Additional Documentation
For detailed information about configuring, managing, and using your ReadyNAS storage system, see the
ReadyNAS OS 6.5 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 r ac k en vironment might be greater than the ambient temper ature
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 90.
•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 possib le overloading of circuits might create on ov ercurrent 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.
Supported Operating Systems
The ReadyNAS storage system is supported on the following systems:
•Microsoft Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit)
•Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32 and 64 bit)
•Microsoft Windows 8 (32 and 64 bit)

Diskless Storage System
If you purchased a ReadyNAS storage system without a preinstalled disk drive or drives, you must add at
least one disk to your system before you use the system.You can add a 3.5-inch hard disk drive , a 2.5-inch
hard disk drive, or a 2.5-inch solid-state drive to an empty disk bay. For information about how to install a
disk, see Add a Disk on page 65.
Use only supported SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) in your ReadyNAS storage
system. If you use disks that are not supported, NETGEAR technical support will not provide assistance.
For a list of supported disks, see the NETGEAR Hardware Compatibility List at
http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.

IMPORTANT:
To maintain adequate airflow, follow these precautions concerning disk trays:
•Make sure that all disk trays remain in the drive bays, even if no disk is
installed in the tray.
•Install the plastic air blocker in empty disk trays.
RR4360 storage systems use a different, tool-less tray.
Disks
62
ReadyNAS OS 6
Align the disk screw holes with the drive tray pins and adjust until the pins are seated in the holes.
Supported Disks
Use only supported SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) in your ReadyNAS storage
system. If you use disks that are not supported, NETGEAR technical 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 64.
If you try to use previously f ormatted disks in a system that does not contain any other
disks, the system does not boot and ReadyCLOUD does not disco ver your device. If
you use RAIDar to discover your device, RAIDar displays a "Corrupt Root" error
message.
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.
Note
Disks
63
ReadyNAS OS 6
The following instructions describe how to reformat previously f ormatted 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.
F or information about how to g r acefully shut do wn y our 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 65.
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.
F or inf ormation about how to reset the system to its factory def ault 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 y ou add only part of a volume to the new system, the system recognizes
the disk as a degraded volume.
If your ReadyNAS stor age system is oper ating with one or more disks, you can add disks while the system
is running.The new system recognizes the migr ated volume and its data. F or more information about adding
a disk while the system is running, see Add a Disk on page 65.
If no disks are installed on your ReadyNAS, perform the following procedure.
To migrate a volume to a diskless ReadyNAS OS 6 system:
1. Gracefully shut down the new (diskless) storage system.
F or information about how to g r acefully shut do wn y our system, see the Preferred Shutdown section of
the chapter that describes your system.
2. Remove each disk in the volume from the old system.
3. Install each disk in the volume into the new storage system.
For more information, see Add a Disk on page 65.
4. Turn on the new system by pressing the Power button.

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 On/Off switch on the chassis as well as the room's emergency
power-off s witch, disconnection s witch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, y ou 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 remo ving 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, ensure 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 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 f or 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.
•While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleev es,
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.

ReadyNAS OS 6
Installing the on-board battery upside down, which reverses its polarities, creates a
risk of explosion.Take care to install the battery correctly.
Note
•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 diff erent electrical charges coming into contact
with each other . An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this diff erence, 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.
•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:
•Ensure that the le veling jac ks on the bottom of the rack are fully e xtended 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.
Defaults and Technical Specifications
104
ReadyNAS OS 6
•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.
