Hardware Installation Guide

Tools Needed for Hard Disk Installation

• Phillips head screwdriver
• At least one 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA hard disk. (For a list of compatible hard disks, please see
  http://www.asustor.com/service/hd?id=hd)

Hard Disk Installation

1. Remove the front panel as shown in the image below.

2. Using the latch, gently pull the disk tray out of the disk bay.

3. Mount the hard disk to the disk tray.
   To install a 3½” hard drive, please remove the two rails on both sides of the hard drive tray. Place the hard drive into the tray, align and insert the rails to secure the hard drive and insert it into the NAS.

**** To install a 2½” hard drive, please remove the two rails on both sides of the hard drive tray. Align the hard drive with the 4 holes labeled 2.5″ with the SATA connector facing outward. While maintaining a grip on the hard drive and tray, turn the tray upside down and secure the drive with four included M3 screws as demonstrated below.

4. Slide the disk tray onto the rails of the disk bay. Using the latch, gently push the disk tray all the way into the disk bay.
   Secure the disk tray in place by pushing down on the latch. The latch should close easily and snap in with an audible ‘click’. Please make sure that the disk tray is pushed all the way into the disk bay before attempting to secure the latch.

5. Return the front panel.

Securing the Power Cord

Note: You can use the provided cord bracket to secure the power cord in place, if you are concerned about the NAS power cord becoming detached when the NAS is moved.
Attach the bracket to the power cord as shown in the graphic below.

Connecting Your Device

1. Plug the USB 3.2 Gen2 cable into AS5004U, and lock the screw in the direction of the arrow.

2. Connect the power cable to the device.

3. Connect the other end of the USB 3.2 Gen2 cable to a USB 3.2 port on your NAS, which should not be powered on yet.
   When the NAS is powered on, the AS5004U will also be powered on. When the NAS is powered off or in sleep mode, the AS5004U will also enter into sleep mode.

Note:

1. The AS5004U can only be connected to your NAS via the NAS’s USB 3.2 port.
2. If your NAS is already powered on, connecting the AS5004U to it using the USB 3.2 Gen2 cable will cause the AS5004U to power on.
