Loading DSM 4.1 on N54L please help

[glenncol]

Hello all.

 

I have recently purchased a HP N54L microserver and would love to install the Synology OS on it.

 

I have come across this page and followed the instructions but got stuck.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17

 

At Step 6 i did as requested and booted off the USB stick and got the DOS type screen as indicated

 

This is where i got lost, it stayed on that screen and did not come up with the Synology Assistant screen like in step 7

 

I was wondering if you could shed any light in this or have other instructions on how to do it?

 

Thanks heaps

Your N54L should be on the same network as your PC. Step 7 is running Synology Assistant on your other PC, not on the microserver. You get synology assistant from here:

And use the DSM images from this thread:

Thank heaps mate, got it going like a beauty

 

I have one quick question

When trying to add some add-ins via the package center, it asks where you want them installed and only gives the option of the HD's not you USB drive

 

Is this the norm?

 

I would have preferred the OS and add-ins being running form the same drive

OS is installed on system partitions on ALL your hard drives. Data partitions, combined in RAID is for user volumes and applications installed there. If there are multiple volumes, you can select them as a destination for applications. USB flash is for bootloader only. Nothing else goes there.
