ReadyNAS 3100 Hardware Manual
Using the Boot Menu to Format a RAID Volume
WARNING!
Using the Factory Default boot menu option will erase all the data
on the hard disks. Do a full backup before using the Factory
Default option.
The ReadyNAS comes preconfigured in Expandable Volume (X-RAID2) mode. You can
switch between X-RAID2 and the Flexible Volume mode (Flex-RAID) if you want to manually
configure standard RAID (ie., RAID levels 0, 1, or 5). For a brief overview of X-RAID2 and
Flex-RAID, see the
ReadyNAS for Business Software Manual
.
To reconfigure your RAID setup:
1.
Power off the ReadyNAS unit.
2.
While using a paper clip or push pin to gently press in the reset switch, power on the unit,
wait for the boot menu on the front to display, then release the reset switch.
3.
Push the
Reset
button on the front panel two times to select the
Factory Default
option
.
The system will do the following:
a.
Display the Factory Default blink pattern.
b.
Hold the display of the final LEDs in the pattern (on on), and wait for you to confirm
the selection.
4.
Press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds to confirm the menu selection and proceed
with that option.
