<p> The setup instructions for your QNAP NAS can be found in detail in a separate HelpDesk <a target="blank" href="https://portal.paperoffice.ai/paperoffice/en/kb/paperoffice-classic-dms/qnap_nas_einrichtung_mariadb_55_fuer_paperoffice"> <u>entry</u></a>. </p>
<p> After the setup has been carried out on your QNAP NAS, a database connection must be established from PaperOffice to the database that has just been set up on your QNAP. </p>
<p> Start PaperOffice and click <b> "Continue" </b>. If you are currently connected to a database (local or otherwise), this connection must be disconnected. You can find detailed instructions on this <a target="blank" href="https://portal.paperoffice.ai/paperoffice/en/kb/paperoffice-classic-dms/trennen_der_bestehenden_datenbankverbindung"> here </a>. </p> <p> Then select <b> "Start database manager" </b>. <br> In the next step, select the storage medium <b> "QNAP NAS" </b> and click on the corresponding image. </p> <p> <img src = "https://api.paperoffice.ai/latest/knowledge/image/15/24ceac56ab58fb7a50354f9ca72f0d33a484fe4a4664aea01a3bf7631ae7a419" alt = "Select database QNAP">

<p> Then click on <b> "Check information, save and continue" </b>. </p>
<p> The new PaperOffice database will now be created. The process takes a moment. <br>
In the next step, the unique MasterKeys are generated for the database that has just been created. Save them carefully. </p>
<p> After both security keys have been saved, click on <b> "Everything is done. You can continue" </b>. </p>
<p> A new database has now been created and you are connected to it. <br> Click on <b> "Continue" </b> to log in. <br> From now on PaperOffice will use the SQL database that has just been created for the entire storage. <br> This completes the complete setup and the database connection with PaperOffice. </p>
