Hi there
I am in the process of setting up a new DS215j that I received yesterday which I am having issues with. I followed the installation guide as shown and it still comes up with the orange flashing status light.
According to the guide this means "Drive crashed/Volume degraded or crashed" or "No internal drive".
The hard drive is a brand new Seagate 4TB NAS 4000VN000. I plugged the HDD into my desktop and it comes up fine. I created a new volume and even did a new format on it. So the HDD is working fine it seems.
I installed the Synology Assistant onto my desktop in the hopes of finding it and it fails to see it there. An ipconfig fails to show anything either.
Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this? I have scoured the internet and there doesn't seem to be a clear cut resolution to this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
