Netgear MS2120 - STORA (2TB: 1X2TB) Manual Do Utilizador

Factory Reset 

A factory reset clears all user names and passwords, resets the Stora to be a DHCP client, 
and allows you to rerun the Setup software.



Turn off your Stora, then turn it on and wait 10 seconds. 

Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button while the booting process 
continues, at least 30 seconds. 

The blue LED blinks approximately once every 5 seconds during this period. 

Release the Reset button after 6 sets of blinks. 

The power LED turns off and the disk LEDs turn orange. 

The device requests a DHCP lease and attempts to acquire an IP address.

If an IP address is acquired, the disk 2 LED also turns orange for 1 second.

If no IP address is assigned, the following pattern shows on the LEDs, and the 

recovery mechanism stops:

The power LED turns off.

Disk 1 and disk 2 LEDs blink together 3 times.

All of the LEDs turn off 

 
If your Stora cannot acquire an IP address, try running the factory reset 
process a second time. If that fails, contact NETGEAR technical support.

After the Stora acquires an IP address, the reset process begins. During the process, the 
LEDs behave as follows: 

The power LED turns off.

Disk 1 and disk 2 LEDs turn on and off in turns.

The reset takes approximately 4 to 5 minutes with a fast network connection. 

After the factory reset is complete, the LEDs behave as follows: 

Reset successful. All LEDs turn on for 5 seconds, and then the device reboots 

normally. 

Reset unsuccessful. Both disk LEDs blink simultaneously, and the recovery 

mechanism stops. 

In the case of a failed reset, power down the unit and try to reboot it. If it boots 
successfully, try running the Setup software. If it does not boot successfully, contact 
NETGEAR technical support.
