Hopefully this will help more people. Even though this model is a rackmount. The reset button will only boot you to the boot menu. The "Backup" button is the button you want even though it has a reset button. Holding the backup button at power on for 10-15 seconds will cause it to boot to the USB.

So if this process is done on a rackmount unit without a VGA connection, there is no indication using the NAS LEDs? You must rely on the USB device's access LED (assuming it is even equipped with one) to let you know anything is happeneing? I can say nothing more than "poor design" and hope the user the best in performing this operation.
I do wonder, however, what drives the decision to do a USB recovery. It's typically a last resort fix and can make things worse when done under the wrong circumstances..
