Chapter 2 Setting Up
Step 1. Install the Hard Disks
WARNING: This section is only applicable for installing new hard disk(s) that has never
installed NAS middleware before. If the hard disk has already installed NAS middleware,
then proceed to chapter 3 – DO NOT insert hard disk at this point.
1. Pull off the hard disk drive compartment cover from the device by pulling
on the indented portion.
CAUTION: Be gentle when pulling off the cover. Pulling it vigorously could damage the
cover hinges and device. The compartment cover was designed as a flat surface for the
protection and safety of data and hard disks. It is not encouraged to open the compartment
cover frequently.
7
2. Fasten two screws on "1" position to secure the HDD rail on the hard disk
drive. Fasten three screws on the opposite side of the hard disk drive
(without HDD rail).
NOTE: When installing a particular hard disk drive for the first time on your NAS, make
sure to first turn on the storage device before inserting the hard disk drive.
3. Slide the hard disk drive all the way into the right slot.
NOTE: Install the first hard disk drive on the right slot, the second hard disk drive on the left
slot. This is important when implementing RAID.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 to install the second hard disk drive.
8
5. Slide the second hard disk drive all the way into the left slot.
6. Place the hard disk drive compartment cover back on the storage device.
CAUTION: Be gentle when replacing the cover to avoid damaging the cover hinges and
device. Replacing it vigorously could damage the cover hinges and device. The
compartment cover was designed as a flat surface for the protection and safety of data and
hard disks. It is not encouraged to open the compartment cover frequently.
In the event that you would need to remove a hard disk drive, pull on the plastic
handle and slide the disk off the compartment.
9
NOTE: If you have two hard disk drive installed, remove the hard disk drive on the left slot
first, then remove the hard disk drive on the right slot.
Step 2. Connect to the Network
1. Make sure that the computer is connected to a router.
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the network connector (LAN) on
the back of your storage system (NAS) and the other end to a router.
Or you can connect both your computer and storage system (NAS) to one
switch, and this switch is connected to the network which has a DHCP
server.
10
Step 3. Connect to Power
1. Make sure that your storage system is turned off (Power switch on the “O”
position).
2. Plug the DC cord of the AC adapter to the power connector (DC IN) on the
rear of the storage system (n).
3. Plug the female end of the AC power cord to the AC adapter and the male
end to an electrical outlet (o).
CAUTION:
z When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and
then from the storage device. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or
the storage device.
z When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord.
Step 4. Configure Your Storage System
See the next chapter for the software configuration instructions.
