v1.1, June 2009
Using the Boot Menu to Format a RAID Volume
You can switch between the X-RAID2 (Expandable Volume) mode and the Flexible Volume (Flex-
RAID 0/1/5 mode only if you want to change the default configuration. It is not necessary to
perform this procedure every time you boot up the system. The device remains in the selected
mode until explicitly changed.
To reconfigure your RAID setup, complete the following steps:
1. Power off the ReadyNAS.
2. While using a paper clip or push pin to press in the SYS switch, power on the unit. Wait for up
to 30 seconds for the reset menu on the front to display, then release the reset switch.
The LEDs will indicate the reset menu is active.
3. Push the BACKUP button on the front panel two times to scroll through the menu to the
Factory Default option (USB LED off, Disk 1 LED off, Disk 2 LED on, Disk 3 LED off, Disk
4 LED off).
4. Press the SYS button at the back to confirm the menu selection and proceed to that option.
The system will reset to the factory default settings, and erase all the data on the disks.
Warning: Using the Factory Default boot menu option will erase all the data on the hard
disks. Do a full backup before using the Factory Default option.
