Installing a Disk Drive 

If you purchased a NETGEAR Stora with no disk drives, or with only one installed 

drive, and you want to add a second drive for redundancey, carefully follow these 

instructions. 

IMPORTANT!   

The second drive must be the same size as the first drive. 

You can insert a second disk drive into the Stora without turning the unit off. The 

Stora automatically detects the second drive and builds it as a “mirror drive.”

To add or remove a disk drive:

1.   

Remove the front cover of your Stora unit. 
If you are replacing a drive, unlock it by 
pulling down the latch on the back of the 
unit. This releases the hard drive from the 
locked position.

2.   

Insert the new hard drive. 

a.  

The label on the drive needs to face the 

outside of the unit.

b.  

Slide the disk into place in either slot 

until it locks.

c.  

Replace the front cover.

3.   

The green LED on the front of the Stora 

blinks continuously until the installed drive 

build process is complete.

WARNING!!   

Stora formats hard drives differently than a computer does.  

DO NOT swap hard drives between a Stora and a computer,  
or your data will be lost. 

Troubleshooting 

•    

CD error message

. An error message could display if 1) the Power LED is 

not solid blue, 2) the Ethernet cables are not securely connected, or 3) your 

computer is behind a firewall. 

•    

Check the LEDs to verify correct operation.

 When powered on, the blue 

Power button light is on. Green LEDs labeled 1 and 2 indicate which hard 

drive is installed and detected. If the drive LED is amber, turn off the Stora 

unit, and then turn it on again. 

•    

Turn off your Stora correctly. 

To turn off your Stora, press the Power 

button until the blue LED blinks (about 5 seconds).

•    

Verify the Ethernet connection

. Make sure that your Ethernet cable is 

securely connected to your router and to the Stora, and the LEDs on the 

back of the Stora are lit.

•    

Turn off your firewall.

 Make sure that the computer accessing the Stora 

does not have its firewall turned on. See the 

NETGEAR® Stora User Manual

 

on the 

Resource CD 

for information about turning off the firewall.
