Got a Terastation Pro (TS-1.0TGL/R5) as surplus, with no drives and brackets.
I installed a single Hitachi 1TB drive and the apparently system boots fine, with the obvious drive errors, and it -can- be seen and controlled by the client utility, but the Web interface address returns a "Page not Found" error.
Are the two related? Do you -have- to have four drives installed?
TBubba,
Please only post an issue once, I deleted the other message/thread. You should be able to log into the web interface once you install the firmware.
You may have to do this multiple times before it takes.
The TS Pro downloads do not show a firmware option. Is there one?
Could you clarify your instructions?
Hmmmm, not sure where you are looking.
Go here:

and then select TS Pro and you will see version 1.04 under "firmwares". Make sure the NASNAVI isnt running and you have all firewalls disabled
OK, got the firmware (the download naming conventions are a bit queer), ran it, but there's a catch-22...
It says you must format the HD to continue, but with only one drive the format fails, and thus the firmware update fails!
The firmware is obviously updated, but the TS is still in "EM" mode. How do you get it out of EM mode?
Is this a pointless exercise without four drives?
Did a force update of the firmware, which was reported as successful, but the TS is still in EM mode.
Is there any way to get out of EM mode?
The unit is in EM mode because it is only seeing one drive, When it does not recognize more than 1 drive it will boot into EM mode with NO Array Info...
The unit needs 4 drives to function properly!
The best thing is still to get four drives installed instead of 1.
The reason are that the firmware are actually split into the 4 drives, each containing a small portion that make up the whole firmware.
To save yourself more hassle, just install the other three hdds and then use tftp.
Do you have a TFTP boot image for this model TS-1.0TGL/R5. I can not find it anywhere thus can not use the NAS because it comes to me without any HD inside and I have to do it from the very beginning.

There is no TFTP image for this unit as the boot sequence is located on a flash on the unit, not like the new unit where it is located on the HDD's themseleves.
without any HDD inserted your unit should boot straight away into EM mode. If it does not then you have a duff unit.
I am in a similar boat with my exact same unit. I am unable to TFTP since it is FLASH-based instead of drives. It will not even boot into EM, just stays on 'booting' with or without drives.
Is there by chance any way to reflash the firmware without it finishing to boot, or is this unit also duffed?
Thank you!
