2.1 Hardware Installation Procedures

Before start using NAS server, please follow the procedures below to complete the hardware
Installation.
Step 1: Install at least one hard disk via hot-swappable drive tray. Insert the tray to the left driver
bay of NAS-3200 or to the top driver bay of NAS-3400 (these driver bays are
considered as the disk 1 of respective NAS servers). Note that it is strongly
recommended to use brand new hard disks and all HDDs must be set to master mode.
Step 2: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN port located on the NAS server rear
panel and attach the other end to a hub or switch.
Step 3: Connect the provided power cord to the power supply of the NAS server.
Step 4: The orange system LED is continuously on for 2 seconds, then the green system LED
flash rapidly (one flash per 0.5 second) indicating the NAS server is booting.
Step 5: The continuous green LED indicates the NAS server is ready to use.

2.2 Installing Hard Drives to HDD Trays

The hot-swappable HDD trays of NAS server 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 IDE compliance. The hot-swappable drive tray connects to the backplane. The
backplane is the printed circuit board behind the bay.
Note:
1.
Do not use any other drive tray that is not designed for NAS server, or a serious damage
might be caused.
2.
For best flexibility, the NAS server is designed to fit most types of hard drive form various
hard disk drive vendors. But each of them might have slightly different mechanical dimension.
We strongly recommend applying hard drives with the same type or with the same dimension
to NAS server.
