Chapter 2: Hardware Setup
Connect with Synology NAS Server
1
Connect one end of the expansion cable to the SAS OUT port of the Synology NAS server and the other to the
SAS IN port of RX1217sas. Please make sure that the release band (in blue) of the cable faces rightward
when plugging into the Synology NAS server, and that of the cable faces upward when plugging into
RX1217sas; otherwise, the Synology NAS server and expansion unit will not be correctly connected.
2
Connect one end of the power cord(s) to the power port of RX1217sas, and the other to the power outlet(s).
RX1217sas will automatically power on once the power cords are correctly connected.
Note:
Your RX1217sas 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.
