How to Install Qnap Rail Kit for ES NAS Series

• Prepare the rack: Verify your 19-inch rack is clean, level, and has adequate clearance for the ES NAS unit and surrounding cabling. Assess depth and airflow requirements to ensure there is room for extended rails and cooling paths before starting the installation.
• Attach rails to rack: Align the rail brackets with the vertical rack rails and secure them with the supplied screws and anchors. Confirm that both sides are level and parallel to prevent binding when sliding the NAS into place, which helps avoid stress on chassis rails during operation.
• Mount the ES NAS chassis: With a second set of hands if needed, position the ES NAS unit so its chassis mounting holes align with the rail brackets. Use the included fasteners to fasten the unit to the rails, following the manufacturer’s depth and alignment guidance to ensure stable mounting.
• Adjust and test: Extend the rails to confirm smooth movement and stable support under load. Check for any binding or misalignment, and verify that there is sufficient clearance for cables and fans to operate without interference during use.
• Final checks and commissioning: Re-torque screws as needed, verify cable routing, and ensure the NAS powers on correctly. Confirm drive detection and basic network connectivity after installation, then perform a brief uptime test to validate stability and performance.
