Install Disks

Install at least one, and up to 60, disks before powering on your ReadyNAS for the first time.

If you install previously formatted disks, you must use your ReadyNAS to reformat them the 
first time you power on the system. For information about reformatting disks, see 

Reformat 

Disks

 

on page 10.

Note: 

Reformatting disks deletes all data on the disks.

When you power on your system for the first time or if you reset your system to its 
factory default settings, the optimal RAID mode and level are automatically selected for 
you based on the number of disks that are installed. If desired, you can later change the 
RAID settings manually. For information about RAID settings, including changing RAID 
settings, see the 

ReadyNAS OS 6 Software User Manual

. A link to this manual is available at 

www.netgear.com/support/product/ReadyNAS_OS_6

 or through a link in the product’s user 

interface.

toward the front until you can lift it off.
