If there are multiple networks at your facility, note the network to which you connect
the unit. You will need this information during the setup process. Please also enable
the DHCP function within the network, as the unit will retrieve an IP address through
DHCP by default.
Step 2: Install Hard Drives
Refer to compatibility list and install HDDs. For optimal performance consideration,
install disks with the same model and storage capacity. The available RAID level
depends on the amount of disks installed.
1. Open the lid on the front of the unit enclosure.
2. Pull a HDD tray from the enclosure. See the front view figure.
3. Carefully lock the disks into the HDD tray with screws and 3 screws for each disk.
We recommend locking the screws on the bottom of the disk, instead of the side of
tray. Put the HDD tray back once you finished.
Step 3: Connect to the Network
1. Attach one end of the network cable to the RJ45 network connection. See the rear
view figure.
2. Attach the other end of the network cable to your Ethernet hub or switch.
Step 4: Connect the Power
1. Attach the power cord to the power source.
2. Connect the power cord to the back of the unit enclosure. See the rear view figure.
3. On the front of the unit, press the power button. See the front view figure.
It takes about a minute for the unit to fully power up. Once it is powered up, the
Power Status LED turns blue. See the front view figure.
Step 5: Install the Software
