EonNAS Pro Series Hardware Manual
Installing Hard Drives
Hard drives are purchased separately. When purchasing hard drives, please consider
the following factors:
Hard Disk Drive Prerequisites
Capacity (MB/GB)
: Use hard drives that have the same capacity and rotation speeds.
RAID arrays use a “least-common-denominator” approach meaning the maximum
capacity used in each drive for comprising a logical configuration is the maximum
capacity of the smallest drive.
Profile
: The enclosure drive bays are designed for
3.5-inch wide x 1-inch pitch hard drives.
Drive Interface Type
: The enclosure accommodates SATA-II (3Gbps) and SATA-III
(6Gbps) hard drives up to 3TB in capacity per hard disk drive.
NOTE
Only install hard drives into the enclosure after the system has been placed in the
desired setup location. If hard drives are installed first, the system may be too heavy to
handle and possible impact during transportation may damage your hard drives.
DO NOT
attempt to shift or tilt the system once the system has powered on to avoid
damaging the hard drives.
NEVER
remove two or more hard drive trays out of the system at the same time!
Hot-swappable Hard Drives
The hard drives in drive trays are hot swappable components. Please refer to the
Software Manual for RAID configuration details and the maintenance section of this
manual on how to replace hard drives.
