which should help me but process is not clear for me.
first: it is written that we should hold Power button but in the table, it is written to hold reset
second: about led , I have a led 1 and 2 but they light together ..
And finally : is there a way to know what append because I hear the fan working hard but I do not know what's going on

- There are two boot menus. One where you press and hold the power button, the other where you press and hold the reset button.
1. Power down the NAS
2. Press and hold the reset button
3. Press the power button to turn the NAS on.
4. Continue holding the reset button.
5. After about 5 seconds the disk LEDs will blink. Release the reset button after this blink. - In step 2 mdgm means press and hold the reset button I think.
- Yes, thanks.
- thanks for help
I try to proceed as you advice but it is very difficult to be sure that something is working
I don't have access to the internet interface anymore :(
Is there a way to know the actual status ? - What does RAIDar see?
- I didn't know this tool :)
It is helpful because IP has been changed with the re-install
I was checking at the old IP address and naturally haven't response
Thanks for help everybody :thumbsup: - An OS Re-install resets the admin password and some network settings as these getting messed up can cause loss of access to Frontview.
