Managing Levels of Service

1. Normal: Bypass the diagnostic menu and perform a normal boot.

2. 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.

3. OS Reinstall: While keeping the data volume in tact, re-install the RAIDiator firmware on the 

ReadyNAS, reset the admin password,d 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.

4. Tech Support: Enable the remote diagnostic function.

5. Skip Volume Check: Boot the system but bypass the volume check.

6. Memory Test: Perform a memory diagnostic.

Typically, if you find that a configuration change makes the unit inaccessible, you can use option 
(3) to set the unit back to a factory default state.

To Re-install the RAIDiator firmware on the ReadyNAS without touching the data volume, follow 
these steps.

1. Power off the device.

2. While using a paper clip or push pin to press in the reset switch, power on the unit and hold the 

reset switch for 30 seconds while powering on the device, then release the reset switch.

The OLED will display the reset manu. 

3. Push the Backup button the front panel to scroll through the menu to the OS Reinstall option.

Warning: This process reinstalls the firmware and resets all disk configurations, 

wiping out any data you might have on the NAS.

Tip: If possible, use the configuration backup (see 

) 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.
