Turn off QNAP - how it works

Not everyone wants to run their QNAP NAS permanently. In this article, we explain how to turn off your QNAP product.

Switch off QNAP - how it works

With the NAS solutions from QNAP you can set up file servers yourself. If you don't want to run it all the time, there are several ways to turn it off:

• Under no circumstances should you switch off the device by simply pulling the plug. This abrupt loss of power prevents clean data synchronization and can lead to serious errors.
• Instead, press the button on the front of the device for a few seconds. This initiates the orderly shutdown so that all processes are completed before the device turns off.
• Alternatively, you can log in to the device management via your browser.
• You can usually reach them via IP 169.254.100.100:8080. If that doesn't work, check your operating instructions or use the Qfinder.
• You can enter the IP address directly in the address line of your browser. Then enter your login data on the target page. You can then shut down the server.
