1.1. Notes and Precautions
Before adding M.2 SSD Drive, please read the following precautions thoroughly.
Your NAS and M.2 SSD Drive use high precision components and electronic connector technology. To
avoid invalidation of the warranty during your product warranty period, we recommend that:
M.2 SSD Drive for AS66 series devices may be purchased from local dealers or or
https://www.asustor.com/service/compatibility
) for a list of compatible M.2 SSDs.
If installing two drives, ASUSTOR recommends that they be the same model for optimum
performance.
Addition or removal of M.2 SSD Drive by yourself may result in an accident or malfunction of your NAS
caused by breakage of the slot and module or a connection mistake. In this case, a repair fee will be
charged.
Be careful not to injure your hands or fingers with sharp edges of the M.2 SSD Drive, inner components,
or circuit boards of your NAS.
ASUSTOR does not guarantee that third party M.2 SSD Drive will work in your NAS.
Be sure to turn off your NAS and peripherals and disconnect all attachments and connection cables
before adding or removing M.2 SSD Drive.
To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge to M.2 SSD Drive, follow the instructions below:
Do not work at a location that produces static electricity easily, such as on a carpet.
Before adding or removing M.2 SSD Drive, touch an external metal object other than your NAS to
ground yourself and eliminate static electricity. Do not touch any metal parts inside the NAS.
Do not insert a M.2 SSD Drive into the slot facing in the wrong direction. It may cause damage to the
module or slot, or cause the circuit board to catch fire.
Use a screwdriver that matches the size of the screws.
Do not remove or loosen screws that are not specified to be removed.
