When TeraStation shared folders suddenly do not open
If the TeraStation shared folder is assigned and used as a network drive, access to the TeraStation may suddenly fail
if network settings such as IP addresses or groups are changed. If this happens, follow the procedure in chapter 2 to
open the TeraStation's shared folder with NAS Navigator2.
If you are unable to access the shared folder or the system is unstable
This usually happens because too many software applications are running in Windows Storage Server, causing
a memory shortage. Exit or uninstall some of the software running in Windows Storage Server, then restart the
TeraStation.
Windows Storage Server Recovery Procedure
If Windows Storage Server no longer functions properly, perform recovery using the supplied SD card.
This recovery procedure erases your data. Backing up regularly is highly recommended to avoid losing your
important data.
Do not connect the SD card to another TeraStation or your computer. The recovery process that involves using this
SD card is intended for this product only.
Recovery is performed by deleting the area for drive 1, setting up a new 100 GB (Basic Disk/Simple) area, and
then copying the Windows Storage Server image to this area.
Note:
If there are system areas (or mirrored locations) on hard drives other than drive 1, be sure to delete
the system areas (or disable the mirrored locations) before performing the recovery procedure. If recovery is
performed without deleting these areas, Windows Storage Server may not run after recovery is performed.
If Windows Storage Server fails to run, turn off the TeraStation and perform the recovery procedure again while all
hard drives except for drive 1 (disk 0) are disconnected. After recovery is complete, reconnect the disconnected
drives, which will appear in "Disk Management" as "Foreign". In "Disk Management", right-click
Foreign
, select
Import Foreign Disks
, then right-click this area and click
Reactivate Volume
to rebuild the RAID array.
1
Turn off the TeraStation, following the procedure in "Turning the TeraStation On and Off" in chapter 1.
2
Insert the SD card into the card reader (not included).
3
Connect the card reader to the TeraStation using a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port.
4
Set the boot mode switch to "USB", then press the power button.
This executes the recovery process.
5
The TeraStation shuts down automatically when the recovery process is complete.
6
Remove the card reader, set the boot mode switch to "HDD", and press the power button.
When the initial setup is complete, the TeraStation will reboot into Windows Storage Server.
After the recover process is completed, the TeraStation is set to the state below when running under default
settings.
•
Drive 1
100 MB (EFI System partition)
100 GB (Basic Disk/Simple)
The remaining space is an unallocated area.
•
Drives 2 to 6
The data on the drives cannot be viewed. They appear as a "Foreign" in "Disk Management".
