on your 824x based NAS system you need to get access to its serial console.
|
|
|
|
|
This requires to open the case, locate the serial header on the main board
|
|
|
|
|
and attach a (usually
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn "MAX232"
|
|
|
|
|
based) RS/232 cable to it, which you will
|
|
|
|
|
connect to a terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
The detailed procedure to build such a cable for your NAS system is not
|
|
|
|
|

When auto-booting is enabled this will usually require to press a key

Then load the
