5 Dolby IMS3000 using QNAP network-
attached storage as primary storage
The Dolby IMS3000 supports using a specific QNAP NAS device instead of internal hard drives.
In this configuration, there will be no 2.5-inch hard drives in the Dolby IMS3000. The NAS will
have four 4 TB, 3.5-inch drives, which provides approximately 10.5 TB of storage for the system.

This procedure will work only with the NAS-Q1-HDD model. It does not work with
other NAS devices.
The NAS-Q1-HDD must be purchased through Dolby. If purchased from another vendor, the
device may not have software to support the Dolby IMS3000.
