  Chapter 2: Hardware Setup

Insert the loaded hard drive tray into the empty hard drive bay.

Note:

 Make sure the drive tray is completely inserted. Otherwise, the drive might not function properly.

Press the handle inward to secure the drive tray.

Insert the drive tray key into the drive tray lock, turn the key clockwise to lock the handle of the drive tray, and 

then remove the key.

Repeat the steps above to install all prepared drives.

Fix the two rack mount kits on both sides with the screws provided.

Drives are numbered as shown below.

Note:

 If you want to create a RAID volume, we recommend all installed drives be the same size in order to optimize 

drive capacity usage.
