Preface 3
TS-x73 User Guide
This chapter provides basic information about the QNAP TS-x73 NAS.
The TS-x73 is a high-performance and energy-efficient NAS solution powered by an AMD quad-core processor, AES-NI hardware encryption engine, and up to 64 GB memory. Featuring an IR sensor, microphone inputs, and speaker outputs, the TS-x73 can server as a centralized media hub. The TS-x73 can also adapt to your needs due to its hot-swappable drives, M.2 SSDs slots, and dual PCIe expansion slots.
Important
Modifying the hardware or software of your QNAP product invalidates the warranty. QNAP is not responsible for any damage or data loss caused by unauthorized modifications and installation of unsupported third-party applications.
