; extending two or more simultaneously might cause
the rack to become unstable.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
• Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the ReadyNAS from
power surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power
failure.
• Allow any hot-plug drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
• Always keep the rack’s front door and all panels and components on the servers closed
when not servicing them to maintain proper cooling.
