  1. Wow, oskarw, that is just awesome, a start to finish upgrade tutorial, specifically tailored for people like me with headless units. I'll also post this to the SS4200 Google Group where I know others have XPEnology installed as well.

  2. I also have 4.2 and want to upgrade to DSM 5.

     

    But I am running an SS4200 without a display (there is no video card) or keyboard (though there are USB ports).

     

    Can this upgrade be done without a display/keyboard, just like Trantor's 4.2 install?

  3. Thanks for the detailed steps. Will updated 4.2 v 1.2 to 5.0 beta work as well?

     

    Will all my data be preserved, or will I have to restore from a backup (I use Time Backup)?

     

    If 5.0 fails for me, can I swap my old 4.2 USB key back and get everything back?

     

    I have updated 4.3-3810 to 5.0-4418 .... following this steps:

     

    01. Download DSM 5.0-4418 from http://xpenology.trantor.be/xpenology.com/417d8593b25892172333cbd43a428d6a/52e78fb7/XPEnology_DS3612xs_5.0_BETA.7z

    02. Extract the file

    03. Burn img file with this program https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8476146/qnology/win32diskimager-binary06.rar

    04. Eject the USB

     

    05. Shutdown Synology

    06. Exchange USB Flash drive with new one ( 5.0-4418 )

    07. Power on Synology & DSM will boot normally

    08. Launch Synology Assistant on your second PC

    09. Click 'Search'

    10. If you've done everything correctly you'll see a new 'DiskStation' has been found.

    11. Disconnect the USB flash drive from the Synology for this next step

    12. Right-click on new 'DiskStation' and choose 'Install'

    13. Browse and select the new downloaded version (5.0-4418.pat)

    14. Choose a Name for the DiskStation, a new default admin password and IP configuration

    15. After installation is complete the DiskStation will reboot automatically.

    16. Turn OFF Synology manually now

    17. Isert the same USB Flash drive ( 5.0-4418) back into Synology

    18. Power on Synology & DSM will boot normally

    19. In Synology Assistant click 'Search' again

    20. Depending on the name and network config you chose during installation you will see now a DiskStation has been found with the NAME you chose

     

     

    Probably many of you know that already, but still ...
