1. Application Download
Option 1: Scan the QR code below or the QR code on the device using your phone to install the
"UGREEN NAS" app.
Option 2: Go to UGREEN's official website (https://nas.ugreen.com/download), download and
install the corresponding application.

2. Binding & Settings
Step 1: Add Device
① Please ensure that the NAS device and your phone or computer are on the same LAN.
② Open "UGREEN NAS". The system will automatically search for devices. You can also add a
device by scanning the QR code on the bottom of the device.
③ Select the device you want to add and click "Connect".
Step 2: Initialize the Device
① After adding the device, you will enter the initialization settings interface.
② In this interface, please complete the following operations:
· Name the device: Name your device to ensure it's easy to identify and manage.
· Create a local administrator account: Register a local administrator account for the device to
manage the device.
· Register and bind UGREEN Cloud account (optional): If you want to use additional functions
such as UGREENlink and Quick Login. You can choose to register a UGREEN Cloud account
and bind your device. If not, you can choose to skip this step and use only the local account
to log in to the device.
③ After completing the above operations, please check the update system option (required) and
the device analysis improvement plan option (not required), then you can start using the device.
Note: If the device does not undergo the initialization process, its status will be displayed as
"Not Initialized".
Step 3: Set up Storage Mode
Enter the "UGREEN NAS" > "Storage Manager", then you can set up storage mode and
configure storage space.

RAID Modes
RAID Type
Description
Requires at least 2 drives. Available capacity is equal to the total capacity of all member hard drives.
JBOD
No data redundancy is provided.
If any drive fails, all of the data cannot be restored.
Requires only 1 drive. Available capacity is equal to the capacity of the hard drive.
Basic
No data redundancy is provided.
If the hard drive fails, all of the data cannot be restored.
Requires at least 2 drives. Available capacity is equal to the total capacity of all member hard drives.
In RAID 0, data are divided into blocks and split across multiple drives; therefore, theoretical read/write
RAID 0
speed is n times that of a single drive.
If any drive fails, all of the data cannot be restored.
Requires at least 2 drives. In RAID 1, data are mirrored on all drives.
RAID 1
The volume of the smallest member drive determines the total capacity of the storage pool.
If any drive fails, it can be replaced and the lost data will be recovered.
Tip
· In JBOD storage mode, failure of a single hard drive amounts to storage failure for all drives.
· The capacity of new hard drive that used to replace the failed drive must be larger than the capacity of the
smallest drive in RAID 1 storage configuration.
· When the number of failed hard drives exceeds the number allowed by selected mode, all data in the
corresponding storage pool will be lost and cannot be restored.
Notice!
If the system prompts you to format the hard drive when configuring storage space, please back up all the important
data in advance. After formatting, all data in the storage space will be removed and cannot be restored.
