2 Installation and Setup
2.1 Hard Drive Installation
It is highly recommended that all of the hard drives used are the same size. However, if they are
different sizes, it is recommended that the drives are placed from largest to smallest from the
top tray to the bottom tray.
Note: At least one SATA hard disk with at least 80 GB capacity must be installed
before the unit can be used. The unit does not ship with any hard drives installed.
Follow these steps to install a hard drive into the unit:
1. Remove the topmost hard drive tray (Figure 2-1) from the freeStor 4020.
Note: Ensure that the hard drive is a SATA drive (Figure 2-2) and not an ATA or
SCSI drive.
