Reinstalling RAIDar Firmware
To reinstall RAIDar firmware without touching the data volume:
1. Using a paper clip to gently press the Reset switch, power on the unit. Wait for the two
red boot menu status lights on the front to display, then release the reset switch.
2. Push the Reset button on the front panel three times to select the OS Reinstall option.
The system will do the following:
a. Display the OS Reinstall blink pattern.
b. Holds the display of the final LED (off on), and waits for you to confirm the selection.
If you mistakenly select the Factory Default option, all data on the
unit will be deleted. If you are unsure, let the system boot normally
before attempting this procedure again.
3. Press and hold the Reset button for 3 seconds to confirm the menu selection and proceed
with that option. The system will do the following:
a. Blink both LEDs twice to confirm the selection.
b. Proceed with reinstalling the firmware.
c. Reboot when the firmware reinstall completes.
The data will be in tact. The user name, password, and system configuration settings
will be the factory default values.
