Resetting Your BlackArmor NAS 110 Server
BlackArmor® NAS 110 User Guide 44
Keeping the Server’s Firmware Current
Note: Only a BlackArmor administrator can update the server’s firmware.
You should update your server’s firmware (essentially, software that’s built into the server) as
new versions become available, to ensure that you have the most up-to-date features and
functionality. You can find the new versions of BlackArmor NAS 110 firmware on the Seagate
Web site at www.seagate.com.
You can choose between two update methods in BlackArmor Manager:
• Automatic firmware updates—BlackArmor Manager downloads new firmware versions,
completes the update process, and restarts the server. You can start the update
immediately or schedule the update for a more convenient time.
You can also set BlackArmor Manager to check regularly for new versions of the firmware, and
either let you know when a new version is available or install the update automatically.
• Manual firmware updates—You must check the Seagate Web site at www.seagate.com
for new firmware versions, download the firmware files, and start the update yourself.
Seagate recommends using automatic updates to ensure that your server is always running
the latest, strongest version of the BlackArmor NAS 110 firmware.
Resetting Your BlackArmor NAS 110 Server
Follow these steps to reset the BlackArmor server’s name, DHCP setting (network mode)
and log in password.
Note: You will need a paperclip or other narrow device to perform this task.
1. Carefully access the bottom of the server.
2. Ensure that the server is powered on and connected to the LAN.
3. On the bottom of the server, find a single small opening. The reset button is inside the
opening.
4. Insert the end of the paperclip into the opening, then press and hold the reset button. Do
not release the button yet.
5. Hold the reset button until the disk drive LED on the front of the server lights up, then
turns amber (yellow). This takes several seconds.
6. Release the reset button.
The server reboots itself. Once the server has restarted and the LAN and disk drive LEDs are
lit up, the reset is complete. The server is renamed to “BA-MAC address”, where MAC address
is the last six characters of the server’s MAC address.
