I've tried the Power Button package I found on the net. The system does power down, but only for a few seconds, then it begins to power right back up again, almost like it was doing a restart instead of a shutdown. This is the one thing that still doesn't work properly.

I then used the Shutdown command to shut down the H340. I rebooted a couple of times to ensure the system comes up cleanly each time. I was then able to connect to DSM and complete the initial configuration items. It completed very quickly and said the installation was successful. After around 6 Request Timed Outs, and 30 Destination Unreachables, at around 61%, or 235 seconds, the Write Configurations began.

I watched the progress until, at around 28%, 600 seconds, the install windows said the H340 was rebooting. I right-clicked on the H340 in Assistant and selected Install. Http:// doesn't work for me.Īfter a couple of Searches, Assistant found the H340 and said it was Not Installed. I used the IP from the DHCP server's to start a continuous PING of the H340. I watched my DHCP Server's list of active leases until it showed me a new one, which was for the H340. Once it started blinking I moved to step 9. I also ensured there was no keyboard or mouse connected to the H340. I haven't tested installing with the stick in a rear port. I inserted the USB stick into the front port on the H340. On my Win10 desktop, I opened a window to my DHCP server. I attempted to install XPEnology/DSM onto various drives in the bottom slot they all failed. NOT USING THE BOTTOM SLOT IS THE KEY ITEM TO SUCCESS. I installed the 2TB drive INTO THE TOP SLOT of the H340.

I used the tool pointed to by Polanskiman to generate a serial number. I prepared a SanDisk Cruzer 8TB USB stick as per Polanskiman's excellent tutorial. As far as I know, the H340 can't use drives larger than 2TB, so the maximum disk space would be 8TB, minus the space for DSM itself. I took a 2TB HDD and used Disk Manager on my Win10 desktop to remove any existing partitions and ensure it was initialised as MBR. There was no particular reason for picking the DS3617xs: it simply seemed like it might be the most versatile. This is probably because the H340 dates from 2009 and doesn't understand GPT. I downloaded the MBR version of Jun's loader image: DS3617xs_DSM6.1_JunsMod_V1.02b_MBR_Genesys.img. There were a great many failures, but it turns out one thing was the key to success.

Through much trial and tribulation, I have finally been able to repeatedly, and reliably, install XPEnology onto an Acer Aspire EasyStore H340 NAS. On closing yes this stuff is both addicting and time consuming and as such is not for everybody, Hang in there your doing great. I need to no the chain of events that led you to getting stuck, Please be as detailed as possible. Without more info I am truly picking at straws. Sorry I can't help you any further till you ans my 6 questions above. EXPenology only needs a 32 Mb drive for the boot loader, Instruction how how someone installed 'FreeNAS' on the Acer H340 using the internal USB can be found here

Also after doing some research on the Acer 340 as luck would have it there seems to be a 256 MB internal USB flash drive used for recovery of WHS and as such you may be able to use that instead of an external USB. 1) If it worked the first time why are you trying to reinstall XPEnology now?ģ) Could you please provide the link to the instructions you are using to setup XPEnology? Maybe I can spot something wrong.Ĥ) What is the make and model of the USB drive you are using for the install?ĥ) Did you install any hard drives in the drive bays? And if yes how many and where they clean aka wiped clean?Ħ) What USB port where you trying to use to do the install? I did own a HP Media Smart ex495 back in the day (sold to a forum member) and when trying to do a recovery on it I had to use the rear lower USB drive as recommended by HP as that was the only USB that was active during (POST), Maybe that's your trouble? Not all USB ports are active till after (POST) on some systems.
