SETUP

The easiest and fastest way to setup any ASUSTOR NAS to launch their very own control center software, wait until it locates the unit in your local network and then start the setup procedure.

The installation wizard will ask you to place a drive in the unit and even to to update the firmware which you can do either directly from the ASUSTOR server or from a firmware file (if you have it from the official ASUSTOR page).

After that you can choose between the fast 1-click setup and the custom setup (typically we followed the custom route).

Via the custom route you will need to set the server name (if you don't like the default one), server password, time zone, network options and configure the drives (single/RAID/JBOD) in order to proceed.

ASUSTOR has inserted a new page in the setup procedure from where you can choose to automatically install apps based on the type of usage you plan for the NAS (Home/Personal or Business).

Of course you have the ability to check which these apps are and choose to install them (or not).

ASUSTOR has also introduced the EZ Connect app (Cloud access) which allows you to access the NAS from anywhere in the world and as you can see setting it up is extremely easy.
