The DS413j NAS from Synology is mostly aimed for homes and small offices in need of high storage space, without the need of breaking the bank to get it. The product comes with an older chassis version and runs the latest version of the highly praised DSM, which means that it comes with a lot of features and its interface is really intuitive, easy to use.
The latest DSM version can be found on the Synology website for download:
For flashing DSM, we will need the Synology Assistant application, found on the supplied disk or on the web. After the NAS has been detected on the network, we will also get other information from it:
The Assistant will first require the location of the downloaded DSM kit file:
Afterwards, we will have to enter up a new “admin” account password, and specify the NAS name throughout the network:
On the next step, we can specify the network settings for the NAS:
The Assistant will show us all the steps that will be performed for completing the setup, along with a progress bar:
After the initial setup has been completed, we can login straight to the web interface:
The login screen will require the username and password, so we will enter up the admin account credentials:
In order to be able to use the storage space on the installed drives, we will have to create one or more volumes:
