1 0 Click [Management] - next to [Name/Time/Language] - [Time] - [Edit], then congure the TeraStation's clock
with the Web Admin interface.
Notes:
• By default, the TeraStation adjusts its clock automatically by using an NTP server. The internal clocks of the
TeraStation and other devices on your network may run at slightly different speeds. Over a long period of time
your network devices may show somewhat different times, which can cause network problems. If clocks on
your network vary by more than 5 minutes it may cause unexpected behavior. For best results, keep all clocks
on the network set to the same time by adjusting them regularly, or use an NTP server to correct them all
automatically.
• NTP may not be usable in some networks. The default NTP Server (ntp.jst.mfeed.ad.jp) belongs to Internet Multi
Feed Inc. For more information, please visit www.jst.mfeed.ad.jp. Use NTP at your own risk. Buffalo Technology is
not responsible for any loss or damage caused by using of this service, stopping the service, or missing service.
• If the TeraStation cannot automatically obtain the time from an NTP server, check the TeraStation's DNS server
address settings. If the NTP server is specified by a hostname instead of an IP address, a DNS server address

13
must be set in [Network] - [IP Address] of the Web Admin interface.
1 1 To congure a RAID scan, click [Drives], then change the icon next to [RAID Scanning] from -> .
Note:
RAID scans check RAID arrays to conrm that they can be read properly and have no bad sectors. If any problems
are found, they will be repaired automatically.

2. Connect a USB memory device (not included) with 1 GB or larger to a USB 2.0 port on the TeraStation.
3. Select [Create a special USB drive for password recovery]. This recovery USB drive will also reset the TeraStation's
administrator password to its default.
4. Select the connected USB memory device, then click [Execute].
To return the TeraStation to the default settings using the created USB memory device, see "Recovering by
Changing the Boot Mode Switch on the Rear Panel When Starting the TeraStation" in Chapter 9.
