For other x86 based NAS, please download the firmware 3.4.x from QNAP website and use
QNAP Finder to update the firmware.
16. After firmware update by QNAP Finder, you can then plug the HDD(s) back to the NAS. After boot
up,
If the HDD(s) have been used on the NAS before, the firmware on the NAS and the HDDs may
be inconsistent, you need to update the firmware again.
If the HDD(s) is brand new, you can then start the initialization procedures.
