Chapter 3: Install DSM on DiskStation

Once the hardware is ready, your DiskStation requires DiskStation Manager (DSM) – the operating system

specifically designed for Synology NAS – to start working.

We highly recommend using Synology’s online Web Assistant for installing DSM from the web browser. Synology

Web Assistant automatically downloads the latest available software updates from the Internet and guides you

through the installation. You can also use Synology Assistant available in the installation disc in your package to

complete DSM installation via personal computer.

Install DSM from the Web Browser

By default your DiskStation model has a built-in tool called Web Assistant to help you configure and install the

DSM operating system. Please refer to the steps in the following section.

1 Power on DiskStation and have it connected to the Internet.

2 Depending on your network environment, there are two ways to start DSM installation on your computer’s web

browser:

 With Internet access: Go to find.synology.com

 Without Internet access: Go to diskstation:5000

3 Web Assistant will be launched on your web browser. It will search and find your DiskStation within LAN, and

the status of your DiskStation should be Not Installed.

4 Click Connect to start the setup process. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup process.

Note:

1. Suggested browsers: Chrome, Firefox.

2. Both the DiskStation and the computer should be in the same local network.

3. Internet connection must be available during DSM installation with Web Assistant.
