Accessing the Failsafe Mode
To access the Failsafe Mode:
1
Power down the Network Storage Server by pressing the
Shutdown button on the front of the unit for between two and
four seconds.
The Network Storage Server will take approximately one minute
to shut down. As the Network Storage Server powers down, the
Disk Space Used LEDs will go to the maximum point on its scale
and then gradually move down the scale until full shut down.
When the Power LED appears Amber and there are no
Disk Space Used LEDs lit, the Network Storage Server has shut
down.
2
Disconnect the power supply adapter from the unit only when
the Network Storage Server has completely shut down.
3
Push and hold the Shutdown button, then reconnect the power
supply adapter to the Network Storage Server to power it up.
Keep the shutdown button pressed until the Power LED appears
Amber (approximately 30 seconds).
