Setup Location
Your ReadyNAS storage system is intended for installation in a restricted access location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets, and the like) only.
Keep the following considerations in mind as you install your system:
•Ambient operating temperature. If the system is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the
ambient operating temperature of the rack en vironment might be greater than the ambient temper ature
of the room.Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maxim um
rated ambient temperature. See Defaults and Technical Specifications on page 29.
•Reduced airflow. Mount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation is not compromised.
•Mechanical loading. Mount the equipment into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise
due to uneven mechanical loading.
•Circuit overloading. Consider the equipment's connection to the power supply circuitry and the effect
that any possible ov erloading of circuits might create on overcurrent protection and pow er supply wiring.
Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
•Reliable grounding.This product requires reliable grounding to be maintained at all times.To ensure
this, ground the rack itself. Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than the direct
connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips).
•Clearance. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (about 25 inches) to enable you to open the
front door completely and in the back of the rack (about 30 inches) to allow for sufficient airflow and
ease in servicing.

Diskless Storage System
If you purchased a ReadyNAS storage system without a preinstalled disk drive or drives, you must add at
least one disk to your system before y ou use the system.You can add a 3.5-inch hard disk drive to an empty
disk bay. For information about how to install a disk, see Add a Disk on page 21.
Use only supported SA TA hard disk drives (HDDs) in y our ReadyNAS stor age system. If you use disks that
are not supported, NETGEAR technical support will not provide assistance. For a list of supported disks,
see the NETGEAR Hardware Compatibility List at http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.
If you are adding a previously formatted disk to your storage system, see the instructions in Previously
Formatted Disks on page 20.

Installation
Use the rack-mount hardware included with your ReadyNAS storage system to install it in a rack. Read
Rack-Mount Precautions on page 33.
A system with installed drives can weigh more than 80 pounds.T o a void injury or damage
Note
to the equipment, perform the rack-mount installation with appropriate assistance.
Read these instructions in their entirety before you begin. Locate the shipping carton, remove the rac k-mounting
kit, and prepare to work with it.
The rack-mounting kit contains two rail assemblies. Each assembly consists of two sections:
•An inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the system’s chassis
2
•An outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself
To install the system into a rack:
1. Extend the rail assembly by pulling it outward.
2. Press the release tab and separate the inner rail from the outer assembly.

3. Align the inner rails with the mounting post on the chassis and slide the rails to lock them.
4. Secure the rails to the chassis with two M4x4 screws.
5. Align both the front and back of the outer rails with rack-mounting holes and extend the outer rails until the
rail mounting posts snap into the rack.
Note that the rails are marked FRONT on the ends of the rails that go into the front of the rack.
