When TeraStation shared folders suddenly do not open

If the TeraStation shared folder is assigned and used as a network drive, access to the TeraStation may suddenly fail if

network settings such as IP addresses or groups are changed. If this happens, follow the procedure in chapter 2 to open

the TeraStation’s shared folder with NAS Navigator2.

If you are unable to access the shared folder or the system is unstable

This usually happens because too many software applications are running in Windows Storage Server, causing

a memory shortage. Exit or uninstall some of the software running in Windows Storage Server, then restart the

TeraStation.

Windows Storage Server Recovery Procedure

If Windows Storage Server no longer functions properly, perform recovery using the supplied USB device.　　

This recovery procedure makes your data erased. Backing up regularly is highly recommended to avoid missing

your important data.　　

Do not connect the supplied USB device to another TeraStation. The recovery process performed by the supplied USB

device is intended for this product only.

Recovery is performed by deleting the area for drive 1, setting up a new 100 GB (Basic Disk/Simple) area, and then

copying the Windows Storage Server image to this area.

Notes:

If there are system areas (or mirrored locations) on hard drives other than drive 1, be sure to delete the system areas

(or disable the mirrored locations) before performing the recovery procedure. If recovery is performed without

deleting these areas, Windows Storage Server may not run after recovery is performed.

If Windows Storage Server fails to run, turn off the TeraStation and perform the recovery procedure again while all

hard drives except for drive 1 (disk 0) are disconnected. After recovery is complete, reconnect the disconnected

drives, which will appear in “Disk Management” as “Foreign”. In “Disk Management”, right-click Foreign, select Import

Foreign Disks, then right-click this area and click Reactivate Volume to rebuild the RAID array.

1 Turn off the TeraStation, following the procedure in “Turning the TeraStation On and Off” in chapter 1.

2 Remove all hard drives except for drive 1, following the procedure in “Hard Drive Replacement Procedure” in

chapter 5.

3 Connect the supplied USB device to the USB 2.0 port.

4 Set the Boot Mode switch to “USB”, then press the power button.

This executes the recovery process.

5 The TeraStation shuts down automatically when the recovery process is complete.

6 Remove the USB device, set the Boot Mode switch to “HDD”, and press the power button.

When the initial setup is complete, the TeraStation will reboot into Windows Storage Server.
