8. Verify that the JBOD enclosures are recognized by the NAS.
a. Log on to QTS or QuTS hero as an administrator.
b. Go to Main Menu > Storage & Snapshots > Overview > Storage .
c. Verify that the JBOD enclosures are listed.
Note
• The NAS may take up to 30 seconds to detect the JBOD enclosures and the installed drives.
• The higher the number of connected enclosures and installed drives, the longer it may take
the NAS to detect them.
• Before the NAS detects a JBOD enclosure, the status LED on the JBOD enclosure displays
orange, indicating standby mode. When the JBOD enclosure is in standby mode, the fans
and drive LEDs on the enclosure remain turned off.
Disconnecting the JBOD enclosure from a NAS
When disconnecting (including hot-disconnecting) the JBOD enclosure from a NAS, always safely detach the
JBOD enclosure from the NAS operating system before disconnecting any cables.
Disconnecting the cables without safely detaching the JBOD enclosure can cause data loss or other
damages.

created on the JBOD enclosure. If you must disconnect the JBOD enclosure under this
circumstance, contact an authorized administrator to perform this action.

When disconnecting multiple JBOD enclosures, make sure to start from the last JBOD and
properly disconnect both the power cable and CAB-PCIE10M-8644-4X, and then make your way
up the rest of the JBOD enclosures.
