Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

Overview

Your 1U4600 is designed for easy installation. To help you get started, the following
chapter will help you quickly get your 1U4600 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
1U4600.
3. Be careful not to use magnetized screwdrivers around the 1U4600's
electronic components.

Hard Disk Installation

The 1U4600 supports four standard 3.5" Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks. To install a
hard disk into the 1U4600, follow the steps below:
1. Remove a hard disk tray from the 1U4600.
2. Slide the new SATA hard disk into the tray and fasten the screws.
3. Insert the hard disk and tray back into the 1U4600 until it snaps into place
and lock it with a key if desired.
4. The LED blinks green when the hard disk is accessed. If the Error LED flashes
red it signals a problem.
NOTE

Cable Connections

To connect the 1U4600 to your network, follow the steps below:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your network to the WAN port on the back
panel of the 1U4600.
If your HDD was part of a RAID 1 or 5 array previously, it
automatically rebuilds. If you replace all the drives with higher
capacity drives, you need to go to Administrator login and
format the drives.
