To install hard drives in the TrueNAS R50 Storage Appliance, please follow these steps:
1. Open the Drive Drawer: Unlock the front and loosen the captive thumbscrews. Use the handles to pull the drawer out. Note: Do not open the drawer for more than 1 minute with the system running to prevent overheating.
2. Install Hard Drives: Push the blue release tab on a slot cover and lift it. Gently grasp the inner tray and pull it up until it locks into place. The R50 is certified to use WD Helium drives only. Align a hard drive with the connectors facing downwards into the system, then slide the drive into the slot. Squeeze the plastic release tabs on each side of the tray, then push the tray downwards to install the hard drive into the system. Close the slot cover and make sure it locks.
3. Close the Drive Drawer: Pull the blue release catches on each rail toward you, then push the drawer into the system. To secure the drive bay and prevent it from accidentally opening, tighten the captive thumbscrews on the front of the system. You can also use the included key to lock the drive drawer and prevent unauthorized access.
Please refer to the TrueNAS R50 Storage Appliance User Guide for more detailed instructions and illustrations on installing hard drives in the system.
