Troubleshooting
NAS not powering on
Check that the AC adapter is securely connected to both the NAS and a working power outlet. Verify the power button is pressed correctly.
Cannot access NAS from network
Ensure the NAS is connected to the network via LAN cable and has a valid IP address. Verify your computer is on the same network. Restart your router and the NAS.
Slow data transfer speeds
Check your network infrastructure for bottlenecks. Consider upgrading to a 10GbE network card if supported by your network. Ensure M.2 NVMe drives are installed for caching if performance is critical.
Drive errors or failures
Run a S.M.A.R.T. test on the affected drive through DSM. If errors persist, back up data immediately and replace the drive. Use Synology-compatible drives for best results.
DSM not accessible after update
Try accessing the NAS via its IP address directly. If unsuccessful, you may need to perform a soft-reset of the NAS to recover DSM access, consult the Synology support site for instructions.
