Netstor TurboBox Pro NA250A, Quick Installation Manual

Step 4

Step 5

3. Insert a PCIe add-on/graphics card into PCIe ×16 slot and 

    tighten it with a screw. If you are installing a graphics card 

    that requires extra power resources, connect the 6 pin PCI 

    Express power resource provided by NA250A to the 6 pin 

    PCI Express power connector on graphics card, or connect 

    the 6+2 pin PCI Express power resource provided by 

    NA250A to the 8 pin PCI Express power connector on 

    graphics card.

4. Place the side door back to TurboBox Pro NA250A, and 

    tighten the two thumbscrews to fasten the side door.

5. Connect the end of PCIe ×8 cable to PCIe ×8 connector on 

    rear panel of TurboBox Pro NA250A. Also, connect the end 

    of power cord to power receptacle on TurboBox Pro NA250A 

    and the other end of power cord to a grounded outlet or 

    power strip.

Note: 

there are two hot-swappable 

120×120×25 mm cooling 

fans for ventilation inside 

TurboBox Pro NA250A. 

You may simply draw the 

cooling fans out by pulling 

the L type metal handle on 

the fan modules.

    into an available PCIe ×8 connector (compatible with 

    ×16 connector) in server or workstation. Secure the host 

    adapter with a screw.

2. Connect the other end of PCIe ×8 cable to TurboBox Pro 

    PCIe 2.0 ×8 host adapter on server or workstation.

You are able to adjust the speed of 120×120×25 mm cooling 
fan inside TurboBox Pro NA250A. To do so, pull the cooling 
fan out, and you will see five sets of jumpers labeled with 
F, 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively from left to right on the board. 
The default setting is the jumper being placed over pin 9 and 
pin 10 for label 4, meaning the slowest speed of fan. If the 
jumper is placed over pin 1 and pin 2 for label F, the fan will 
spin at full speed. From label 1 to label 3, the fan speed 
decreases. If all of the pins are open (meaning no jumper is 
placed over the pins), the fan will not spin.

6.

Installation of Host Adapter and Cable 

     Connection

Before following the installation procedure, disconnect the 
server or workstation from power source to prevent electric 
shock or damage to add-on/graphics card.

Power on the TurboBox Pro NA250A by pressing the power 
button for two seconds.

9.

Remove TurboBox Pro from Server or 

      Workstation

To remove TurboBox Pro NA250A from server or workstation, 
power off server or workstation first, and then power off 
TurboBox Pro.

10.

Verify Installation

To remove TurboBox Pro NA250A from server or workstation, 
power off server or workstation first, and then power off 
TurboBox Pro.

8.

Power On Server or Workstation

In order to let the BIOS of server or workstation identify and 
assign resources appropriately, make sure to power on 
TurboBox Pro NA250A first, and then power on server or 
workstation. 

There is no software required for proper configuration of  
TurboBox Pro by server or workstation’s operating system; 
however, as a third party PCIe card is installed in TurboBox Pro, 
a request for the driver of the third party PCIe card will be 
prompted by the operating system. Please follow the instruction 
provided by the third party PCIe card.

When you want to verify a successful installation on Windows 
operating system, go to My Computer and right click the icon of 
My Computer. Select Manage from the menu (see figure 10-1), 
and click Device Manager in the left side of window of Computer 
Management (see figure 10-2).
