I want to thank you because without your help, I would have given up a long time ago.
This nas frustrated me for a couple of weeks straight, but I don't give up easily.
This is what I did in case it helps anyone else.
I had to get an old router and configure it with a static ip of 192.168.168.1 and enable dhcp on it.
Then i configured my laptop to accept dhcp ip assignment and I connected it to the router.
I did an os reinstall on the nas with just disk one and then I connected it to the router.
I started raidar and it found the nas right away, and the setup button was not greyed out.
I got an error about the browser and had to enable my old internet explorer as the default browser, and after that raidar was able to open the frontview interface.
I could not use the browser to set it up and had to use raidar.
I cannot thank you enough for sticking with me and all my questions.
God bless you!

Ok, I think I am one step closer to getting in the nas frontview panel.
I configured the IP as you suggested, and connected it to the laptop.
I did another os reinstall and as soon as the two disk led's lit solid, I opened RAIDar and it found it!
But a few seconds later it disappeared and the raidar help screen shows with the last three messages blinking:
awaiting resync
life support mode
background task active
And I cannot open frontview.
I don't understand, because both the power light and both disk lighta are solid, and the activity light is not lit.
would changing to new disks make it work?
The NAS boots from the disks, so switching to new disks should resolve this.
You could also try powering down the NAS, and removing disk 1. Then boot up with slot 1 empty, and see if it boots normally.
Thanks,
I thought it booted from the hardware.
I will try that tonight.
I have noticed disk 1 led goes solid fairly quick, but disk 2 seems to take all night to go solid.
Should I remove disk 2?
And does the disk need to be formatted before placing it in the nas?
Thanks

Normally the system boots from disk 1, so I'd try that first.
If that doesn't change anything, then try powering down again, reinserting disk 1, and removing disk 2.
Be careful to power down before removing or inserting disks - you don't want to trigger resyncs accidentally, as that can result in a failed volume.
