Chapter 2: Hardware Setup 

 
 

   

Replace the hard drive bay cover to finish the installation. 

 

Note:

 If you want to set up a RAID set, it is recommended that all installed hard disks are of the same size to make 

the best use of hard disk capacity. 

Start Up Your DiskStation 

Connect the AC adapter to the power port of DiskStation. Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC 

power adapter, and the other to the power outlet. 

Use the LAN cable to connect DiskStation to your switch/router/hub. 

Press and hold the power button to turn on your DiskStation. 

 

Your DiskStation is now online and detectable from a network computer.
