The NAS-5400 has four hot-swappable HDD trays, which can be used to install 3.5" IDE hard
drive each. You don't' need to turn off the server when replacing a failed hard drive. The hard drive
must be 3.5" ATA66/100/133 IDE compliance. The hot-swappable drive tray connects to the
backplane. The backplane is the printed circuit board behind the bay.

For best flexibility, the NAS-5400 is designed to fit most types of hard drive form various
hard disk drive vendors. But each of them might have slightly different mechanical

same dimension to NAS-5400.
