Basic system reset (3 sec) 

Press the reset button for 3 seconds, a beep sound will be heard.  The System administration 
password will be reset to default. 

Advanced system reset (10 sec) 

Press the reset button for 10 seconds; you will hear two beeps at the third and the tenth seconds.  The 
settings such as the users and user groups previously created will be cleared.  The ES NAS will reset all 
the system settings to default as it would by using the web-based system reset in “Control Panel” > 
“System Settings” > “Backup / Restore” > “Restore to Factory Default” > “Reinitialize NAS”.

  

However

resetting the ES NAS by holding the button, the data on the ES NAS 

will not

 be deleted.

 

Management port 

The management is provided by Intel® 82579 Gigabit Ethernet controller. The management port allows 
you to connect to the QES desktop of the ES NAS. The default ES NAS management website is 
169.254.100.100:8080. If the ES NAS has been configured to use DHCP, you can use the QNAP Qfinder 
Pro to check the IP address of the ES NAS. Make sure the ES NAS and the computer that runs the QNAP 
Qfinder Pro are connected to the same subnet.  The system requires that the management IP addresses 
are configured on both controllers and that the controllers’ management ports are connected to the 
management network. This should be a separate LAN or a VLAN because you should not use the 
production LAN or VLAN for management network traffic. To configure the management port IP Address, 
please refer to the software user manual.

 

In case that one Storage Controller fails, you can enable 

takeover function from the High Availability app in QES to manage the system through the management 
port of the other Storage Controller with the same IP address. For more information, please see the 
software user manual.
