Diagnostics and Maintenance 2-5
v1.1, July 2009
1. Boot menu enabled: use the Reset button to scroll through the menu to select an option.
2. Normal boot: perform a normal boot.
3. Factory Default: Reset the ReadyNAS back to factory default state, erasing all data on the
disks. This option can be used to change between X-RAID2 and Flex-RAID mode.
4. OS Reinstall: While keeping the data volume in tact, re-install the RAIDiator firmware on the
ReadyNAS, reset the admin password and change the DHCP assignment to DHCP client. This
is helpful if you have lost your admin password and want to set it back to default, if errors in
your network settings has made it impossible to connect to the ReadyNAS, or if you suspect
that the operating system on your disk may somehow be corrupt.
5. Tech Support: Enable the remote diagnostic function.
6. Skip Volume Check: Boot the system but bypass the volume check.
7. Memory Test: Perform a memory diagnostic.
Using the OS Reinstall Option to Reinstall the Firmware
To reinstall the RAIDiator firmware on the ReadyNAS without touching the data volume, follow
these steps.
Note: The boot menu defaults to Normal Boot if no selection is made after three
seconds.
Warning: This process reinstalls the firmware and resets all disk configurations,
wiping out any data you might have on the unit.
Tip: If possible, use the configuration backup to save your configuration so that if
you have to reset the unit to its factory default settings, you can simply restore
all your settings from the configuration backup. For instructions on how to back
up your configuration, see the ReadyNAS 3200 Software Manual.
