Connect with Synology RC18015xs+

1
Use at least one LAN cable to connect each RackStation unit to your switch, router or hub.
Note:
Both RackStation units of the HA cluster must be connected to the network in the identical way. For example, if you connect two LAN cables to the ports of LAN 1 and LAN 3 on a RackStation, you have to connect two LAN cables to the ports of LAN 1 and LAN 3 on the other RackStation to the network too.
2
Connect one end of a LAN cable to the Heartbeat LAN port of a RackStation, and the other to the Heartbeat LAN port of the other RackStation.
3
Connect one end of the power cords to the power ports of each RackStation and expansion unit respectively, and the other to the power outlets.

Note:
1. Once you power on the RackStation units, your expansion unit(s) will
automatically power on one by one if they are correctly connected.
2. We recommend to power on both the RackStation units before proceeding
with DSM installation and HA cluster conguration. If you power on only one RackStation to install DSM, you will still need to manually power on the other RackStation after the installation so as to continue the HA cluster conguration.
