Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

Overview

Your N4100PRO is designed for easy installation. To help you get started, the
following chapter will help you quickly get your N4100PRO up and running. Please
read it carefully to prevent damaging your unit during installation.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, be sure to take the following precautions:
1. Read and understand the Safety Warnings outlined in the beginning of the
manual.
2. If possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap during installation to prevent static
discharge from damaging the sensitive electronic components on the
N4100PRO.
3. Be careful not to use magnetized screwdrivers around the N4100PRO's
electronic components.

Hard Disk Installation

The N4100PRO supports four standard 3.5" Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks. To install
a hard disk into the N4100PRO, follow the steps below:
1. Remove a hard disk tray from the N4100PRO.
2. Slide the new SATA hard disk into the tray and fasten the screws.
3. Insert the hard disk and tray back into the N4100PRO until it snaps into place
and lock it with a key if desired.
4. The LED blinks green when the hard disk is accessed.
NOTE
If your HDD was part of a RAID 1 or RAID 5 array previously, it
automatically rebuilds. If you replace all the drives with higher capacity
drives, you will need to go to Administrator login and format the drives.
