The NAS Controller Unit Boot Process
Upon powering up the unit, the status LED will blink at first between bright and
dim, then remain dark for a few moments, then begin to blink between bright
and dark for a while and finally settle down to glowing steadily. Once this
pattern is complete the unit is ready to communicate.
This process normally takes about a minute or less, but may take longer
depending on the complexity of the configuration, storage and LAN
connections. With the 240 possible file systems, booting may take several
minutes or longer.
Resetting the NAS Controller
Should a problem arise with the NAS Controller or its configuration, the unit
may be reset simply by turning the unit off, then back on after a few moments. If
this doesn't clear the problem, the unit may be returned to its factory
configuration by gently pressing and holding the reset button between the
power and LAN connectors until the Status LED blinks slowly, then rapidly. After
releasing the Reset button while blinking slowly there will be no changes. After
releasing the button once the Status LED blinks rapidly, the Status LED will
continue to blink for a while, and may possibly glow steadily for a while as well.
Eventually it will begin the boot process, beginning with blinking between bright
and dim. Once the boot process is complete and the LED is glowing steadily
again, all settings will have been cleared and the unit is ready to communicate
with all settings reset to the factory default – including the network and device
name settings.
If the process appears to become stuck or takes too long to complete, you can
try disconnecting power, then reconnect and after the Status LED blinks bright
and dark a few times, try the Reset button again.
RAID Mode Switches M2, M1, M0 (SW1:3 – SW1-5)
The RAID Mode switches define what type of RAID will be initialized when the
unit is powered up while the RAID Mode button is held down, as follows:
NOTES:
1. Audible Alarm is recommended at all times.
2. EZ mode has no effect when no array is defined.
3. Disabling EZ for RAID 0 and LARGE is strongly recommended.
