Re: [Help] F4-210 unreachable - how to recover data on drives?
for your recommendations: 1 - I cannot access the device, how do I reinstall TOS? If there is some way to do this, will it impact the data on the hard drives? 2 - Given that I can't access the device, I guess this is the option to take. There are a few 4 bay versions, is the critical issue the use o...

[Help] F4-210 unreachable - how to recover data on drives?
I can't access my NAS device. It boots, shows green lights, but will not allow me to connect to it. Then after a while (a few hours or so) it starts beeping then shuts down. Once this happens the only way to power it on is to unplug the power cable and reinsert it. I had another post a while ago reg...

Re: [Help] F4-210 starts up then shuts down and dead.
I don’t recall exactly but it’s not readable by my Mac. It’s a Linux oriented file system and it specifically disallowed any FAT or AFP file system. The NAS (when it was still working) could see the drive but said there was no storage pool or shared folder on it.

Re: [Help] F4-210 starts up then shuts down and dead.
Does 'Unable to recognize administrator username and password' refer to being prompted with an error even when entering the correct username and password on the login page? This can be resolved by reinstalling the system and resetting the username and password. We recommend that after reinstalling ...

Re: [Help] F4-210 starts up then shuts down and dead.
Even if you created a storage pool and shared folder using the HD on USB via instructions. When you restart the F4-210, the NAS system cannot automatically recognize, start, activate, and mount them. It is recommended that you use them as USB storage through operations on the Control Panel page. Th...

Re: [Help] F4-210 starts up then shuts down and dead.
For F4-210(TOS4), you cannot create a shared folder on a USB drive. If you are doing this via a command, the system may not be able to handle such an 'unexpected' operation. Just to be clear, it is a portable hard drive connected to the nas via the usb port on the back of the unit. It is possible, ...

Re: [Help] F4-210 starts up then shuts down and dead.
It just gets worse. After the NAS began responding again, I added a 2TB USB drive, and set up a shared folder on it. I moved about 100GB from the raid drive to this one. Today, I started the NAS and the shared folder has disappeared. It recognizes the usb drive, but there is no shared folder. How ca...

Re: [Help] F4-210 starts up then shuts down and dead.
I thought that as well. Until the little plastic "hinge" that actually makes the pressure pad for the electronic switch on the circuit board parted company with the case. For a short while I was able to apply pressure to the switch itself, then that stopped working as well at which point ...

Re: [Help] F4-210 starts up then shuts down and dead.
This is not solved anymore - now it shuts off completely after a few hours. The only way to get it to start up is to unplug and replug the power plug. No apparent error messages showing up, it'll just be completely dead when I go back to my laptop after a few hours doing other things. This has happe...
