Hello MichaelCH619,

Do the disks have important files or it's okay to format them using the NAS? If they have files, do you have backup of the files?

Thank you for responding There are important files on the drives and my backup is corrupt :(

I do have other hard drives available for testing if that helps.

Thanks again,
Michael.

  Try powering down and removing all the drives-labeling them by slot.
  
  The install one disk (ideally zeroed) and see if the NAS does the expected factory install. That will determine that the chassis is working correctly.

    Thank you for the guidance. I added a zeroed disk to slot 1. There was no change in behavior. Any thoughts on what I should do next?
    
    Best,
    Michael.
