2. Download and install VMware Player:
http://www.vmware.com/go/downloadplayer/
3. Disconnect any wireless network connections on your PC
4. Run VMware Player, and click on "Create a New Virtual Machine"
5. Select "Installer disc image file (iso)", and choose the ISO file downloaded in Step 1. Click "Next"
6. Select "Linux" and "Ubuntu", click "Next"
7. For virtual machine name and disk settings, click "Next".
8. Click "Customize Hardware"
9. Under "Network Adapter", select Network Connection as "Bridged", then click "Close"
10. Click "Finish". The virtual machine will start booting in a window. (If you get a message about software updates, click "Remind Me Later")
11. When the login prompt is shown, go to next step. No login is required.
12. Power off the NAS and remove all hard disks.
13. Connect the NAS to the PC directly by an Ethernet cable. If your NAS includes two LAN ports, please connect LAN 2 of the NAS to the PC. If it doesn't work try it again with LAN 1
14. Find the RESET button of the NAS (see below).
15. Use a pen or any pointed object to press and hold the RESET button. Then press the Power button on the front panel to power on the NAS at the meanwhile.
16. Please keep holding the RESET button and Power button until you hear two short beeps in about 5-8 seconds. The Status LED of the NAS should be flashing red and green and then glows red.
17. The LED on the LAN port of the NAS should be flashing for the first few seconds and then glows green or orange.
18. LEAVE THE NAS ALONE AT THIS POINT! DO NOT TURN IT OFF OR UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Wait for about 5 minutes.
Note: To make sure if the data has been delvering to NAS or not, you can login to the console by the username and password, root/root. Then, use the command "ifconfig" to see if the number of TX on eth0 is increasing or not.
19. Wait until you hear a long beep or two short beeps and see the Status LED flashing green. The NAS will then reboot. No intervention required during this stage.
20. The reboot should take about 3 minutes. After that you should hear a long beep.
21. Connect the NAS to your switch or router and use QNAP Finder to find the NAS.
22. Power off the NAS, plug the HDD(s) back by original order, then power it on.
23. Download the latest firmware from QNAP website(http://www.qnap.com/), unzip the file, and perform firmware upgrade through QNAP Finder.
24. On QNAP Finder, select the NAS, click Tools -> Update Firmware to update the NAS firmware.

When to use the firmware recovery guide
This firmware recovery guide is intended for users who encounter system startup failure due to incomplete or unsuccessful firmware update caused by power outage or network disconnection during the process. To verify if this guide applies to your NAS, follow the steps below:
1. Power off the NAS.
2. Remove all the hard disks.
3. Connect the NAS with a VGA/HDMI monitor and a USB keyboard.
4. Power on the NAS
“AMI BIOS …”--> the following screen shows the BIOS can startup correctly
“1023MB OK” --> DRAM has been detected (DRAM size is depend on NAS model)
“128MB ATA Flash Disk ADAA408J” --> DOM has been detected (DOM size is depend on NAS model)
If the BIOS cannot be started or any component cannot be detected correctly, like DRAM, DOM, you need to contact with local distributor and send back the NAS for repair. If the NAS system can be startup correctly after HDD removed, you will need to replace the HDD as the startup failed issue should be caused by HDD.
5. When the screen will show "Uncompressing Linux..." .
At this stage, the system on the DOM is starting to boot up. However, if the system is corrupted, some error message might occur on the screen during the startup process. You can try to recover the system on the DOM by following steps.
6. To recover the system on the DOM, you need follow the step A and step B.
A. Create a USB boot disk
B. Use the USB boot disk to refresh the system on the DOM.
Instructions for NAS Recovery
A. How to create a USB boot disk.
1. Download the unetbootin utility and iso file from the link below:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ - e.g. please select “Download for windows” if you are using Windows platform on your PC.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/damnsmall/current/dsl-4.4.10-initrd.iso
2. Plug a USB flash drive to your PC. The USB flash drive should be 1GB or 2GB. Please format the USB flash drive as FAT32.

B. How to use USB boot disk to refresh the DOM for x86 based NAS
1. Power off the NAS.
2. Remove all the hard disks.
3. Connect the NAS with a VGA/HDMI monitor, USB keyboard, and the bootable USB disk.
4. Power on the NAS and press F11 key repeatedly.
5. Select the USB flash drive as your boot device. If you didn’t the menu and the system continues to process with the command line mode, please reboot the NAS and repeat the step 4.
[NOTE]: If there are two USB devices, don't select “USB DISK MODULE PMAP”.
6. On the following menu, select Default for monitor setting. Then, press <SPACE> to continue.
7. After boot up completely, you should see the following window.
8. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to enter command line.
9. Input the following command:
# sudo su
# fdisk –l
/dev/sda is your flash drive.
/dev/sdb or /dev/hda is the DOM drive. The size should be 128 MB or 512 MB depend on the NAS model.
10. Then, input the following command:
# mkdir usbdrive
# mount /dev/sda1 /home/dsl/usbdrive
# cd /home/dsl/usbdrive
11. Input the following command:
# cp dom.img /dev/sdb
“/dev/sdb” or “/dev/hda” is the DOM drive.
"dom.img" is your firmware name.
/dev/sdb or /dev/hda is the drive name of your dom. (depend on NAS model)
12. Reboot your NAS.
# reboot
13. After the system has been recovered, the NAS should boot up correctly and can be found by QNAP Finder.
14. When the firmware version is on 1.x.x, it is factory test firmware. No HDD can be detected with this firmware. Need to update the firmware to official firmware first.
For TS-239, TS-439, TS-439U, TS-509, TS-639, TS-809, TS-809U, SS-439 and SS-839, please follow the procedures on the following link to update the firmware to 3.5.0.
http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/NAS_Firmware_Update_When_No_HDD(s)_Installed
For other x-86 based NAS, please download the firmware 3.4.x from QNAP website and use QNAP Finder to update the firmware.
16. After firmware update by QNAP Finder, you can then plug the HDD(s) back to the NAS. After boot up,
- If the HDD(s) have been used on the NAS before, the firmware on the NAS and the HDDs may be inconsistent, you need to update the firmware again.
- If the HDD(s) is brand new, you can then start the initialization procedures.
