# Recovery steps

1. Power off the NAS and remove all hard drives

2. Boot the NAS and wait for it to complain about missing hard drives (blinking status LED)

   • The blue led should stop blinking.

   • The NAS should beep indicating a ready step.

   • It has boot with DHCP and has a different IP.
3. Connect to the NAS via a browser as you would normally do it (you might have to find out the IP using your router or use the Synology Assistant)

• It should complain about missing hard drives (duh!)

1. power off (press 4s+ power button)

2. reconnect drive in same order

3. Boot

Hoppefully after 1min it was able to boot / everything seams ok. data and config was kept.
