How to upgrade firmware for buffalo NAS drive

Load Nas Navigator2 and it will bring up it's built-in web page. When it finds it it will display it's properties inc. serial number. The default user is 'admin' and the password is 'password' as default.. unless you have changed that. If that doesn't work look to Buffalo Support as they are very good.

The reset procedure for yours is partway down the page under LS-XL. Sorry I couldn't give you a direct link, but they used javascript instead of HTML anchors on the page.

Unfortunately, it is not possible in NAS unless it has a facility to mount LUN to windows server by ISCASI.

Specs only indicate Windows. No iOS. Might be cause of the RAID configuration / software.

Though it does support HTTP and FTP protocols.

You have antivirus installed on this NAS system? You will want to look up the product manual for that product and see if it allows antivirus programs to be installed. Some NAS stations come with built in anti virus. You could even contact their support to get a list of "SUPPORTED" anti virus software. At which point, you will have to telnet or console into the data storage system and install the software. You could probably install the files through a CIFS connection but it would be best to contact Buffalo support as they can walk you through the proper steps.

Red ERROR LED The way the unit gives diagnostic codes is by long and short flashes of the specific light. The number of long flashes give the first of two numbers and the number of short flashes give the second. For instance, one long flash and three short flashes would indicate an error of 13 -
E 00
(No light, beep only) - MPU error E 01 DRAM data line error E 02 DRAM address line error E 03 RTC chip error E 04 Flash rom error E 10 UPS power loss E 11 fan error (RPM too low or not functional) E 12 cooling error (unable to remove heat by the fan) E 15 disk error E 16 unable to locate internal HDD E 17 Unable to communicate with the RTC chip E 21 unable to communicate with the Phy chip E 22 mount error. The original Buffalo firmware has the following error messages based on the number of flashes:
3 Partition problem with hard drive. Reformat the hard drive. 4 Fan problem. 5 ROM problem. 6 Hard Drive can not be recognized. 7 Problem with motherboard (RAM, LAN, or Hard Drive controller). Exerted from http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Information/LSProLED

I hope this has been helpful, unfortunately without more information I cannot help any further.

Hello raissateddy
Go to the Control panel and select " Folder Options \View " and check " show hidden files , folders and drives " .

petrykja,
I have the same issue as you. I bought an encloser to hold my drives (that i already owned). My firmware is showing 0.38 so I don't think the firmware is housed on the hard drive. However, when I try to upgrade the firmware it says that it can't find the drive to load from. So I think the firmware is first loaded to one of the drives and then to the motherboard. Not sure. Any luck with this wince December?
