Safety Instructions
For optimized cooling during normal operation, keep out of from direct sunlight. During a high temperature event such as a fire, the internal HDD’s are protected from data loss (1550F, 30 minutes per ASTM E-119) when the Front Cover is properly installed on the device. Please contact ioSafe (http://iosafe.com) for assistance during any data recovery event. During normal operation, do not place the ioSafe product close to any liquid. During a flood or water exposure (10′ depth, full immersion, 3 days) the internal HDDs are protected from data loss when the Waterproof Drive Cover is sufficiently tightened to the internal HDD chassis. Please contact ioSafe (http://iosafe.com) for assistance during any data recovery event. Before cleaning, properly shut down by pressing and holding the front power button then unplug the power cord. Wipe ioSafe product with moist cloth. Avoid chemical or aerosol cleaners for cleaning as they may affect the finish.
The power cord must plug in to the right supply voltage. Make sure that the supplied AC voltage is correct and stable.
To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.
Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during the entire installation process to eliminate possible ESD damage to the equipment. Wear an approved ESD wrist strap that is grounded when you handle an ESD-sensitive device.
CAUTION: Risk of Explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to their instructions

Hard Drive Installation (For Diskless Version
Only)
This section shows how to install hard drives into a 223 Did you purchase your 223 preloaded with Hard Drives? Skip to “Initial Setup of Disk Station Manager” on page 13. Tools and Parts for Hard Drive Installation
Needed: A Phillips screwdriver 3mm Hex Tool (included with the ioSafe 223) At least one 3.5″ SATA hard drive
(Please visit https://cdsg.com/hardware-compatibility for compatible hard drive models.) Note: For a RAID1 set, it is recommended that all installed drives be the same size to make the best use of hard disk capacity. Warning: If you install a hard drive that contains data, the 223 will format the hard drive and erase all data. If you need the data in the future, please back it up before installation.
8
Install Hard Drives
1 Remove the Front Cover using the included 3mm Hex Tool. NOTE: All hex screws used in the 223 are designed to be captive to avoid accidental loss.
2 Remove Waterproof Drive Cover using the 3mm Hex Tool.
3 Remove both of the Drive Trays using the provided 3mm Hex Tool.

Initial Setup of Disk Station Manager
After hardware setup is finished, please install Synology’s DiskStation Manager (DSM). Synology’s DiskStation Manager (DSM) is a browser-based operating system which provides tools to access and manage your ioSafe. When installation is complete, you will be able to log into DSM and start enjoying all the features of your ioSafe powered by Synology. To get started, please see the steps below. Note: Before beginning the installation process below, make sure that the 223 is connected to your router/switch with the network cable and that the power cord plugged in and the 223 is powered on.
Connecting to the ioSafe using Web Assistant
Your ioSafe comes equipped with a built-in tool called Web Assistant that helps you download the latest version of DSM from the internet and install it on your ioSafe. Before installing DSM with Web Assistant, please check the following: Your computer and your ioSafe must be connected to the same local network. In order to download the latest version of DSM, Internet access must be available during installation.
After confirming, please follow the steps below: 1 Power on your ioSafe. 2 Open a web browser on your computer connected to the same network as the ioSafe. 3 Enter either of the following into the address bar of your browser:
a) find.synology.com b) Diskstation:5000 Note: Web Assistant is optimized for Chrome and Firefox web browsers. 4 Web Assistant will be launched in your web browser. It will search for and find the DiskStation within the local network. The status of the DiskStation should be Not installed.

5 Click Connect to start the setup process. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup process.
Note: 1. ioSafe uses an unmodified version of Synology’s DSM. The software interface will sometimes refer to the
Synology Product the ioSafe is based on; Synology DS223 2. Suggested browsers: Chrome, Firefox. 3. Both the 223 and the computer should be in the same local network. 4. Internet connection must be available during DSM installation with Web Assistant.

System modes and LED Indicators
Appendix B:
Appendix
System Modes definitions
There are 7 system modes in Synology NAS. The System modes and their definitions are as below:
System Mode Powering on Shutting down
DSM is ready for use Hibernation Application
Definition
Synology NAS is powering on when you press the power button or restarting when you run operations in DSM. During the boot up process, the device also performs hardware initialization, such as hardware reset or BIOS initialization.
Synology NAS is shutting down as a result of pressing the power button or operation in DSM.
DSM is not ready for use. This could either be: Synology NAS is powered on, but DSM is not properly installed. Synology NAS is currently powering on and initializing services necessary for DSM to fully function. The attached UPS device has insufficient power; DSM stops all services to prevent data loss (enters safe mode).
DSM is fully functioning, and users can sign in.
Synology NAS has been idle for a while and is now in Hibernation mode.
Certain packages/services (e.g., USB Copy and Find me service) while in operation will control the actions of the LED. After the operation is complete, the LED indicator will return to its normal state.
Application
Synology NAS is powered off.

Transitions between System Modes
To better understand the transition between system modes, please refer to the examples below: · Powered on with no DSM installed: Powered off > Powering on > DSM not ready · Powered on with DSM installed: Powered off > Powering on > DSM not ready > DSM is ready for use · Entering hibernation then waking up from hibernation: DSM is ready for use > In hibernation > DSM is ready for use · Shutdown: DSM is ready for use > Shutting down > Powered off · Power failure with UPS attached: DSM is ready for use > DSM not ready (due to power failure, DSM enters safe mode) > Shutting down > Powered off > Powering on (power has recovered, DSM will reboot) > DSM not ready > DSM is ready for use
