USER MANUAL
Quick Test: The quick test checks the hard drives for major performance
problems. The result of a quick test is a pass or fail evaluation of the hard drive’s
condition. The quick test can take several minutes to complete.
Full Test: The full test is a more comprehensive drive diagnostic. It methodically
tests each and every sector of the hard drives. You will be informed of the
condition of the hard drive once the test is performed. The full test may take hours
to complete, depending on the size and data configuration of the hard drives.
System Test: The system test reviews the health of your device hardware (hard
drives, fan, system clock, and device temperature).

System Restore

My Cloud EX2 Ultra device. This option restores your device to factory default settings
with no data loss.
Important: Before doing a factory restore or a system update, you may choose to save your
device’
s current configuration. At a later time, you can import a previously saved
configuration. Keep in mind that importing a configuration after restoring factory
defaults does not restore shares or users. See “System Configuration,” to create or
restore a configuration file.
Note: To erase all of the data on your device, see “Format Disk” on page 95.
1. In the System Restore area, click System Restore.
2. Review the confirmation message, and then click OK.

configuration file. This is useful if you perform a system restore and want to maintain your
current configurations.
