Tools and Parts for Component Installation
Please prepare the tools and parts below before setting up your Synology NAS:
• A Screwdriver
• At least one 2.5” SSD (SAS/SATA) or HDD (SAS only) (please visit

Warning:
If you install a drive that contains data, the system will format the drive and erase all existing data. Please
back up any important data before installation.
