Operating Tips and Precautions

Follow these guidelines to get the best performance and trouble-free operation from your ReadyNAS NVX.

Power Up/Down

Powering up the unit could take about a minute. Power down the unit by pressing the power button on the front twice. This assures an orderly shutdown. For other power down and disk spin-down options, refer to the ReadyNAS NVX User Manual.

Ventilation

Four large capacity high speed disks can produce considerable heat. Be sure to install the unit so that the fan exhausts are unobstructed.

Using a UPS

An uninterruptible power supply protects your ReadyNAS NVX, and can enable automatic shut down in an orderly fashion when there is an interruption in power. The ReadyNAS NVX User Manual provides instructions on using a UPS.

Viewing Status Information in FrontView

The bottom row of the FrontView configuration utility provides color coded status indicators of workgroup connections, disks, the fan, temperature, and UPS (if used).

Double-click on a status light to view details about that item.

Redundancy and Expansion

A one-disk device has no redundancy and provides no protection from a disk failure. However, if and when you feel the need for redundancy, simply hot-add a new disk with at least the capacity of the first disk (there’s no need to power off the ReadyNAS NVX). Depending on the size of the disk, within a few hours, your data volume will be fully redundant. The process occurs in the background, so access to the ReadyNAS NVX is not interrupted. Additionally, as your storage requirement grows, you can hot add more disks for “horizontal” expansion, or replace your disks with larger capacity ones, and X-RAID2 automatically and incrementally expands your storage “vertically.” X-RAID2 lets you do this without reformatting your disks and shuffling your data back and forth.
