Chapter 5 Netgear Readynas - NETGEAR ReadyNAS 102 Hardware Manual

- If you want to cancel the factory default process, power off the storage system before the 10-minute
time-out ends. The system powers down safely without causing any data loss.
- If you want to reset the system to factory default settings, do not power off your system. After the
10-minute time-out period, the factory default process begins.
Tip To start the factory default process immediately, press the Backup button during the
10-minute time-out period.
• OS reinstall. Reinstalls the firmware from the internal flash to the disks. Use the OS reinstall boot mode
when the system crashes and corrupts some configuration files. OS reinstall boot mode also resets

to defaults.

NETGEAR technical support representative instructs you to do so.
