Basic Setup
Aer you follow these instructions, your ReadyNAS is ready to use in a
production environment. Setup takes approximately 15 minutes.
¾ To set up your storage system:
1. Install all available disks that you want to use in your ReadyNAS
system.
Note: If you are using previously formatted disks that contain data,
you must reformat these disks before continuing. See Reformat Disks
on page 9.
For a list of supported disks, see the Hardware Compatibility List at
netgear.com/readynas-hcl.

2. Place your system 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.
For a complete list of placement considerations, see the hardware
manual for your system.
