Precau ons
Hot-swapping means that you can perform maintenance or upgrade hardware while the NAS is powered
on. The 8-bay Rackmount NAS features three hot-swappable parts: hard drives; fans; and power supply
units.
Prior to performing hardware maintenance on other parts of the NAS (such as RAM and the battery),
power off the product and disconnect the power from the power supply. Use NAS OS or a short push on
the power button to shut down the NAS before unplugging the power cables.
During operation, all provided hardware (including the installed drives in their frames) should remain in
place for optimal air flow. Users with less than eight disks are not required to install empty disk trays in
the enclosure. Airflow and fan performance are regulated by temperature.
Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling 8-bay Rackmount NAS parts. Avoid contact with
backplane components and module connectors, etc.
In most instances, the top cover should be removed only when the unit has been turned off and allowed
to cool down. Potential hazards of opening the cover while the product is operating includes, but is not
limited to, hot surfaces and exposed parts.
