Chapter 2: Getting Started

Overview

Your N299 is designed for complete ease-of-use. To help you get started, the following chapter will help you get your N299 up and running in no time. Please read it carefully to prevent damaging your unit during installation.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, be sure to take the following precautions:

1.Read and understand the Safety Warnings outlined in the beginning of the manual.

2.If possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap during installation to prevent static discharge from damaging the sensitive electronic components on the N299.

3.Be careful not to use magnetized screwdrivers around the N299’s electronic components.

4.The N299 uses its chassis to dissipate heat. Please leave your N299 in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.

Hard Disk Installation

The N299 supports standard 3.5” (SATA) hard disks. To install a hard disk into the N299, follow the steps below:

1.Remove two screws located on the back of the unit using a Philips screwdriver.

2.Unscrew four mounting screws.

3.Lift up the hard disk tray by pulling up the top panel of the N299.

4.Carefully insert a standard 3.5” SATA hard disk into the tray, and secure the hard disk with screws from the included accessory pack.

5.If you are installing two hard disks, please insert the second hard disk at the bottom of the tray and secure it with screws from the included accessory pack.

6.Carefully lower the hard disk tray back into the N299.

7.After making sure the tray is in place and the connectors are aligned, secure the hard disk tray with screws.

NOTE

If your hard disk was previously part of a RAID 1 array, it will automatically rebuild. If you replace all the drives with higher capacity drives, you need to go to the Administrator login and format the drives.
