5. Reset Button. If the NAS drive is having a problem connecting to the local area
network (LAN) or appears to be hung, press the reset button momentarily using the end
of a paper clip. This will cause the unit to reset, similar to rebooting your PC. If the
problem persists, or if you are unsure of current settings (such as forgetting your
administration password), press and hold in the Reset button for 5 seconds. This will
restore the factory default settings.
6. Fan. The fan is designed to turn on for added cooling whenever the internal
temperature rises above the thermal set point. To allow for adequate air flow take
care not to block the air vents. Since the spinning disk will generate heat even when
no data is being transferred, you can help to prevent the fan from remaining on
needlessly by shortening the disk spin-down time (see later under NAS
Administration Reference / Advanced / Maintenance / Disk Utility).
About the Hard Disk
The NAS drive internal hard disk comes pre-formatted in EXT2 format for immediate use
for network storage.
Note:
Capacity dependent on model. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes/1 GB = 1,000,000,000
bytes/1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Some capacity used for pre-loaded software,
formatting and other functions, and thus is not available for data storage. As a result,
and due to differing calculation methods, your operating systems may report as fewer
megabytes/gigabytes/terabytes.
Your product’s hard drive is a complex electronic storage system and should be handled
with care, as you might treat a sensitive portable computer or other state-of-the-art
consumer electronics product. Do not subject it to shock, high temperatures, or strong
magnetic fields.
To extend the useful life of your NAS drive, turn the unit OFF when not in use.
