Hard Drive Installation

Hard Drive Installation Prerequisites

When purchasing hard drives, the following factors should be considered:

• Capacity: Use drives with the same capacity. (The maximum is 2TB for SMR2000/5000 series, and 3TB
for SMR8000 series.)

• Drive type: The system uses SATA interface 3.5-inch hard drives. Please ensure that you purchase the

correct hard drives.

Inserting Hard Drive into Drive Tray

1. Open the front panel of the SMR system.

2. Press the release button (indicated by the blue arrow)

on the bezel, the bezel panel should open automatically
and gently pull out the hard drive tray.

3. Place the hard drive into the drive tray.

Make sure the hard drive’s interface
connector is facing the open side of the
drive tray and its label side facing up.
Adjust the drive’s location until the
mounting holes in the drive tray are aligned
with those on the hard drive. Secure the
drive with four supplied flat head screws.
