Step 7: Administrator Settings

Please  set  the  administrator  password  and  complete  the  administrator  security  mailbox  (this  is  used  for 
administrator authentication) (Note: It is extremely important that you take care when completing this step. 
If the administrator loses their password, completing the administrator security mailbox will allow them to 
reset their password). Afterwards, click 

“Send Code”

, and the security mailbox will receive an email with a 

verification code. Please log in to the security mailbox in order to obtain your code, and then complete the 
administrator settings.

Step 8: Create RAID

Please select the RAID type, and then select the hard drive you intend to use to create RAID and click 

Confirm

There are two file systems to choose from: EXT 4 and Btrfs. The system default file format is Btrfs. If you need 
to  modify  the  file  format,  go  to  the  control  panel  of  TOS.  When  the  RAID  has  been  created,  hard  drive 
formatting will occur. Therefore, please back your data up in advance (Note: Please take a moment to wait for 
hard drive formatting to finish. When you see “Congratulations! Initialisation is complete!”, this indicates 
that your TNAS is ready for use).
