Basic Setup

After you follow these instructions, your ReadyNAS is ready to use in a production environment. Setup takes approximately 15 minutes.

?? To set up your storage system:

1. Install all available disks that you want to use in your ReadyNAS system. Note: If you are using previously formatted disks that contain data, you must reformat these disks before continuing. See Reformat Disks on page 9.

For a list of supported disks, see the Hardware Compatibility List at readynas-hcl.

For information about installing disks, see the hardware manual for your system or visit .

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.
