system and it came back up, I

had to wait to access it. The

system appeared to regenerate

the RAID 5 and RAID 1 volumes.

whether one or more write failures

occurred. Therefore, following the

reboot, the NAS system rebuilds all

volumes and regenerates parity to

make sure the files are consistent.

functioning as designed. The RAID rebuild

takes several hours.

I inserted four new hard drives in

the NAS system and then

reinstalled the operating system.

The NAS system is up and

running, and the LEDs are

showing activity on the system.

However, the NAS system is not

displayed in the Kick-Start

utility window.

You tried to connect to the NAS system

before the reinstallation was complete.

The last step of the reinstallation

process is to create the recovery

partition and the data volume as RAID

5. The system is not displayed in the

Kick-Start utility window until the

RAID 5 synchronization is complete.

Wait until the RAID 5 synchronization is

complete and the NAS system has shut

down. This can take several hours.

I cannot connect to or ping the

NAS system after turning it on.

The NAS system has not finished

booting.

Wait at least 5 minutes for the NAS system

to finish booting. If you still cannot

connect, attempt the procedures in

"

Solutions to Try Before Reinstalling

" in

"Recovering and Restoring the System."

After using Terminal Services to

connect to my NAS system, I am

unable to type using my native

language.

The NAS system is set to English, the

default language.

You can install your native language

character set from the Multilingual Support

CD that was shipped with your system. For

installation instructions, see "

Advanced

Features

."

I cannot get console redirection

to work correctly. Only a few

keys work on the keyboard, and

none of the keys work when

trying to configure the BIOS.

<Scroll Lock>, <Caps Lock>, or <Num

Lock> might be set on your keyboard.

Also, your operating system may not

support all of the keys on your

keyboard.

Ensure that the <Scroll Lock>, <Caps

Lock>, and <Num Lock> lights are turned

off on the keyboard. If these lights are not

on and the problem persists, see "

Console

Redirection Keys

" in "Advanced Features."

During a Terminal Services

session to the NAS system, I

mapped a network share from

the NAS system. Now the system

does not reboot correctly and

hangs during shutdown.

Having a share mapped from the NAS

system causes the system to hang

during shutdown.

Make sure that when you map a share, you

do not select Reconnect at logon. To

disconnect the drive, right-click My

Appliance on the NAS system desktop,

and select Disconnect Network Drive.

Click the CD share in the Disconnect

Network Drive window, and then click

OK.

If you cannot log in to the NAS system,

press the power button for less than 2

seconds to reboot. Then connect using

Terminal Services and disconnecting the

drive. If Terminal Services does not work,

try connecting using a serial connection.

See "

Configuring Your System Using a

Serial Connection

" in "Initial Configuration."

My NAS system's event log

displays the following event:

The driver has detected that
device \Device\Scsi\Ultra1

firmware. Reduced
performance may result.

Under certain conditions, the IDE

controller operating system drivers

erroneously detect that its firmware is

out of date.

No action required. The NAS system is

operating normally.

The Telnet option in the NAS

Manager does not allow me to
