Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
Overview
Your N8800SAS is designed for easy installation. To help you get started, the
following chapter will help you quickly get your N8800SAS up and running. Please
read it carefully to prevent damaging your unit during installation.
Before You Begin
Before you begin, be sure to take the following precautions:
1.
Read and understand the Safety Warnings outlined in the beginning of the
manual.
2.
If possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap during installation to prevent static
discharge from damaging the sensitive electronic components on the N8800.
3.
Be careful not to use magnetized screwdrivers around the N8800’s electronic
components.
Hard Disk Installation
The N8800SAS supports eight standard 3.5” SATA or SAS hard disks. To install a
hard disk into the N8800SAS, follow the steps below:
1.
Remove a hard disk tray from the N8800SAS.
2.
Slide the new SATA or SAS hard disk into the tray and fasten the screws.
3.
Insert the hard disk and tray back into the N8800SAS until it snaps into place
and lock it with a key if desired.
4.
The LED blinks green when the hard disk is accessed.
If your HDD was part of a RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 6 array previously, it
automatically rebuilds. If you replace all the drives with higher capacity
drives, you will need to go to Administrator login and format the drives.
