Chapter 3: Install DSM on DiskStation
After hardware setup is finished, please install DiskStation Manager (DSM) – a browser-based operating system
specifically designed for Synology NAS.
We highly recommend using Synology’s Web Assistant to install DSM with a web browser. Synology Web
Assistant can automatically download the latest software from the Internet and guide you through installation.
Install DSM with Web Assistant
Your DiskStation comes with a built-in tool called Web Assistant to help you configure and install DSM. To use
Web Assistant, please follow the steps below.
1 Power on the DiskStation.
2 Open a web browser on a computer in the same network as the DiskStation.
3 Depending on your network environment, do either of the following:
a If you have Internet access, go to find.synology.com.
b If you do not have Internet access, go to diskstation:5000 and follow the onscreen instructions.
4 Web Assistant will be launched in your web browser. It will search and find your DiskStation within the local
network. The status of your DiskStation should be Not Installed.
5 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.
