[New to XPEnology and New Install]

And do you need MyDS to connect to the server from an offsite source?

And for WOL?

[New to XPEnology and New Install]

Hi there, finally decided to set up a media server and read that people were installing xpenology instead of freenas now.

 

I've bought a HP microserver GT610T.

I had trouble downloading the files from this site, there isnt a link or prompt when I click for the current boot; so I downloaded from http://xpenology.me/

 

So I have XPEnoboot DSM 5.1 as the boot file

and DSM 5.1-5055 (Only vs XPEnoboot) DSM file.

 

I have it all installed though the tutorial was horrendous, couldnt follow a thing, think because 5.1 is new and noone has made a tutorial for it, cos it's a little different.

 

So I have my raid set up, but I used my 16GB micro SD instead of my 8GB one; so first I want to change the micro usb.

Do I just use diskimager to create a new bootable usb, and just plug that in? Or are there other settings or files to consider?

 

Second, on http://xpenology.me/ I've just read something about synology MAC and serial valid pairs.

Now I am confused. Do I need to do this pairing thing first before setting up my NAS?

And if I really need to do this, can I still do it or will I have to restart the entire install?
