. To install .Nx \*V on your 824x based NAS system you need to get access to the serial console. This requires to open the case, locate the serial header on the main board and attach a (usually .Tn "MAX3232" based) 3.3V TTL level to RS/232 converter to it, which you will connect to a terminal. The procedure how to build such a cable for your NAS system is not part of this documentation. Please refer to .Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/\*M/ttl2rs232.html for schematics and detailed instructions, if you wish to solder such an adapter cable yourself.
