ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Basic Installation After you follow these instructions, your ReadyNAS system is ready to use in a production environment. Setup takes approximately 15 minutes. To install your storage system: 1. Install all available disks that you want to use in your storage system. Note: If you are using previously formatted disks that contain data, you must reformat these disks before continuing. For information about formatting disks, see the hardware manual for your system. For a list of supported disks, see the Hardware Compatibility List at http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl. For information about installing disks, see the hardware manual for your system. 2. Place your system in a location that provides adequate ventilation. High-capacity disks can produce considerable heat. It is important to ensure that the fan exhausts are unobstructed. For a complete list of placement considerations, see the hardware manual for your system. 3. Connect the power adapter to the power cord. 4. Connect the power adapter to the back of the system and plug the power cord into a wall outlet or power strip. 5. Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on the storage system to your network. 6. If necessary, press the Power button to turn on the system. 7. Wait for the Power LED to turn solid blue or for the status display screen to display the system's IP address. 8. Use ReadyCLOUD to discover and set up your system on the network.
