Initializing ASUSTOR NAS

Initializing an ASUSTOR NAS is easy to accomplish in a few steps. 

Steps to follow

  1. Finding ASUSTOR NASS and Updating ADM
  2. Initializing the NASS

Finding ASUSTOR NAS and Updating ADM

Download and install ASUSTOR Control Center from the website.


The installation wizard will install ASUSTOR Control Center onto your computer. After ASUSTOR Control Center has been installed, it will automatically begin to scan your network for ASUSTOR NAS devices.

To begin initializing the NAS, click the Uninitialized status bar.

Once you click the initialization bar, you will be prompted and taken to a new window where you can update ADM.


Click next to go to the ADM UPDATE page, where you'll be able to install and update ASUSTOR OS. From this point, select the update option for live updates and click next.

The ADM update will begin shortly and will be restarted once the update is complete.

Initializing the NAS

If you already know your NAS’s current IP address, you can open up a web browser and enter in your NAS’s IP address (for example: http://192.168.1.168:8000) to begin initialization.

From the first window, choose the installation method and appearance; this window will provide you two options for configuring the NAS.
  1. One-click setup—The system itself select the suitable raid, Easy setup
  2. Custom Setup—User defined


Following the next window, set date and time


Next, set the IPA settings


From the next page, in One Click Setup Mode, the setup will allow you to set the administrator details and RAID (NAS will select the suitable RAID configuration) settings in one window. In manual mode, the setup will prompt you with a new window.
Click "initialization" to start initializing the NAS

Once the initialization is complete, the system redirects to the Login Page.


Please follow the instructions from the installation wizard to complete the configuration process.


Log in with your admin credentials to start using your ASUSTOR NAS.
