• USB cable (optional: you only need this if you want to expand
storage capacity by connecting compatible USB (version 2) drives).
It is recommended that the USB device use it’s own external power
adaptor if it has one.
• Computer with Network Interface Card (NIC) and TCP/IP installed
• Network device such as a switch, router, or hub
Install Hard Drives
Once you intall a hard drive on the NSA and create a volume, all existing
data on the disk will be erased. If you want to install two hard drives and
configure them as RAID volumes (see page
14 ), it is recommended to
use the same disk size and model for best performance.
Hard drives are NOT hot swappable. The NSA must be turned
off before you remove or install hard drive(s).
Creating a volume formats the hard drives. All data will be
lost. Back up any files on the disk to another location before
you install the disk in the NSA.
1. Make sure the power and Ethernet cords are disconnected from the
NSA.
