Chapter 2: Hardware Setup

Connect one end of the power cord(s) to the power port of RX1217sas/RX2417sas, and the other to the power
outlet(s). RX1217sas/RX2417sas will automatically power on once the power cords are correctly connected.
Note:
Your RX1217sas/RX2417sas comes equipped with a redundant power supply system, allowing two power
cords to be connected. The system may be powered on with only one power cord, but we recommend using two
power cords to avoid unexpected power failures.
Important:
Do not remove the expansion cable while the host device is still powered on. Doing so may result in data
loss.

Press the power button on the front panel to power on your FS3400. The expansion unit ID of RX1217sas/
RX2417sas connected to FS3400 will be displayed in sequence on the back panel.
Note:
Even with the Synology NAS and expansion unit(s) powered on, you can still expand with one or more
expansion unit if needed. To do so, repeat above steps to connect the expansion cables and power cords of the other
expansion units. Your expansion units will automatically power on if they are correctly connected, and the expansion
unit ID will be displayed accordingly after a few seconds (if DSM is correctly installed in the Synology NAS server).
