. If you are using a previously formatted disk that contains
data you want to preserve, you must move the data to an external
drive before using the previously formatted disk in your ReadyNAS
unit.
The factory reboot process can take up to 30 minutes while your unit tests and formats
the disk, installs the operating system, and creates a volume. This process can take up to
30 minutes; you can follow the progress in RAIDar. For more information about RAIDar,
see the software manual for your unit, which is available at
http://www.readynas.com/documentation.
If you are installing multiple disks at the same time, they must synchronize. This might
take several hours, depending on the disk size. You can continue to use your ReadyNAS,
although access is slower until the volume synchronization finishes.
