Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of a NETGEAR ReadyNAS®storage system.This 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
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 100.
•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.
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)
•Microsoft Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit)
•Microsoft Server 2012 (64 bit)
•Microsoft Server 2008 R2 (64 bit)
•Apple OS X 10.7 or later
•Linux, UNIX, Solaris

ReadyNAS OS 6

•Apple iOS
•Google Android
Supported Browsers
The ReadyNAS local admin page supports the following browsers:
•Microsoft Edge
•Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0 and later
•Apple Safari, 5.0 and later
•Google Chrome 20 and later
•Mozilla Firefox 14 and later
If you experience difficulty accessing the local admin page or if you notice unexpected behavior, try using
another browser.For more information about the ReadyNAS local admin page, see the ReadyNAS OS 6
Software Manual, which is available at http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.
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 74.
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.
If you are adding a previously formatted disk to your storage system, see the instructions in Previously
Formatted Disks on page 72.

Power On and Shut Down
This section describes how to power on and shut down your system.If you must shut down the system, use
one of the preferred shutdown methods whenever possible.
Power On
To power on the system:
1. Connect the system to a power supply.
2. Move the Power switch to the On position.
The Power switch is located on the back panel of the system.
ReadyNAS 2120 and 2120 v2
14
ReadyNAS OS 6

Depending on the system's last power state, the system might power on automatically.
For more information, see Power State on page 15.
Note
3. If necessary, press the Power button on the front panel of the system.
The system powers on.
Preferred Shutdown
You can gracefully shut down your system by using the Power button or the ReadyNAS local admin page.
For information about how to gracefully shut down your system using the ReadyNAS local admin page, see
the ReadyNAS OS 6.5 Software Manual, which is available at
http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.
To gracefully shut down your system using the Power button:
1. Press the Power button on the front panel of the system.
The Power LED blinks, prompting you to confirm the shutdown.
2. Press the Power button again.
The system shuts down gracefully.
Forced Shutdown
Perform a forced shutdown only if the storage system is not responding.
To perform a forced shutdown:
•Flip the Power switch to the Off position.
The Power switch is located on the back panel of the system.
The system shuts down.
Power State
If the power supply is interrupted due to a power failure, the system returns to its last state once the power
supply is restored, as follows:
•If the system was powered on at the time of the power failure, the system powers on when the power
supply is restored.
•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:
ReadyNAS 2120 and 2120 v2
15
ReadyNAS OS 6

•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.
To start the factory default process immediately, press the Reset button during the
10-minute time-out period.
Note
•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.
3. Press the Power button on the front panel of the system.
The system powers on.
4. Continue to press the Reset button for about five seconds until the Power LED is solid green and the
Error LED, LAN 1 LED, and LAN 2 LED are blinking.
5. Press and release the Reset button to scroll through the boot mode menu.
Each press and release scrolls forward to the next item in the boot mode menu.
The storage system shows the boot mode options using the LEDs, as described in the following table:
