Setup –
Synology has a reputation for launching devices that are easy to set up, and the DS918+ is no different.
1. Unbox the DS918+
2. Insert the Drives, RAM module, SSD cache, etc according to preference
3. Boot up the DS918+
4. Follow on-screen instructions to install the Synology OS onto the drives
5. Setup the Admin account and choose the storage configuration
Once the setup is complete, you can dive in and really get to know the DS918+, thanks to Synology’s very straightforward and easy to use OS. Built to resemble a standard desktop interface, you can quickly look at drive conditions, reconfigure file access and disk quotas, and install additional software.
There is also a huge library of applications that can be installed like you would install any app on your smartphone. Just click the ‘install’ button and you are good to go.
The DS918+ can handle more than one application working in the background, but be aware, too many applications will slow the system down and that is something you definitely do not want. Stick to one or two applications at a time to enjoy maximum performance.
