Factory reset. Performs a short disk test and then allows you to reset your system to the
factory defaults or switch between X-RAID and Flex-RAID. The system performs the disk
test, which takes about 5 minutes, waits 10 minutes, and then restores the system to its
factory settings. During the 10-minute window, you can shut down the system to avoid
erasing its settings and files, or you can use RAIDar to format the system’s disks as
Flex-RAID instead of X-RAID. If you do not shut down the system or use RAIDar to
reformat the system, the system is reset to factory settings, all files on the system are
erased, and the disks are formatted using the same disk configuration that was
previously used. (For more information about X-RAID and Flex-RAID, see the ReadyNAS
RAIDiator 4.1 Software Manual, which is available at

on a disk, this process can stall, causing the system not to boot. Use this option to skip
the scan and let the system boot. Use this boot mode only if instructed to do so by a
NETGEAR technical support representative. Otherwise, you might lose data.
