2. Chapter 2: Installation and Setup
Warning
The electronic components within the Network Storage are
sensitive to damage from Electro-Static Discharge (ESD).
Observe appropriate precautions at all times when handling the
Network Storage or its subassemblies.
Important
To configure the Network Storage, you must install the software
onto a PC running Windows Vista, 2003 Server, XP Professional,
or 2000.
2.1. Installing Disk Drives
You can populate the Network Storage GNS-4000 with SATA 1.5 Gb/s or 3.0 Gb/s
disk drives. For optimal performance, install disk drives of the same model and
capacity. Your disk drives will become a RAID Volume on the Network Storage.
To install disk drives:
1.
Open the door on the front of the Network Storage enclosure.
2.
Pull a disk drive carrier from the enclosure.
3.
Carefully lay the disk drive into the drive carrier, so that the screw holes on the
sides of the carrier align with the screw holes in the drive.
4.
Insert the screws through the holes in the drive carrier and into the sides of
the disk drive.
Install only the counter-sink screws supplied with the Network Storage.
Install four screws per drive.
Snug each screw. Be careful not to over-tighten.
5.
Reinstall the drive carrier into the Network Storage enclosure.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 until all of your disk drives are installed.
6.
Close the door on the front of the Network Storage.
