Install DSM on RackStation
After hardware setup is finished, please install DiskStation Manager (DSM) – a browser-based operating system
specifically designed for Synology NAS.
We highly recommend using Synology’s
Web Assistant
to install DSM with a web browser. Synology Web
Assistant can automatically download the latest software from the Internet and guide you through installation.
