3. Do not place the NAS in direct sunlight or near chemicals. Make sure the temperature
and humidity of the environment are in optimized level.
4. Unplug the power cord and all connected cables before cleaning. Wipe the NAS with a
dry towel. Do not use chemical or aerosol to clean the NAS.
5. Do not place any objects on the NAS for the server’s normal operation and to avoid
overheat.
6. Use the flat head screws in the product package to lock the hard disks in the NAS when
installing hard disks for proper operation.
7. Do not place the NAS near any liquid.
8. Do not place the NAS on any uneven surface to avoid falling off and damage.

Chapter 5. Upgrade Memory on QNAP Turbo NAS (RAM Module
Installation)
Warning:
The following instructions should only be performed by an authorized and trained
technician.
Strictly adhere to the instructions to install a RAM module on the NAS. Failure to do so
could result in injury to human body or death.
Before starting, please ensure that you turn off the NAS, disconnect the power
adaptor, network cable(s), and also remove any other device/cable that is attached to
the NAS.
Please ensure that you wear an antistatic wrist strap during the entire process to
prevent electrostatic discharge. The crocodile clip should be connected to the ground.
When installing more than one memory module, it is recommended to use the same

The NAS supports hot-swapping the hard drives when 1 member drive crashes in RAID 1,
1–2 member drives crash in RAID 5 or RAID 6. Follow the steps below to hot-swap the hard
drive when a member drive fails in a RAID configuration.
1. Login the NAS and check the disk volume configuration in “Volume Management”.
2. The volume status should be “in degraded mode”.
3. Prepare a new hard drive to replace the failed one. The capacity of the new hard drive
should be the same as or larger than the failed hard drive.
4. Unplug the failed drive from the NAS. Wait for about 20 seconds or until the server
beeps twice.
5. Remove the failed drive from the drive tray.
6. Install the new hard drive on the drive tray. Insert it to the NAS.
7. The server should beep 1.5 seconds twice.
8. Check the volume status on the web administration page. The volume should be
rebuilding.
Warning: Users are strongly recommended to turn OFF the server before replacing
the hard drive to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Chapter 8. Install M.2 SSDs
8.1 M.2 SSD Heat Sink Installation
NAS models that support M.2 SSDs are packaged with M.2 SSD heat sinks. For reliable
operation, it is recommended that you install the heat sinks onto the SSD controller.
To install heat sink:
1. Locate the SSD controller on the M.2 SSD. Location of SSD controller varies by model.
Refer to SSD manufacturer for details.
2. Remove any existing stickers or labels on the controller.
3. Remove the release liner from bottom of the heat sink.
4. Stick heat sink onto the controller. No thermal paste required.
8.2 M.2 SSD Installation
Some NAS models have a temperature sensor below the M.2 SSD.

8.2.1 TBS-453A
1. The system has four M.2 SSD slots that are located on the bottom of the system. The
storage capacity of the system can be upgraded by adding M.2 SSD modules to vacant
M.2 SSD slots or by upgrading existing M.2 SSD modules. The following procedure
demonstrates how to add/replace M.2 SSD modules. To remove the bottom cover, first
remove the rubber feet. Next, unscrew the four screws installed on the four corners of
the bottom cover by turning them counterclockwise.
2. TBS-453A supports 3 different sizes of M.2 SSD (2242, 2260, and 2280). Move and
fasten the riser screw to the appropriate location according your M.2 SSD size. Then
insert the M.2 SSD to the slot and secure it in place with the supplied screws.

3. Secure the bottom cover back to the system by installing the screws of four corners
(clockwise). Then put the rubber feet back as well.
8.2.2 TVS-473, TVS-673, TVS-873
1. Turn off the NAS. Disconnect power cord(s), network cable(s), and any other cables
attached to the device.
