your ReadyNAS system. An electronic copy of the installation guide is located on the product

RAIDar Utility
RAIDar is a discovery tool that recognizes ReadyNAS devices on your network and enables 
easy setup and management of all your ReadyNAS units. Install it on a computer that is 
connected to the same local area network (LAN) as your ReadyNAS unit. The RAIDar utility 
is included on the Resource CD that came with your unit. It includes versions for Windows, 
Mac, and Linux operating systems. It is also available at 
.
Launch the RAIDar utility. It automatically finds the device or devices on the network without 
needing their IP addresses, and makes it easy to see the status of your units. You should see 
your ReadyNAS device or devices listed. 
The default IP configuration is set to DHCP; if the unit does not get an IP address, it defaults 
to 192.168.168.168.
