manual describes the physical features of the ReadyNAS OS 6 rack-mount storage
system.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Additional Documentation
• Setup Location
• Supported Operating Systems
• Supported Browsers
• Diskless Storage System
Note: For more information about the topics that are covered in this manual, visit the
support website at http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.

Additional Documentation
For detailed information about configuring, managing, and using your ReadyNAS
storage system, see the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is available at
http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.
For additional product support information, visit
http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.
Setup Location
Your ReadyNAS storage system is intended for installation in a restricted access location
(dedicated equipment rooms, service closets, and the like) only.
Keep the following considerations in mind as you install your system:
•Ambient operating temperature. If the system is installed in a closed or multiunit
rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment might
be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consider installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient
temperature. See Defaults and Technical Specifications on page 109.
•Reduced airflow. Mount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation is not compromised.
•Mechanical loading. Mount the equipment into a rack so that a hazardous condition
does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
•Circuit overloading. Consider the equipment's connection to the power supply
circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might create on
overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate
ratings when addressing this concern.
•Reliable grounding. This product requires reliable grounding to be maintained at
all times. To ensure this, ground the rack itself. Pay particular attention to power
supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (for
example, the use of power strips).
•Clearance. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (about 25 inches) to enable
you to open the front door completely and in the back of the rack (about 30 inches)
to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

ReadyNAS OS 6
Boot Menu
Use the boot menu to restart or troubleshoot your ReadyNAS storage system. Your
storage system provides the following boot modes:
•Normal. Initiates a normal boot process, just like booting using the Power button.
•Factory default. Initiates a short disk test that takes approximately 5 minutes. After
the disk test, a 10-minute time-out period begins. During the 10-minute time-out
period, you can choose to power off the storage system without causing any data
loss, and the factory default process is canceled. If you choose not to power off the
storage system, after the 10-minute time-out period, the factory default process
begins.
WARNING: The factory default reboot process resets the storage system to factory
settings, erases all data, resets all defaults, and reformats the disk to X-RAID.
Note: To start the factory default process immediately, press the Reset button during
the 10-minute time-out period.
•OS reinstall. Reinstalls the firmware from the internal flash to the disks. Use the OS
reinstall boot mode when the system crashes and corrupts some configuration files.
OS reinstall boot mode also resets some settings on your storage system, such as
Internet protocol settings and the administrator password, to defaults.
•Tech support. Boots into a low-level diagnostic mode. Use the tech support boot
mode only when a NETGEAR technical support representative instructs you to do
so.
•Volume read only. Mounts a volume as read-only. Use this option when you are
attempting to rescue data off a disk during a disaster recovery.
•Memory test. Performs a memory test. The pass or fail result is reported using the
storage system's LEDs. Contact a NETGEAR technical support representative to
interpret memory test results.
•Test disk. Performs an offline full disk test. This process can take four hours or more,
depending on the size of your disks. Any problems are reported in the system logs,
which you can view using the local admin page. For more information about viewing
the system logs, see the ReadyNAS OS 6.5 Software Manual.
To access the boot menu:
1. Power off your system.
2. Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button.

on when the power supply is restored.
Hardware Manual25ReadyNAS 2304
ReadyNAS OS 6
•If the system was powered off at the time of the power failure, the system remains
off when the power supply is restored.
Boot Menu
Use the boot menu to restart or troubleshoot your ReadyNAS storage system. Your
storage system provides the following boot modes:
•Normal. Initiates a normal boot process, just like booting using the Power button.
•Factory default. Initiates a short disk test that takes approximately 5 minutes. After
the disk test, a 10-minute time-out period begins. During the 10-minute time-out
period, you can choose to power off the storage system without causing any data
loss, and the factory default process is canceled. If you choose not to power off the
storage system, after the 10-minute time-out period, the factory default process
begins.
WARNING: The factory default reboot process resets the storage system to factory
settings, erases all data, resets all defaults, and reformats the disk to X-RAID.
Note: To start the factory default process immediately, press the Reset button during
the 10-minute time-out period.
•OS reinstall. Reinstalls the firmware from the internal flash to the disks. Use the OS
reinstall boot mode when the system crashes and corrupts some configuration files.
OS reinstall boot mode also resets some settings on your storage system, such as
Internet protocol settings and the administrator password, to defaults.
•Tech support. Boots into a low-level diagnostic mode. Use the tech support boot
mode only when a NETGEAR technical support representative instructs you to do
so.
•Volume read only. Mounts a volume as read-only. Use this option when you are
attempting to rescue data off a disk during a disaster recovery.
•Memory test. Performs a memory test. The pass or fail result is reported using the
storage system's LEDs. During the test the Health LED and the UI LED light alternately.
If a memory error is found, the Health LED and UI LED blink at the same time.
•Test disk. Performs an offline full disk test. This process can take four hours or more,
depending on the size of your disks. Any problems are reported in the system logs,
which you can view using the local admin page. For more information about viewing
the system logs, see the ReadyNAS OS 6.5 Software Manual, which is available at

Support will not provide assistance. For a list of supported disks, see the NETGEAR
Hardware Compatibility List at http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.
Previously Formatted Disks
You can use previously formatted disks with your ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system, but
you might need to reformat them or migrate a volume to the new system first.
Previously formatted disks must appear on the NETGEAR Hardware Compatibility List,
which is available at http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.
Reformat Previously Formatted Disks
If you want to use disks that were previously formatted for an operating system other
than ReadyNAS OS 6 (for example, Windows or RAIDiator), you must reformat the disks.
If you want to use disks from another ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system, see Migrate a
Volume on page 81.

Note: If you try to use previously formatted disks in a system that already contains
usable disks, the system does not reformat or use the previously formatted disks. Any
data on the previously formatted disks remains intact.
The following instructions describe how to reformat previously formatted disks in a
ReadyNAS OS 6 system. This procedure assumes that the system does not contain any
other disks.
To reformat previously formatted disks with a diskless ReadyNAS OS 6 system:
1. Gracefully shut down the storage system.
For information about how to gracefully shut down your system, see the Preferred
Shutdown section of the chapter that describes your system.
2. Install the disk.
For more information, see Add a Disk on page 82.
3. Reset the system to its factory default settings.
WARNING: This process erases all data and reformats all disks into a single X-RAID
volume. If you want to preserve the data on the disks, you must back up the data to
an external drive before using the disks in your ReadyNAS storage system.
For information about how to reset the system to its factory default settings, see the
Boot Menu section of the chapter that describes your system.
The disk is reformatted and becomes available for use with your ReadyNAS OS 6
storage system.
Migrate a Volume
You can migrate a volume from one ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system to another, as long
as you migrate every disk in the volume. For example, if you want to migrate a volume
that contains two disks, you must add both disks to the new system. If you add only part
of a volume to the new system, the system recognizes the disk as a degraded volume.
If your ReadyNAS storage system is operating with one or more disks, you can add disks
while the system is running. The new system recognizes the migrated volume and its
data. For more information about adding a disk while the system is running, see Add a
Disk on page 82.
If no disks are installed on your ReadyNAS, perform the following procedure.

Replace a Disk
If your volumes use a protected RAID configuration, your system can recover from the
failure of a disk. When you replace the failed disk, the system rebuilds the volume using
the new disk and no data from the volume is lost.
Each disk tray includes a Fault LED that lights solid red when its disk fails. You can also
use the local admin page to set up email alerts that notify you when a disk fails. In
addition, the local admin page provides information about the failed disk.
For information about RAID configurations, setting up email alerts, and using the local
admin page, see the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is available at

Safety Warnings
1. The equipment contains no operator access areas and is certified for installation
only by trained personnel, according to the installation instructions provided with
each storage system.
2. Install the socket-outlet near the equipment in an easily accessible location.
3. Observe the on-board battery precautions. Follow the battery replacement
instructions explained in Replace the On-Board Battery on page 105.
Danger: Replacing the battery with an incorrect type creates a danger of explosion.
Replace the battery the same or an equivalent type recommended by NETGEAR
only. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Installing the on-board battery upside down, which reverses its polarities, creates a
risk of explosion. Take care to install the battery correctly.
4. Connect the storage systems and their associated LAN connections only to equipment
within the same building.
5. Slide-mounted or rail-mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work
space.

Electrical Safety Precautions
Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the
ReadyNAS from damage:
•Be aware of the locations of the Power switch on the chassis and the room's
emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical
accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.
•Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.
•Always disconnect power from the system when removing or installing main system
components, such as the main board or memory modules. When disconnecting
power, first power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the
power cords of all the power supply storage systems in the system.
•When working around exposed electrical circuits, make sure that another person
who is familiar with the power-off controls is nearby to switch off the power if
necessary.
•Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to
avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme
caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components
or circuit boards that they come into contact with.
•Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that were specifically designed as electrical
insulators.
•Use only power supply cords that include a grounding plug and plug them into
grounded electrical outlets.
General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•Keep the area around the ReadyNAS clean and free of clutter.
•See the technical specifications in this manual for details about your specific
ReadyNAS storage systems.
•The ReadyNAS weighs approximately 82 pounds when fully loaded. When lifting
the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to
distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
•Place the chassis top cover and any system components that were removed away
from the system or on a table so that they will not accidentally be stepped on.
Hardware Manual124Defaults and Technical
Specifications
ReadyNAS OS 6
•While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be
pulled into a cooling fan.
•Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with
printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
•Replace the on-board battery only with the same battery or an equivalent type of
battery recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
Danger: Installing the on-board battery upside down, which reverses its polarities,
creates a risk of explosion. Take care to install the battery correctly.
•Only trained service technicians can replace the self-resetting PTC (positive
temperature coefficient) fuses on the main board, using only new fuses that are the
same as or equivalent to the ones being replaced. Contact Technical Support for
details and support.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges
coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this
difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The
following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact
is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
•Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until
ready for use.
•Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
•Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which might
retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
•Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules, or contacts.
•When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•Put the main board and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
Hardware Manual125Defaults and Technical
Specifications
ReadyNAS OS 6
•For grounding purposes, make sure that your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners, and the
main board.
•After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to
the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections were made.
Rack-Mount Precautions
Follow these rack-mount precautions:
•Make sure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the
floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
•In single-rack installations, make sure that stabilizers are attached to the rack. In
multiple-rack installations, make sure that the racks are coupled together.
•Always make sure that the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
•Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more simultaneously might
cause the rack to become unstable.
•Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
•Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
•Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the ReadyNAS from
power surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
•Allow any hot-plug drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
•Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing them to maintain proper cooling.
