Initializing QNE Using Stand-alone Mode

Stand-alone Mode is useful for managing a single local device. In this mode, you must manage the device with local accounts, but you can remotely access the device using the myQNAPcloud service.

Warning:

Installing QNE deletes all data on the drives. Back up your data before proceeding.

  1. Power on the device.
  2. Connect the device to your local area network.
  3. Run Qfinder Pro on a computer that is connected to the same local area network.
    Note:

    To download Qfinder Pro, go to https://www.qnap.com/utilities.

  4. Locate the device in the list and double-click the name or IP address.

    The Smart Installation Guide opens in the default web browser.

  5. Perform any of the following actions.

    • To install the out-of-the-box version, click Next.

    • To check for the latest available version, click Check for Update, and then click Update. The device restarts after the wizard downloads the latest available version. If a newer version is unavailable, the wizard automatically displays the Smart Installation Guide.

    • To manually specify a version, click Browse, select a file, and then click Update.

  6. Click Start under Stand-alone Mode.
    Tip:

    QNAP recommends enabling auto-update for software components. This ensures that your system stays up to date.

  7. Specify the following information.

    • Host name: Specify a name with 1 to 15 characters. The name supports letters (A to Z, a to z), numbers (0 to 9), and hyphens (-), but cannot end with a hyphen.

    • Username: Specify a name with 1 to 32 characters. The name supports letters (A to Z, a to z), numbers (0 to 9), and hyphens (-), but cannot end with a hyphen.

    • Password: Specify an administrator password with 1 to 64 characters. The password supports all ASCII characters.

    • Confirm password: Enter your password again.

  8. Click Next.
  9. Review application disk information.
    Important:

    QNE stores the data of virtual machines and containers on application disks. If you have already installed disks on the device, QNE automatically configures disks and chooses an appropriate RAID type based on the number of disks. If you have not installed disks, QNAP recommends shutting down the device after the initialization and then installing disks.

  10. Click Next.
  11. Specify the time zone, date, and time.
    Tip:

    QNAP recommends connecting to an NTP server to ensure that the device follows the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) standard.

  12. Click Apply.

    QNE is installed.
