| Install firmware |
Three methods are provided for you to install the NAS firmware.
 |
 |
 |
If your NAS is connected to the Internet, install the firmware by using the "Cloud Key" on the box (or the NAS itself.)
|
If your NAS is not connected to the internet, you can use Qfinder Pro to find your NAS over LAN for installing firmware.
|
If your NAS supports HDMI output, you can connect it to an HDMI display and follow on-screen instructions to install the firmware. You will need a USB keyboard or QNAP IR remote control to complete this method (the TS-269H does not support this function).
