ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems Power On and Shut Down This section describes how to power on and shut down your system. If you need to shut down the system, use the preferred shutdown method whenever possible. Power On When the system is connected to a power supply and the Power switch is in the On position, the system automatically powers on. When connected to a host that is powered on, the EDA 500 automatically powers on. The EDA 500 detects a powered-on host through the eSATA link.
12. 12 Disks This chapter describes how to reformat, add, and replace disks in your ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system. For information about configuring disks on your storage system, see the ReadyNAS OS 6.2 Software Manual, which is available at http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems Disk Trays All systems except the EDA 500 use standard disk trays. The EDA 500 comes with its own special disk trays. This section describes both the standard and EDA 500 disk trays. Standard Disk Tray The following figure shows the features of the standard disk tray. This disk tray is used in all systems except the EDA 500. For information about the EDA 500 disk tray, see EDA 500 Disk Tray on page 93. 1 5 2 6 3 4 7 Figure 31. Standard disk tray 1. Disk tray 2.
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems EDA 500 Disk Tray The following figure shows the features of the EDA 500 disk tray. The EDA 500 disk tray and the standard disk tray are the same, except for the EMI shielding on the EDA 500 disk tray. For this reason, use only EDA 500 disk trays with the EDA 500. 1 5 6 2 3 7 4 8 Figure 32. EDA 500 disk tray 1. Disk tray 2. Disk tray release latch 3. Recessed disk tray handle lock 4.

Previously Formatted Disks This section describes how to use previously formatted disks with your ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system.
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems For more information, see Add a Disk on page 96. 3. Reset the system to its factory default settings. WARNING: This process erases all data and reformats all disks into a single X-RAID volume. If you want to preserve the data on the disks, you must back up the data to an external drive before using the disks in your ReadyNAS storage system.
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems Add a Disk You can add a 3.5-inch hard disk drive, a 2.5-inch hard disk drive, or a 2.5-inch solid state drive to an empty drive bay. If you want to add a previously formatted disk to your storage system, see the instructions in Previously Formatted Disks on page 94. To add a 3.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD): 1. Determine whether you need to shut down your system: • If you are adding disks to a diskless system, gracefully shut down the system.
