Frequently Asked Questions - Sentinel RX4100 WESTERN DIGITAL
How do I access the Sentinel RX4100 dashboard?
Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the NAS. The default login is admin with no password. Reset via the reset button if needed.
What RAID configuration should I use?
For data protection, use RAID 5 (requires at least 3 drives). For performance, use RAID 0 (no redundancy). For maximum redundancy, use RAID 1 (2 drives).
How do I replace a failed hard drive?
Identify the failed drive by the warning light. Power off the NAS, remove the drive tray, insert a new drive of equal or larger capacity, and rebuild the RAID via the dashboard.
Can I access my files remotely?
Yes, enable WD My Cloud or FTP/WebDAV in the dashboard. You may need to configure port forwarding on your router.
How do I perform a factory reset?
Press and hold the Reset button on the back for 10 seconds using a paperclip. The NAS will reboot and restore default settings.
The NAS is overheating. What should I do?
Check that the fan is spinning and dust filters are clean. Ensure the device is in a well-ventilated area. If the issue persists, contact support.
How do I update the firmware?
Go to Settings > Firmware Update in the dashboard. Click 'Check for Updates' and follow the prompts. Do not power off during update.
What is the default IP address of the NAS?
The NAS obtains an IP via DHCP by default. Check your router's DHCP list or use the WD Discovery utility to find it.
Can I use different size hard drives?
Yes, but in a RAID array, the capacity will be limited to the smallest drive. For best performance, use identical drives.
How do I set up a backup schedule?
In the dashboard, go to Backup > Schedule. Choose source, destination, frequency, and enable the backup job.
