Important notes

• Your Synology NAS may not notify you of this DSM update because of the following reasons. If you want to update your DSM to this version now, please click here to update it manually.
  • Your DSM is working fine without having to update. The system evaluates service statuses and system settings to determine whether it needs to update to this version.
• Depending on your Synology NAS model, this update will restart the device.
• AAC-encoded content can be decoded and natively played back by most end devices, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs. Server-side transcoding of AAC-encoded content has been a redundant and resource-consuming process that was removed in DSM 6 starting from this version.
• Advanced Media Extensions must be updated to version 1.0.2-0039 to be compatible with this update.
• Video Station must be updated to version 2.5.1-1668 to be compatible with this update.

Compatibility & Installation

• The following drives will be updated automatically to the latest firmware version to fix an unexpected issue that may occur during repair or other read/write operations: HAT5300-4T (firmware version 1401 and 1402), HAT5300-16T (firmware version 1401), HAT5310 -8T (firmware version 1401), and HAS5300-16T (firmware version 1401).

What’s New

• When users select Outlook as the system notification service provider, they will need to sign in with OAuth 2.0, which is a safer authentication method. Previously configured Outlook accounts will be migrated to “Custom SMTP server”. We strongly recommend re-configuring the settings for authentication to ensure your Outlook account security.
