General Care

To avoid overheating, the unit should be operated in a well-ventilated area. Do not place the unit on a soft surface, such as a carpet, that will obstruct air flow into the vents on the underside of the product.
The internal components in the ioSafe 1019+ unit are susceptible to static electricity. Proper grounding is strongly recommended to prevent electrical damage to the unit or other connected devices. Avoid all dramatic movement, tapping on the unit, and vibration.
Avoid placing the unit close to large magnetic devices, high voltage devices, or near a heat source. This includes any place where the product will be subject to direct sunlight.
Before starting any type of hardware installation, ensure that all power switches have been turned off and all power cords have been disconnected to prevent personal injury and damage to the hardware.

Hardware Installation

2.1 Tools and Parts for Drive Installation

A Phillips screwdriver
3mm hex tool (included)
At least one 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD (please visit iosafe.com for a list of compatible drive models)

STOP Formatting a drive will result in data loss, so be sure to back up your data before beginning this operation.
2.2 SATA Drive Installation
NOTE If you purchased an ioSafe 1019+ that was shipped with hard drives pre-installed, skip Section 2.2 and continue on to the next section.
a. Use the included 3mm hex tool to remove the screws on the top and bottom of the front cover. Then remove the front cover.
b. Remove the waterproof drive cover with the 3mm hex tool.
c. Remove the drive trays with the 3mm hex tool.
d. Install a compatible drive into each drive tray using (4x) drive screws and a Phillips screwdriver. Please visit iosafe.com for a list of qualified drive models.
NOTE When setting up a RAID set, it is recommended that all installed drives should be the same size in order to make the best use of drive capacity.
e. Insert each loaded drive tray into an empty drive bay, ensuring that each one is pushed in all the way. Then tighten the screws using the 3mm hex tool.
f. Replace the waterproof drive cover and securely tighten it using the 3mm hex tool.
STOP Avoid using tools other than the supplied hex tool to secure the waterproof drive cover as you could under-tighten or break the screw. The hex tool has been designed to flex slightly when the screw is sufficiently tight and the waterproof gasket is properly compressed.
g. Install the front cover to finish the installation and protect the drives from fire.
h. You may optionally use the round magnet provided to attach and store the hex tool on the back of the unit.
2.3 M.2 NVMe SSD Cache Installation
You may optionally install up to two M.2 NVMe SSDs into the ioSafe 1019+ to create an SSD cache volume to boost the read/write speed of a volume. You can configure the cache in read-only mode using one SSD or either read-write (RAID

or read-only modes (RAID 0) using two SSDs.
NOTE The SSD Cache must be configured in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM). Please refer to the section for SSD Cache in the Synology NAS User’s Guide at synology.com or in DSM Help on the DSM desktop.
NOTE ioSafe recommends that you configure the SSD-cache as read-only. The HDDs in a RAID 5 mode are faster than the cache at sequential read and write operations. The cache only provides a benefit with random read and write operations.
a. Shut down your safe. Disconnect all cables connected to your ioSafe to prevent possible damage.
b. Turn the ioSafe over so that it is upside down.
c. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw securing the bottom cover and remove it. You will see four slots, two slots populated with RAM memory and two slots for SSDs.
d. Remove the plastic retainer clip from the rear of the SSD slot(s) you intend to use.
e. Align the notch on the gold contacts of the SSD module with the notch on the empty slot and insert the module into the slot to install it.
f. Hold the SSD module flat against the slot bay (Fig. 1) and reinsert the plastic retainer clip back into the rear of the slot to secure the SSD module. Press down firmly to secure the clip in place (Fig. 2).
g. Repeat the steps above to install another SSD into the second slot if needed.
i. Replace the bottom cover and secure it in place using the screw you removed in Step C .
h. Turn the ioSafe back over and reconnect the cables you removed in Step A (see Section 2.5). You may now turn your safe back on.
i. Follow the instructions for configuring your SSD Cache in the Synology NAS User’s Guide at synology.com or in DSM Help on the DSM desktop.
2.4 Replace Memory Modules
The ioSafe 1019+ comes with two 4GB of 204-pin SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM (8GB total) memory. This memory is not user upgradable. Follow these steps to replace the memory modules in event of a memory failure.
a. Shut down your safe. Disconnect all cables connected to your ioSafe to prevent possible damage.
b. Turn the ioSafe over so that it is upside down.
c. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw securing the bottom cover and remove it. You will see four slots, two slots for SSDs, and two slots populated with 204-pin SO-DIMM RAM memory.
d. Pull the levers on both sides of a memory module outward to release the module from the slot.
e. Remove the memory module.
f. Align the notch on the gold contacts of the memory module with the notch on the empty slot and insert the memory module into the slot (Fig. 1). Push firmly until you hear a click to secure the memory module in the slot (Fig. 2). If you encounter difficulty when pushing down, push the levers on either side of the slot outward.

g. Repeat the steps above to install another memory module into the second slot if needed.
h. Replace the bottom cover and secure it in place using the screw you removed in Step C.
i. Turn the ioSafe back over and reconnect the cables you removed in Step A (see Section 2.5). You may now turn your safe back on.
j. If you haven’t already, install Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) (see Section 3).
k. Log into DSM as an administrator (see Section 4).
l. Go to Control Panel > Info Center and check Total Physical Memory to verify that the correct amount of RAM memory is installed.
If your ioSafe 1019+ does not recognize the memory or fails to start up, please make sure that each memory module is correctly seated in its memory slot.
2.5 Connecting the ioSafe 1019+
Do not place the ioSafe 1019+ device on a soft surface, such as a carpet, that will obstruct air flow into the vents on the underside of the product.
a. Connect the ioSafe 1019+ to your switch/router/hub using the provided Ethernet cable.
b. Connect the unit to power using the provided power cord.
c. Press and hold the power button to turn on the unit.

NOTE If you purchased an ioSafe 1019+ without drives pre-installed, the fans inside the unit will spin at full speed until you install Synology DiskStation Manager (see Section 3) and Synology DiskStation Manager has booted up. This is the default behavior for the cooling fans and is intended.
