assist you in pulling out the tray from
the drive bay.
Plug the power cable and IDE cable

Hardware Installation

Use the following steps to install the StorTrends 2104 NAS server.
Step Action
1 unpack and inspect
2 install hard disk drives (optional)
3 install expansion board (optional)
4 install the StorTrends NAS Software (if not already preinstalled)
5 installing on your network
Inspect the cardboard carton for obvious damage. If damaged, call 770-246-8645. Leave the
StorTrends 2104 NAS server in its original packing.
Before You Start, Avoid Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage the internal components of the StorTrends 2104 NAS
server. Avoid contact with any component or connector on any adapter card, printed circuit board,
or memory module.
Perform all unpacking and installation procedures on a ground-connected anti-static mat. Wear an
anti-static wristband grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat. You can also use a sheet of
conductive aluminum foil grounded through a one-megaohm resistor instead of the anti-static mat.
Similarly, a strip of conductive aluminum foil wrapped around the wrist and grounded through a
one megaohm resistor serves the same purpose as a wristband.

Install Hard Disk Drives

The StorTrends 2104 NAS server ships with no (0) ATA 100/133 hard disk drives. Before you can
use your NAS server, you must install at least one (1) hard disk drive into the first hard drive bay
located on the left hand side of the chassis.
