Frequently Asked Questions - ITS-5216-8P2TB-WV Planet
How do I access the NAS for the first time?
Connect the NAS to your network via Ethernet, power it on, and use the Planet Discovery Tool (download from Planet website) to find its IP address. Then open a web browser and enter the IP to reach the login page. Default username and password are usually 'admin' and 'admin' or as printed on the device.
Can I use any SATA drive with this NAS?
Yes, the ITS-5216-8P2TB-WV supports both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA HDDs and SSDs. For optimal performance, use NAS-rated drives like WD Red or Seagate IronWolf.
How do I set up RAID on this NAS?
After installing drives, log in to the web interface, go to 'Storage Manager' and select 'Create RAID Group'. Choose the RAID level (e.g., RAID 1 for mirroring) and follow the wizard. Note that creating RAID may erase existing data on the drives.
What file sharing protocols are supported?
The NAS supports SMB/CIFS (for Windows), AFP (for macOS), NFS (for Linux), FTP, and WebDAV. You can enable them in the 'File Services' section of the web interface.
How do I back up my computer to the NAS?
Use the NAS's built-in Backup & Restore application. Install the agent on your computer (Windows or macOS) and schedule backups to a shared folder on the NAS. Alternatively, use third-party tools like Acronis or rsync.
Can I access my files remotely?
Yes, enable Cloud Sync or VPN in the NAS settings. You can also use the Planet QuickConnect service for easy remote access without complex network configuration.
How do I update the NAS firmware?
Download the latest firmware from the Planet support site. In the web interface, go to 'System Update' and upload the firmware file. The NAS will reboot automatically. Ensure no active connections during update.
What should I do if the NAS becomes unresponsive?
Try a soft reset by pressing the reset button on the back for 5 seconds. If that fails, perform a hard reset by holding the button for 15 seconds (restores factory defaults). Data on drives will remain intact unless you choose to wipe.
How do I clean and maintain the NAS?
Power off and unplug the NAS. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Clean the air vents with a vacuum cleaner on low suction. Avoid liquids or compressed air that might damage components. Check fan operation every few months.
Can I replace the hard drives without losing data?
If using a RAID 1, 5, or 10, you can hot-swap a failed drive with a new one (check manual for compatibility). For non-RAID configurations, replace one drive at a time and copy data back after installation.
