Why not give your parents the N54L & build yourself a NAS that you can upgrade as & when required. The advantage of doing it this way is that the N54 has 5 drive bays available should you wish to use it as a backup destination for your own server.

@Joe Bethersonton Did you set the USB's vid & pid?

A quick search of the forum & you would have found this guide.

@Gordon Pullar please do not create multiple posts regarding the same issue, I have deleted your other post & edited this one to include some of the information from the other post. In in order for people to help you it is a good idea to say what version of DSM you are trying to install together with the loader you are using. I would also suggest you search the forums to see if anyone else is using that board & have a read through the FAQ's.

I'm pretty sure Synology disabled root access in DSM 6, you can enable it again if you wish, just do a google search for instructions or you can modify winscp, again google for instructions.

1: DSM has been installed on all HDD's but the USB with the loader is needed for booting so should be left plugged in. Check your bios settings the ensure everything is ok. 2: You're running 6.1 but 6.2 is the latest version so you will get the notification in control panel but you can just ignore it. 3: Correct, quickconnect won't work, however it is easy to setup external access. Check out the FAQ's.

I do it manually but I believe you can automate it.

Boot from a Ubuntu live USB & initialise the disks then you can do a clean install.

Why not setup Photo Station on the server & use the DSPhoto app on your phone, works great for me.

No problem, for future reference you can message myself or one of the other moderators to get the thread moved.

@simkard Please do not post multiple threads about the same topic, I have deleted your other thread.

DSM is installed to all HDD's, you can't choose where to install it.

@trek102 DSM is installed on all HHD's so you should be able to just move them into to N54L, however as the model will be different you should get the option to migrate. Things to check before doing this, what version of DSM is currently installed on your 212/213 as you will need to match the loader accordingly. The loaders can be found here: Don.t forget to disable C1E support in the bios & set the correct vid & pid of the USB stick& as always backup any important data before proceeding. I would also advise checking out the FAQ's.

You're right that the DS3615xs no longer supports SHR out of the box, however it can be enabled but you have to SSH into the server & edit /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf, this file is readonly so enter following command: sudo -i vi /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf comment out/delete supportraidgroup="yes" then add support_syno_hybrid_raid="yes" Once done reboot the server & SHR should be available as on option.

Yes, remember to disable C1E support in the bios.

@bearcat @zodde This is an English forum please make any replies in English.

Welcome to the forum, check out the FAQ's for a guide on setting up external access.

Thebay bios is the one generally used & can be found here: https://www.avforums.com/threads/hp-n36l-n40l-n54l-microserver-updated-ahci-bios-support.1521657/ Also don't forget to set the USB's vid & pid & you should be good to go.

If you had mentioned in your original post that you were using a Mac you could have saved yourself a lot of hassle.

You can create the USB stick with win32diskimager but in order to edit the cfg file you must mount it in osfmount.

Did you mount the img file in osfmount?

@Flarup did you set the USB's vid & pid? To update the cig file you can use osfmount or the xpenology tool which has other utilities too

Other than creating a fresh USB stick & using a different HDD I'm afraid not, all I can say is that it does work with the N54L.

Yes you can, however performance may be affected.

@bajwha If you had done a quick google search you would have found that thebay bios can be found here: https://www.avforums.com/threads/hp-n36l-n40l-n54l-microserver-updated-ahci-bios-support.1521657/
