Glad you’re up & running.

Have you disabled C1E in the bios? What DSM version are you trying to install?

Yes you can manually update it.

@Bungles300arms your data will still be intact, the update only changes the system partitions, if you follow the instructions in this guide you can downgrade to 6.2.3

First welcome to the forum, second there is no need to upgrade to 6.2.4 as it doesn’t bring anything new & 6.2.3 is stable. Going forward it’s unlikely there will be any effort given to make 6.2.4 work given that Synology will be releasing DSM 7 later this year so it would make sense for jun or anyone else to concentrate on that.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it’s not going to work as the N40L has an AMD CPU, VMM requires an Intel CPU.

DSM is installed on all drives by default & cannot be changed.

@mbaracit’s good practice to disable the admin account for security. Remember to create an additional user with admin privileges before doing so though.

I’d recommend the bay bios as well, I’ve used it on all my N40 & N54’s.

Ouroboros will automatically update any running containers, Heimdall is just a way to organise any links you may frequently use. Mkvtoolnix is a video conversion tool that I sometimes use to remove foreign language streams from MKV files. The nice thing about running mkvtoolnix & calibre via docker is that they are both updated automatically to the latest version by Ouroboros & I have access to them without needing my PC.

I'm a fan of docker too, a few containers you might find useful are: portainer, ouroboros & heimdall. I also have calibre ebook server & mkvtoolnix running as containers.

What issues are you having with VMM?

VMM won’t work on the N54L as it requires an Intel CPU.
