Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Check that the power adapter is securely connected to both the NAS and the power outlet. Try a different power outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position.

Cannot access DSM interface

Verify the NAS is connected to your network and powered on. Ensure your computer is on the same network. Try restarting the NAS and your computer. Use Synology's 'find.synology.com' or Synology Assistant to locate the NAS's IP address.

Slow file transfer speeds

Check your network connection and cable integrity. Ensure the NAS and client device's network adapters are functioning correctly. If using M.2 SSDs for cache, verify they are properly installed and configured. Consider upgrading to a 10GbE network if your workload demands it.

Drive not recognized

Power off the NAS, ensure the drive is correctly seated in the bay, and power it back on. Check DSM's Storage Manager to see if the drive appears. If not, try the drive in another bay or test it in a computer to rule out drive failure.

RAID array degraded

Immediately check the drive health in DSM's Storage Manager. If a drive has failed, replace it with a new compatible drive. Initiate a RAID rebuild process from Storage Manager to restore redundancy.
