System Modes and LED Indicators

System Modes and Denitions

There are 7 system modes in Synology NAS. The System modes and their denitions are as below:

System mode Denition

Powering on Synology NAS is powering on and performing hardware initialization, such as

hardware reset or BIOS initialization.

Shutting down Synology NAS is shutting down as a result of pressing the power button or operation

in DSM.

DSM not ready

DSM is not ready for use. This could either be:

• Synology NAS is powered on, but DSM is not properly installed.

• Synology NAS is currently powering on and initializing services necessary for

DSM to fully function.

• The attached UPS device has insu󰀩cient power; DSM stops all services to

prevent data loss (enters safe mode).

DSM is ready for use DSM is fully functioning and users can sign in.

Hibernation Synology NAS has been idle for a while and is now in Hibernation mode.

Application

Certain packages/services (e.g., USB Copy and Find me service) while in operation

will control the actions of the LED. After the operation is complete, the LED indicator

will return to its normal state.

Powered o󰀨 Synology NAS is powered o󰀨.

• Enter hibernation then wake up from hibernation:

DSM is ready for use > Hibernation > DSM is ready for use

• Shutdown Synology NAS:

DSM is ready for use > Shutting down > Powered o󰀨

• Power failure with UPS attached:

DSM is ready for use > DSM not ready (due to power failure, DSM enters safe mode) > Shutting down >

Powered o󰀨 > Powering on (power has recovered, DSM will reboot)> DSM not ready > DSM is ready for use
