ReadyNAS Duo v2 and NV+ v2 Setup Location Your ReadyNAS Duo v2 or NV+ v2 is suitable for use in a home or small office environment where it can be freestanding. The small, compact size makes it suitable for sitting on a desk or on a closet shelf. Choose a location for your unit that meets these criteria: • Cables can be connected easily. • Water or moisture cannot enter the case. • Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted.
ReadyNAS Duo v2 and NV+ v2 Diskless Units If you purchased a ReadyNAS storage system without a pre-installed hard disk drive or drives, you must follow this procedure before you use your unit. The following procedure is illustrated with a Duo v2, but the same steps apply for an NV+ v2. To prepare a diskless unit for first use: 1. Obtain at least one hard disk drive that appears on the NETGEAR Hardware Compatibility List. See http://www.readynas.com/hard_disk_hcl.
ReadyNAS Duo v2 and NV+ v2 b. Pull out the disk tray, place the new disk on the tray, and assemble the disk and tray with the screws that came with your unit. Make sure that the hard disk connectors face the interior of the disk bay. c. Slide the disk tray back into the unit and press the handle to secure the disk. 3. Turn the unit on. 4. If you are using previously formatted disks, perform a factory reboot. For more information, see Boot Menu on page 16 and Previously Formatted Disks on page 27.
