CherryTree CherryNAS Borg Hive

Welcome to your new CherryTree Star Trek TM CherryNAS Borg Hive.

We really hope you enjoy your new machine. A lot of work and love went into creating this network appliance. Being huge Star TrekTM fans ourselves, the Borg seemed the perfect fit for a NAS device. During the design process we learned why nobody has even attempted such a task before. Creating all the details of the Borg on such a mass scale can be quite a challenge. It was worth it. We love our little CherryNAS Borg Hive & hope you will too.

Quick Setup

  1. Take out your new CherryNAS Borg Hive.

  2. Hook up your network cable.

  3. The CherryNAS is preconfigured to 3 different IP addresses:
    Ethernet Port IX0: 10.0.1.225, IX1: 192.168.1.225, IX3: 192.168.0.225
    – If your current network topology uses one of those IP address ranges, just plug the network cable into the corresponding port.
    – If your network utilizes a different IP range, you need to set your computer to one of the matching IP addresses to configure the NAS via web browser.

  4. Connect the power supply to the case.

  5. Press the Power Button to initiate startup. Lights should turn on indicating the machine is powered on. It will take a little bit of time to boot up.

  6. Once the machine has booted, you can configure your NAS. Username is `root’ and your password is your order number.
    Refer to https://www.truenas.com/docs/ for configuration help.

  7. Press the Power Button to initiate shutdown. Lights should turn off indicating the machine is powered off. It will take a little bit of time to shut down.

Tips

If you love your CherryNAS Borg Hive, it will love you. Follow these tips so your little companion cube can provide the maximum amount of love and hard work for you.

  • Do not place items on top of the cube: There is a fan in the rear vent excess heat. Blocking the holes can overheat your system.
  • Provide the Cube with enough space to vent the heat. Tight Enclosed spaces can still trap the heat in.
  • Keep the Cube away from liquids. Liquids and electronics generally don’t get along well.
  • Keep dust away from the machine. Dust getting into your machine can cause problems like overheating. Keep it in a safe clean place, and try to limit the dust getting into the machine by keeping it clean.
  • Use an uninterruptible power supply to protect against power failures and surges. Also known as an uninterruptible power source, UPS or battery backup, this an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power when the power fails. They also provide surge protection.

Troubleshooting

  • My machine won’t power on.
    o Make sure the power supply is plugged in and the system is getting power.
    o If the lights turn on, the machine is powered on.

  • My machine is making noises like something is rolling around inside it.
    o While we try to do everything we can to provide make sure your CherryNAS Borg Hive is unharmed, we know delivery services can be rough. Contact Support and we’ll do what we can to make you and your cube happy.

  • What’s my password?
    o Your password is generally your order number.

  • Help, Help! I’m being assimilated.

    • We’re sorry, but resistance is futile. In cases of Borg assimilation, please contact your nearest Starfleet medical representative or Emergency Medical Hologram.
  • Help! I’m still having problems!
