1.Connect the network cable to the NAS.

Connect the network cable to the LAN port on the rear of the NAS. Connect the other end to your hub or switch.

2.Connect the USB device to USB port

4.Power on.

Locate the NAS's power switch on the NAS's rear panel. Press it once to power on the NAS.

5.The NAS's self-test.

The NAS will run a brief self-test (2 or 3 seconds). During the self-test, all of the NAS's LEDs will be illuminated or flashing.

6.Booting up.

When the self-test is complete, boot up will start. The Ready LED will blink continuously, and the LAN LED will blink occasionally. Boot up should take approximately 1-3 minutes.

When the Ready LED stops blinking, and remains on, boot up is complete. If the Status (Orange) LED stays on, or if the NAS repeatedly beeps, there is a hardware problem. Consult the Troubleshooting section of this User Guide for possible solutions
