For the updated hard drive compatibility list, please visit http://www.qnap.com.
System Supports Supports Supports Supports 3.5-inch 2.
The NAS supports hot-swapping the hard drives when 1 member drive crashes in RAID 1, 1–2 member drives crash in RAID 5 or RAID 6. Follow the steps below to hot-swap the hard drive when a member drive fails in a RAID configuration. 1. Login the NAS and check the disk volume configuration in “Volume Management”. 2. The volume status should be “in degraded mode”. 3. Prepare a new hard drive to replace the failed one. The capacity of the new hard drive should be the same as or larger than the failed hard drive.
Chapter 8. RAID Recovery The QNAP NAS supports exclusive RAID recovery technology to recover a failed RAID disk volume from unintentional disconnection or removal of the hard drives from the system. Using the RAID recovery, users can recover an inactive RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 volume to degraded mode, or an inactive RAID 0 and JBOD configuration to normal.

Chapter 9. Use the LCD Panel This feature is only provided by the NAS models with LCD panels. Please visit http://www.qnap.com for details. The NAS provides a handy LCD panel for users to perform disk configuration and view the system information. When the NAS has started up, the server name and IP address will be shown. N A S 5 F 4 D E 3 1 9 . 2 5 4 . 1 6 0 0 . 1 0 0 For the first time installation, the LCD panel shows the number of hard drives detected and the IP address.
When RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration is executed, the system will initialize the hard drives, create the RAID device, format the RAID device, and mount it as a volume on the NAS. The progress will be shown on the LCD panel. When it reaches 100%, the RAID volume can be accessed. Users can create share folders and upload files to the folders on the NAS.
View system information by the LCD panel When the LCD panel shows the server name and IP address, press the “Enter” button to enter the Main Menu. The Main Menu consists of the following items: 1. TCP/IP 2. Physical disk 3. Volume 4. System 5. Shut down 6. Reboot 7. Password 8. Back 1. TCP/IP The following options are available: LAN1 IP Address LAN1 Subnet Mask LAN1 Gateway LAN 1 PRI.

Chapter 10. Install Power Supply Unit Note: This section applies to rackmount NAS models only. The power supply units of TS-879U-RP and TS-EC879U-RP should only be replaced by an authorized and trained technician. 10.1 1U Turbo NAS with Hot-swappable PSU Note: The following instructions should only be performed by an authorized and trained technician. To install a redundant power supply unit to the 1U Turbo NAS, follow the steps below. 1. Turn off the NAS. 2. Remove the screw and dummy plate. 3.
5. Turn on the NAS. Note: To replace a failed power supply unit, turn off the NAS. Then remove the failed unit safely and repeat steps 3-5 above to install a new power supply unit. 10.2 TS-470U-RP/SP Note: The following instructions should only be performed by an authorized and trained technician. Follow the steps below to replace a failed power supply unit on the TS-470U-RP/SP. 1. Turn off the NAS. 2. Press the green lever and remove the defective power supply unit.
3. Insert a new power supply unit and push it to the end. 4. Turn on the NAS. Warning: The NAS supports replacing the redundant power supply unit without turning off the server when redundant power supply mode is enabled. However, users are strongly recommended to turn OFF the NAS before replacing the power supply unit to reduce the risk of electric shock. A second power supply unit can be installed on a single power (SP) rackmount NAS model to upgrade the SP model to redundant power (RP) model. 10.
3. Unplug the failed power supply. 4. Plug in a new power supply to the NAS.
5. Turn on the NAS. Enable warning alert for redundant power supply on the web-based interface: If two power supply units (PSU) have been installed on the NAS and connected to the power sockets, both PSU will supply the power to the NAS (applied to 1U and 2U models). Users can enable redundant power supply mode in “System Administration” > “Hardware” to receive warning alert for the redundant power supply.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK The connectors on the back panel (bracketed parts below) contain high voltage. Do NOT touch these parts to avoid the risk of electric shock to the maintenance operator.

For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program. To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work.

A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.

A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying. 7.

If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.
