Hardware Setup

Tools and Parts for Component Installation

Please prepare below tools and parts before setting up your expansion unit:
• A screwdriver
• At least one 3.5"/2.5" SAS/SATA drive (please visit
models)
Warning: If you install a drive that contains data, the system will format the drive and erase all existing data.
Please back up any important data before installation.
• Rail mounting kit (please see the Optional Accessories section to find out the suitable rail kit for cabinet
installation)
Warning: We suggest mounting your expansion unit on a cabinet before installing any drives since the heavy
weight will increase the installation difficulty.
