burton666 Posted January 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2017 I know there are alot of install guides for similar tasks but I do not understand how to get to 6.0.2 from scratch. I had DSM 5.1 installed on a HP N54L before it crached and when I tried to reinstall it something went wrong and every time the server rebooted it stopped working until I reinstalled again. Do I need to install DSM 5.2 before I try to upgrade to 6.0.2 ? Or is it possible to install 6.0.2 directly? If so could someone post a link to a woking guide. I found a guide for 5.2 but it was from 2013 and I guess the install instructions would have been updated since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burton666 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks for the info, I only have one more question. In the tutorial this is some of the steps: Change sn=C7LWN09761 to sn=[your sn] Change mac1=0011322CA785 to mac1=[your mac address] Is this something I find in my server hardware or how do I find out what values to use?

koroziv Posted January 22, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 22, 2017 Changing sn and mac is not mandatory for installing dsm. That step is required only if you want to use the synology quickconnect service. Personally I had much better results using a free dns like noip or whatever you like.

For the S/N you can leave as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
