Enable configuration reset switch: When this is enabled, you can press the reset button for 3 seconds to reset the administrator password and the system settings to default (NAS data will be retained) or 10 seconds for advanced system reset.
o
Basic system reset: You will hear a beep after pressing and holding the reset button. The following settings will be reset to default:
▪
System administration password: admin.
▪
TCP/IP configuration: Obtain IP address settings automatically via DHCP.
▪
TCP/IP configuration: Disables Jumbo Frames.
▪
TCP/IP configuration: If port trunking is enabled, the port trunking mode will be reset to "Active Backup (Failover)".
▪
System port: 8080 (system service port.)
▪
Security level: Low (Allows all connections.)
▪
LCD panel password: (blank); this feature is only for NAS models with LCD panels.
▪
VLAN will be disabled.
▪
Service binding: All NAS services will be run on all available network interfaces.
o
Advanced system reset: You will hear two beeps after continuously pressing the reset button. The NAS will reset all system settings to default (similar to the system reset in "Administration" > "Restore to Factory Default") except all the NAS data will be reserved. Settings such as users, user groups, and shared folders will be cleared. To retrieve old data after an advanced system reset, create the same shared folders on the NAS and the data will be accessible again.
•
Enable hard disk standby mode: This option allows the NAS drives to enter standby mode if there is no disk access within the specified period. Note that during standby mode, the system LED on the NAS will be off but the HDD status LED will remain steady.
•
Enable light signal alert when the free size of SATA disk is less than the value: The status LED will flash red and green if this option is enabled and the free space of the SATA hard drive is less than the set value.
•
Enable write cache (EXT4 only): If the NAS disk volume uses EXT4, enable this option for higher write performance. Note that an unexpected system shutdown may lead to data loss. It is recommended to disable this option if the NAS is set as shared storage in a virtualized or clustered environment.
•
Enable warning alert for redundant power supply on the web-based interface: If two power supply units (PSU) are installed on the NAS and connected to the power sockets, both PSU will supply the power to the NAS (applied to 1U and 2U models.) Turn on the redundant power supply mode in "System Settings" > "Hardware" to receive warnings for the redundant power supply. The NAS will sound and record error messages in "System Logs" if the PSU is plugged out or does not respond correctly. If only one PSU is installed on the NAS, DO NOT enable this option. This function is disabled by default.
•
Turn on LED light: If your NAS has a LED indicator (ex. TS-453mini), you can choose to turn on its LED indicator, set the LED brightness level and configure a schedule for the brightness setting. This function is only applicable on some models.
Audio Alert
You can configure the buzzer or speaker alarm for system operations and events. The following options are available:
•
System operations: After enabling this option, the system will beep or announce system messages (see the below list for available audio messages) when system operations occur (such as booting and firmware updates).
•
System events: After enabling this option, the system will beep or announce system messages (see the below list for available audio messages) when system events occur (such as system errors or warnings).
•
Enable speech notification: After enabling this option, beep sounds for certain events will be replaced by speech (refer to the events list at the end of this section). You can also choose the audio language and adjust the volume. If this option is not enabled, the system will only beep when system operations are executed and system events occur.
The volume control on the Audio Alert page can only adjust the volume for audio messages, while the volume control on the QTS desktop controls the volume for sounds other than audio messages. For example, if the volume on the QTS desktop is muted, and the volume control on the Audio Alert page is adjusted to the maximum volume, you will still hear audio messages.
Available audio messages:
•
System boot completed
•
Shutting down
•
Updating firmware now, please do not turn off the power
•

Audio test
Note:
•
Speech notification is only available for certain NAS models. Refer to the official QNAP website for details.
•
Speech notification messages will not be played if the built-in speaker (available only on certain NAS models) is being used by another app (such as the Music Station player).
•
If event B occurs while the system is still announcing an audio message for event A, the system will not announce event B.
Smart Fan
After enabling Smart Fan, the fan rotation speed will be automatically adjusted according to the NAS temperature and you can define the temperature settings to increase or decrease the fan rotation speed. By manually setting the fan rotation speed, the fan will continuously rotate at the defined speed. The following settings are available:
•
Enable smart fan (recommended): Select to use the default smart fan settings or to manually define the temperature settings. For the default smart fan settings, the system will self-monitor the CPU temperatures and automatically adjust the fan speed accordingly. You can also set three self-defined settings to either maintain the temperature at certain level, to run the fan at the lowest speed, or to run the fan at the highest speed if the temperature reaches a temperature setting.
•
Set fan rotation speed manually: By manually setting the fan rotation speed, the fan will continually rotate at this speed.
Note:
•
For NAS models with multiple fans, you can individually set the fans for the system block and CPU block. For these models, there are three fan modes available for the system block:
o
Quiet mode: In this mode, the fan will rotate at the lowest possible speed to minimize noise.
o
Normal mode: In this mode, the system will adjust the fan speed intelligently and automatically.
o
Performance mode: In this mode, the fan will rotate at the highest possible speed to reduce the system temperature.
•
The NAS will automatically shut down to protect itself if a temperature threshold is exceeded. The threshold values vary depending on NAS models.
