2.1 Hardware Installation
After unpacking the NAS, first follow these instructions to install your hardware:
1. Install the hard drives. Before doing so, ensure the hard drives (HDDs) that you use
are compatible with the NAS. Go to the Hard Disk Drive Compatibility List
section
for more details.
2. Connect the QNAP NAS to the same network as your PC and power it on. During
your installation process, pay attention to LEDs and alarm buzzers to make sure
that the NAS functions properly. Go to the Checking System Status
section for
more details.
Note :
The steps above are also illustrated in the Quick Installation Guide (QIG) that
can be found in the product package or QNAP website (http://start.qnap.com).
