ReadyNAS Duo v2 and NV+ v2
Diskless Units
If you purchased a ReadyNAS storage system without a pre-installed hard disk drive or
drives, you must follow this procedure before you use your unit. The following procedure is
illustrated with a Duo v2, but the same steps apply for an NV+ v2.
To prepare a diskless unit for first use:
1. Obtain at least one hard disk drive that appears on the NETGEAR Hardware
Compatibility List.
See http://www.readynas.com/hard_disk_hcl.
If you are using a previously formatted disk, see the precautions listed in Previously
Formatted Disks on page 27.
2. With the unit turned off, insert a disk into a drive bay, as follows:
a. Press the disk tray release latch.
The tray handle pops out.
