process will take several minutes. Make sure not to interrupt it in any way and wait until it is
finished completely.
11. Once the process has completed, a message will pop up to confirm that it is finished. Click
OK to close the dialog and wait for the system to restart. It will restart even if the dialog box
has not yet been closed. Once the NAS is ready, the green system LED will light up.
Note
It is only necessary to initialize the system prior to the first usage, when new hard drives are
installed or when the drives have been reformatted.
Once the system is connected to the internet, the firmware will be kept up to date automatically.
When updating it manually via discover tool, make sure to backup your data on another drive first!
To initialize the NAS system again when the firmware has already been installed, enter the flash
mode first, before initializing it. To enter the flash mode, press and hold the reset button when the
device is turned off. Turn on the power and release the reset button once the HDD 1 LED lights up
red (~ 2 seconds). After the system has started up, the green system LED will be flashing and it
will be possible to initialize the system again.
