NAS SA3600 inaccessible on network

[Enquiries]

My SA3600 becomes inaccessible on LAN yet it's on and running until I restart it, and most times when I restart, it gets stuck at some point in the boot process and just begins racing its fans. Is there a way I can be helped?

It sounds like you're encountering some technical issues with your Synology SA3600 NAS. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check Network Connections: Ensure that the NAS is properly connected to your LAN and that the network cables are securely plugged in. You may want to try using a different Ethernet cable or port on your router or switch.
Check Network Settings: Verify that the network settings on the NAS are configured correctly, including IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings. You can access these settings through the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) web interface.
Restart the NAS: Since you mentioned that restarting the NAS temporarily resolves the issue, try restarting it again when it becomes inaccessible. Pay attention to any error messages or abnormal behavior during the boot process.
Update Firmware: Make sure that your NAS is running the latest firmware version available from Synology. Sometimes, firmware updates address known issues and improve system stability.
Check for Hardware Issues: If the NAS continues to experience problems, it's possible that there may be hardware issues such as faulty components or overheating. Check the NAS for any signs of physical damage or excessive heat.
Contact Synology Support: If the issue persists despite your efforts to troubleshoot, consider contacting Synology's technical support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional guidance or recommend steps to resolve the problem.
