System Initialization
There’s a few steps to go through. First, we can choose between a light or dark theme, and whether to choose a 1-click setup or a custom setup. With two of the four bays occupied, the 1-click setup chooses a RAID 1 configuration. I’m going with a custom setup simply to show what other options are available.
Basic Settings
Choose a name for the server, an account name, and a password. Make sure you choose a strong password.
Next I’m prompted to select a time zone, date and time format, and how to set up the time. It’s all pretty explanatory. The default is to synchronize time from a remote server. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used by hundreds of millions of computers and devices to synchronize their clocks over the Internet.
Next there are some network settings. I didn’t make any changes here.
