Can you do what you have mentioned without any drives in the unit?
As currently, there are no drives in it, and I plan on reselling them empty.
When I purchased them, I received instructions on how to perform the initial setup. I had to install the drives, power on the unit, the blue light flashed for approx 2 minutes, then I had solid blue and red lights. I then had to press the Function button on the back, which made the red light start flashing, which meant that the NAS was performing the setup. This took approx 10-15 minutes. Then everything was good to go.
This is how I would like it to be when I resell the unit.
Thanks.
