1. Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a NETGEAR ReadyNAS® storage system. This manual describes the physical features of the ReadyNAS OS 6 rack-mount storage systems.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Additional Documentation

• Setup Location

• Supported Operating Systems

• Supported Browsers

• Diskless Storage System

NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems

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.

• Microsoft Windows 8

• Microsoft Windows 7

• Apple OS X 10.7 or later

• Linux, UNIX, Solaris

• Apple iOS

• Google Android

Supported Browsers

The ReadyNAS local admin page supports the following browsers:

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 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 disk bay . For information about how to install a disk, see

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

If you are adding a previously formatted disk to your storage system, see the instructions in

Previously Formatted Disks on page 39.

Power On and Shut Down

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.

Power On

 To power on the system:

1. Connect the system to a power supply.

2. Flip the Power switch to the On position.

The Power switch is located on the back panel of the system.

Note: Depending on the system’s last power state, the system might power

on automatically. For more information, see

Power State on page 13.

3. If necessary, press the Power button on the front panel of the system.

The system powers on.

Preferred Shutdown

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 6.2 Software Manual, which is available at

http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.

 To gracefully shut down your system using the Power button:

1. Press the Power button on the front panel of the system.

The Power LED blinks, prompting you to confirm the shutdown.

2. Press the Power button again.

The system shuts down gracefully.

Forced Shutdown

Perform a forced shutdown only if the storage system is not responding.

 To perform a forced shutdown:

Flip the Power switch to the Off position. The Power switch is located on the back panel of the system. The system shuts down.

ReadyNAS 2120 and 2120 v2

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

ReadyNAS 2120 and 2120 v2

NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems

• 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 6.2 Software Manual.

 To access the boot menu:

1. Power of

f your system.

2. Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button.

3. Press the Power button on the front panel of the system.

The system powers on.

4. Continue to press the Reset button for about five seconds until the Power button is solid

green and the Error LED, LAN 1 LED, and LAN 2 LED are blinking.

5. Press and release the Reset button to scroll through the boot mode menu.

Each press and release scrolls forward to the next item in the boot mode menu. The storage system shows the boot mode options using the LEDs, as described in the

following table:
