Page 10: Racking The R10, R20, Or R40
5 Racking the R10, R20, or R40 The R10, R20, and R40 share the same rail kit and racking process. Each system has slightly different dimensions, so we recommend double-checking the system’s rack rail placement. Only install drives into a system after placing it in the rack. We also recommend removing all installed drives before unracking a system. -
Page 11: Install The Rack Rails
5.3 Install the Rack Rails Before installing the rack rail, make sure the rack has enough space for the system. The R10 needs 1U of space for both the system and rack rails. The R20 and R40 needs 2U of rack space, with the rack rails installed into the bottom Take a rack rail and align the end stamped “FRONT”... -
Page 12: Handling Drive Trays
6 Handling Drive Trays R-Series systems share many of the same drive trays. The general drive install and tray insertion procedures for each type of drive tray are described here: 6.1 SSD Drive Trays (R10, R20, R40) Warning for R20: Placing locked SED drives in the rear bays may cause the R20 to hang on boot indefinitely. We recommend not using SED drives with the R20 until we resolve the issue. -
Page 13: Hard Drive Trays (R20)
6.2 Hard Drive Trays (R20) You do not need any tools to install a drive in a full size hard drive tray. Make sure the drive connectors are pointed out the back of the tray and push the drive side screw holes into the fixed retention pegs on one side of the tray. Continue to push the other side of the drive down into the flexible retention pegs to secure the drive in place. -
Page 14: Bezel (R20 And R40)
7 Bezel (R20 and R40) The R20 and R40 include an optional bezel that can be locked to prevent unauthorized access to the primary drive trays. To attach the locking bezel, align the right side of the bezel with the attach points on the right ear and push the left side of the bezel into the attach points on the left ear until it clicks into place. -

Page 17: Racking The R50
8.3 Racking the R50 The R50 has a built-in rail system that provides access to the main drive bay. Racking an R50 requires 4U of rack space. Install cage nuts in the rack posts where the rails and front of the R50 will be secured to the rack, attach the included rack rails, then push the R50 into the rails and secure the front of the system to the rack. - Page 18 8.3.3 Install the Rack Rails At the back of the rack, fit a rail over the installed cage nuts. The rail tab will fit into the empty rack space between the cage nuts. Use the included M5 screws to attach the rail to the cage nuts. Follow this process for the other rail. 8.3.4 Adjust the Rail Sleeve The rail sleeve ships in position 2 by default.

Page 19: Managing Drives
8.4 Managing Drives The R50 primary drive bay is mounted on internal rails and slides out from the system. The NVMe drive bay is accessed by removing the NVMe fan on the rear of the system. Hard drives are installed directly into the system without any additional drive trays. - Page 20 8.4.2 Installing Hard Drives The R50 allows inserting hard drives directly into the system without requiring additional installation into a detach- able tray. To install a hard drive, open the drive bay to expose the drive slot covers. Slide the blue release tab (1) on a slot cover and lift (2).
- Page 21 8.4.3 Accessing the NVMe Drive Bays R50 NVMe devices are not hot-swappable. You must power down or reboot the system whenever you want to change R50 NVMe devices to avoid catastrophic data loss. R50 NVMe drive bays are located behind a case fan on the back of the system. To remove the fan, rotate the handle downward, push down on the retention tab (1), and pull the fan free of the system (2).

Page 22: Cabling An R-Series System
We recommend connecting the Out of Band Management port and a monitor and keyboard for the first boot so that the system BIOS can be configured to your specific needs and the initial TrueNAS web interface IP address can be viewed. -
Page 23: Connecting To The Truenas Web Interface
10 Connecting to the TrueNAS Web Interface Powering on the system and allowing it to boot to the system console will display the IP address of the TrueNAS R-Series graphical web interface, 192.168.100.231 in this example: The web user interface is at: http://192.168.100.231... -
