Did you complete DSM installation? It will keep flashing till DSM installation is complete.

No, I just powered it on ? Does DSM installation automatically start on first run ? I can't access the web interface, nor does it detect in my router

No. Visit find.synology.com on any computer on the local network. You will get an option to install DSM from there. It installed very quickly for me and it is running fine after that.

Review units like these don't have any warranty, either the company agree to send another review unit or it doesn't citing it as a bad luck case. Btw is the unit's fan turning on after powering up.

It is turning on, but it just keeps on stuck on blinking blue led

Have the hard drives been dispatched yet?

Will figure out what you can do.

Why do the admins keep evading the question on hard disks? It's been over 10 days since the result was announced and we still don't have so much as a clue as to when we can expect to receive the hard disk, if at all.
I understand there are availability issues and prices have gone up, etc. But what's the harm in letting the participants know what's being planned?

(Getting more anxious abt HDDs cause of this TBH, since the NAS are pretty pointless without HDDs in the first place). Let's hope someone clarifies our doubt soon!
Chia made large capacity hdd as elusive as bitcoin craze made graphics card elusive so no choice, even companies link synology don't know for sure when they will receive their hdd supplies.
@Anorion maybe look into 2TB hdd as their availability is not yet affected & frankly speaking just to review NAS even 1TB hdd are more than enough.
Cool Buddy
Wise Old Owl
Agreed.
I, of course, had no idea what capacity HDD was planned, but since nothing was promised, I guess 1 TB would be ok.
Cool Buddy
Wise Old Owl
Definitely would. But right now, I'd just like to get whatever they can manage.
If it was some other time then it would have been fine but not now during Chia craze.

Are you using the 16A adapter? Asking because I don't want to brick mine as well
Nerevarine

I dont think its bricked because of improper power adapter. If it was, it wouldnt display the blinking blue led as well. But to answer your question, I was using a regular 3 pin computer cable.
