Auto Module Installation 

Or choose the Auto Module Installation item and the available system Module 
screen appears. The default to get module list is “On-line” so if Thecus IP storage is 
capable to connect to Internet then it will automatically link to Thecus official 
website then list available modules. Please refer the screen shot below.   

 

The other way to have auto module installed is using universal CD shipped with 
system. It has contained file “modules.zip” which included all modules while system 
shipped. Please refer the screenshot below.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

NOTE 

The modules list getting on-line of Thecus website will newly 

than “thecus.zip” from shipped CD. But the installation from 

Thecus website could have unpredictable duration due to 

bandwidth concern.
