Setup an ioSafe 214
This section is for users that purchased their ioSafe 214 preloaded with Hard Drives. If ioSafe preloaded the hard
drives we also preloaded the DiskStation Manager (DSM), a Linux based software package that is the operating
system for the ioSafe 214. DSM is the foundation of the 214, which integrates the basic functions of file sharing
,
centralized backup
,
RAID storage
,
multimedia streaming, virtual storage
,
and much more.
Connect the ioSafe 214 to your Network
1
Use the LAN cable to connect the ioSafe 214 to your switch/router/hub.
2
Connect the AC adapter to the power port of the ioSafe 214. Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC
power adapter, and the other to the power outlet. Insert the plastic cable holder into the slot to retain the power
cord.
3
Press and hold the power button to turn on your DiskStation.
Your ioSafe 214 should now be online and detectable from a network computer.
