Note: If you have a diskless unit, you must install at least one disk before
following these instructions. For a list of supported disks, see the Hardware
Compatibility List at http://readynas.com/hard_disk_hcl. For information about
installing disks, see the hardware manual for your unit.
To set up your unit:
1. Place the unit 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.
2. Connect the power adapter to the back of the unit and plug the other end
into a wall outlet or power strip.
3. Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on the ReadyNAS to
your network.
4. If necessary, press the Power button to turn the unit on.
It takes about a minute to start up. The IP address is retrieved using DHCP.
5. Install and run the RAIDar utility on a computer that is connected to the
same local area network (LAN) as your ReadyNAS unit.
RAIDar is located on the Resource CD that came with your unit. It includes
versions for the Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. It is also
available at http://readynas.com/start.
RAIDar automatically detects your ReadyNAS unit on the network.
6. Click the Setup button.
An SSL certificate security warning displays. This is used to ensure an
encrypted authentication and management session to the ReadyNAS and
will not display again from the same browser.
7. Accept the certificate.
A login prompt displays.
8. Enter admin for the user name and netgear1 for the password and click
the OK button.
You can change these credentials when you configure your unit. NETGEAR
recommends that you change your password as soon as possible.
The ReadyNAS FrontView management interface displays in your browser.
It automatically launches a Setup Wizard to guide you through the
configuration process.
