Chapter 2: Hardware Installation 
Overview 
Your N3200 is designed for easy installation. To help you get started, the 
following chapter will help you quickly get your N3200 up and running. 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 
N3200. 
 
3.  Be careful not to use magnetized screwdrivers around the N3200’s 
electronic components. 
Hard Disk Installation 
The N3200 supports three standard 3.5” Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks. To install 
a hard disk into the N3200, follow the steps below: 
 
1.  Remove the front panel of the N3200. 
 
2.  Unscrew the thumbscrews which are securing the hard drive rails. 
 
3.  Remove the hard drive rails and install them to your SATA hard disk(s). 
 
4.  Slide hard disks into the N3200 until they snap into place. 
 
5.  Replace the thumbscrews. 
 
6.  Replace the N3200 front cover. 
 
NOTE 
 
If your HDD was part of a RAID 1 or 5 array previously, it automatically rebuilds. If 
you replace all the drives with higher capacity drives, you need to go to 
Administrator login and format the drives.
