By default your 214 model has a built-in tool called Web Assistant to help you configure and install the DSM
operating system. Please refer to the steps in the following section.

browser:
With Internet access: Go to find.synology.com

your 214 should be Not Installed.

Note:
1. Suggested browsers: Chrome, Firefox.
2. Both the 214 and the computer should be in the same local network.
