Initializing TS-109/209/409/409U Series Through Linux
From QNAPedia
Requirements
- TS-109/-209/-409 series NAS
- At least one SATA HDD
- Linux OS with ftp server function
- [init_single_disk] program if the firmware version on the NAS is 2.1.1 or older. Put this program on the ftp server of your Linux PC for download. This program can be download by ftp://csdread:csdread@ftp.qnap.com/NAS/install_from_Linux/init_single_disk.
- TS-109/-209/-409 series NAS firmware file. You can download the latest firmware from QNAP website. Put this firmware on the ftp server of you Linux PC for download.
Procedure
- Connect the Linux PC directly to the NAS by network cable.
- Power on the NAS. After a short beep and then a long beep from the NAS, hot-plug only one HDD to drive bay 1 of the NAS.
- The NAS would use 169.254.100.100 as its IP address. Thus, please configure the Linux PC IP address to the same subnet. For example, 169.254.100.101/255.255.0.0
- Telnet to the NAS by port 13131 ( on Linux terminal, use command: telnet 169.254.100.100 13131) and login with username/password as admin/admin.
- Check the firmware version of your NAS by input command:
# more /etc/config/uLinux.conf
The first page would show the model number and firmware version. If the firmware version is prior to v2.1.1, ftp to the Linux PC to download init_single_disk. You may need to use chmod command to make the program executable. If the firmware version is 2.1.2 or later, the init_single_disk is placed on sbin folder.
- Execute init_single_disk and wait for the completion.
- Run the following command to install the firmware.
# mkdir /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update
# cd /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update
# ln -sf /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update /mnt/update
Then FTP to the server to download the firmware file to /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update folder. If the firmware name is U_TS-X09_200XXXXX-X.X.X.img, run the following command:
# etc/init.d/update.sh /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update/U_TS-X09_200XXXXX-X.X.X.img
# reboot
- After reboot, wait for about 3 seconds, then you can connect the NAS by web browser
- Login with default username / password as admin/admin. If you have other SATA Disk(s) need to install, hot-plug to the NAS then you can go to Device Configuration -> SATA Disk to configure the disk settings as you wish.
