Tools and Parts for Hard Drive Installation
Needed:
A Phillips screwdriver
3mm Hex Tool (included with the ioSafe 216
At least one 3.5” SATA hard drive
(Please visit

for compatible hard drive models.)
Note:
For a RAID1 set, it is recommended that all installed drives be the same size to make the best use of hard disk
capacity.
Warning:
If you install a hard drive that contains data, the 216 will format the hard drive and erase all data. If you need
the data in the future, please back it up before installation.
