To be able to use a Synology NAS, the first thing to do is install the DSM operating system for the device. Here we have two ways to install: install via a computer using Web Assistant and install on a phone using DS finder.
1.Set up DSM using Web Assistant
Step 1: Insert the hard drive, turn on the NAS device and plug the LAN cord into the same network layer as the computer

Step 3: Select your uninstalled NAS device and click Connect on the Web Assistant
Step 4: Click Install to start the installation and follow the on-screen instructions
To install the DSM operating system, you should go to the website of Synology (https://www.synology.com/support/download) to download the installation and install the local mode on the NAS device. You must find the correct device code before you can install it
Step 5: Find the installation file on your computer, then click Next
At this point, 1 warning will be displayed on the screen that all data on the drive will be deleted. Select “I understand…” and select Continue. It takes about 10 minutes for the NAS device to install the operating system
Step 6: When the device has finished installing DSM, we must now name and set an administrator account for the NAS device, then we click Next to continue
