My Synology NAS keeps beeping. What can I do?
Resolution
To determine the cause
- Sign in to DiskStation Manager (DSM). Go to Notifications
at the upper-right corner of the desktop and check for possible causes.
- Go to Control Panel > Hardware & Power > General > Beep Control and look for Reason for current beep to determine the cause.
- If the volume has degraded, refer to this article for instructions.
- If the volume has crashed, refer to this article for instructions.
- If the SSD cache is abnormal, refer to this article for instructions.
- If the cooling fan is malfunctioning, try dusting the Synology NAS first and ensure the device is placed in an environment with appropriate temperature. If the issue persists, the fan may be broken. Refer to this article for instructions.
To turn off beeping
- Go to Control Panel > Hardware & Power > General > Beep Control and click Mute (For DSM 7.0 and above) or Beep Off (For DSM 6.2 and earlier).
- If the Mute (For DSM 7.0 and above) or Beep Off (For DSM 6.2 and earlier) button is turned off, reboot the Synology NAS and try again.
