    Power On and Shut Down
    This section describes how to power on and shut down your system. If you must shut down the system, use
    one of the preferred shutdown methods whenever possible.
    Power On
    When the system is connected to a power supply and the Power switch is in the On position, the system
    automatically powers on.
    You can also power on the system by pressing the Power button on the front panel of the system.
    Preferred Shutdown
    You can gracefully shut down your system by using the Power button or the ReadyNAS local admin page.
    For information about how to gracefully shut down your system using the ReadyNAS local admin page, see
    the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is available at support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.

    a.Press the Power button on the front panel of the system.
    The status display screen wakes.
    b.Press the Power button a second time.
    Instructions for graceful shutdown display on the status display screen.
    c.Press the Power button a third time.
    The system shuts down gracefully.
    2.If the status display screen is lit, do the following:

    Instructions for graceful shutdown display on the status display screen.
    b.Press the Power button again.
    The system shuts down gracefully.
    Forced Shutdown
    Perform a forced shutdown only if the storage system is not responding.
    To perform a forced shutdown:
    •Press and hold the Power button on the front panel of the system for five seconds.
    The LEDs blink quickly and simultaneously to warn that power will be cut off forcibly.
    The system shuts down.
    Boot Menu
    Use the boot menu to restart or troubleshoot your ReadyNAS storage system.Your storage system has the
    following boot modes:
    •Normal. Initiates a normal boot process, just like booting using the Power button.
    •Factory default. Initiates a short disk test that takes approximately 2 minutes. After the disk test, a
    10-minute time-out period begins.
    WARNING:
    The factory default reboot process resets the storage system to factory
    settings, erases all data, resets all defaults, and reformats the disk to X-RAID.
    -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.

    							To start the factory default process immediately, press the OK button during the
    10-minute time-out period.
    Tip
    •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
    some settings on your storage system, such as Internet protocol settings and the administrator password,
    to defaults.
    •Tech support. Boots into a low-level diagnostic mode. Use the tech support boot mode only when
    instructed to do so by a NETGEAR technical support representative.
    •Volume read only. Mounts a volume as read-only. Use this option when you are attempting to rescue
    data off a disk during a disaster recovery.
    •Memory test. Performs a memory test.The pass or fail result is reported on the status display screen.
    •Test disk. Performs an offline full disk test.This process can take four hours or more, depending on
    the size of your disks. Any problems are reported in the system logs. For more information about viewing
    the system logs, see the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is available at
    support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6.
    To access the boot menu:
    1.Power off your storage system.
    2.Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button.
    3.Press the Power button on the front panel of the system.
    The system powers on.
    4.Continue to press the Reset button until the status display screen shows a boot menu message.
    5.Use the arrows on the touch pad to scroll through boot mode options.
    The status display screen shows the current boot mode option.
    6.When the status display screen shows the boot mode that you need, press the OK button to confirm
    your boot menu selection.
    The system boots in the selected boot mode.

    NETGEAR EDA 500
    This chapter provides an overview of the physical features of the EDA 500 and includes the following sections:
    •Front and Side Panels on page 110
    •Drive Bays on page 110
    •Rear Panel on page 111
    •Status Information on page 112
    •Power On and Shut Down on page 113
    The EDA 500 disk trays are slightly different from the standard trays. Use only EDA 500 disk
    trays with the EDA 500. For more information about the EDA 500 disk trays, see EDA 500
    Disk Tray on page 117.
    Note
    A ReadyNAS cannot boot using the disks in an EDA 500. All disks in a RAID volume must be either in a ReadyNAS
    or in an EDA 500. A RAID volume cannot combine disks in a ReadyNAS with disks in an EDA 500.
    You can add an EDA 500 to a ReadyNAS while the ReadyNAS is running, but you cannot remove the EDA
    while the ReadyNAS is running.
    You can add and remove disks while an EDA 500 is in operation (hot swap). If an added disk has data on it, the
    data shows as an inactive volume.You need to destroy inactive volumes, which destroys all data in the volume,
    and create new volumes, before the space is available for use by the ReadyNAS.
