QNAP Single Power Supply w/o Bracket for 2U, 8 Bay NAS
Power is the unseen foundation of every storage deployment. For businesses relying on NAS for file sharing, backups, virtualization, and collaboration, a dependable power supply is essential. The QNAP Single Power Supply w/o Bracket for 2U, 8 Bay NAS is engineered to deliver reliable, steady power without adding unnecessary complexity to your rack. This single PSU unit is designed to integrate with QNAP’s 2U, 8-bay NAS chassis, providing a stable electrical baseline that supports sustained read/write operations even under demanding workloads. The 8-bay configuration expands storage capacity while the power supply maintains clean, consistent voltage to protect data integrity and ensure smooth operation across all drives, controllers, and network interfaces. By opting for the w/o bracket variant, you gain a streamlined installation experience with less bulk inside the chassis, making replacement and maintenance easier for IT teams. Whether you’re expanding capacity, refreshing an aging power rail, or standardizing a storage infrastructure, this power supply is built to deliver dependable power in professional NAS environments. It’s a compact, purpose-built solution that aligns with QNAP’s engineering standards for reliable power delivery, helping to minimize downtime and maximize uptime for critical data workloads.
- Designed specifically for QNAP 2U, 8-bay NAS systems, delivering a stable, clean power rail that supports multiple drives, RAID controllers, and high-throughput data transfers. This power supply helps maintain consistent CPU and memory performance by reducing power fluctuations during peak transfer bursts, so your NAS can sustain fast read/write speeds across all bays even when the system is under heavy load.
- Compact, single power supply unit without a mounting bracket offers a streamlined installation and space-saving integration within compatible NAS enclosures. The w/o bracket design minimizes internal bulk, simplifies cable routing, and makes service and replacement straightforward, which is particularly valuable in dense data center racks or office environments where space efficiency matters.
- Reliability features support business continuity by helping prevent unexpected downtime. The PSU is engineered to deliver steady power across the NAS’s operating envelope, contributing to consistent performance for file sharing, backups, virtual machines, and other mission-critical tasks. In environments with multiple drives actively spinning, stable voltage helps reduce drive stress and improves overall system resilience.
- Energy-conscious design and thermal considerations may contribute to lower operating costs over time. By providing efficient, stable power delivery with thoughtful thermal management, this power supply supports quiet operation and fan efficiency, which can translate into reduced cooling demands and lower energy consumption in larger deployments.
- Easy integration with existing QNAP hardware and a plug-and-play upgrade path for compatible 2U, 8-bay NAS models. The single PSU approach keeps configuration simple while ensuring that your storage infrastructure remains scalable and ready for future expansion without introducing complex multi-PSU management.

How to Install QNAP Single Power Supply w/o Bracket for 2U, 8 Bay NAS
- Power down your NAS and unplug the power cable from the outlet. Ensure all data transfers are complete and that the system is safe to service.
- Open the chassis access panel or the designated PSU bay area according to your NAS model’s maintenance procedure. If replacing an existing PSU, carefully disconnect the cables and remove the old unit following the device’s service guidelines.
- Take the QNAP Single Power Supply w/o Bracket and align it with the 2U NAS backplane or PSU bay interface. Insert the PSU carefully, ensuring that the power connectors engage properly with the backplane or motherboard connectors as designed for your enclosure.
- Secure the PSU using the appropriate mounting method for your specific model (this may involve screws or a retention mechanism provided by the enclosure). Double-check that the unit is seated firmly and that all connectors are fully seated to prevent any intermittent power issues.
- Reconnect the power cable to a suitable power source, reassemble any covers, and power on the NAS. Monitor the status LEDs and verify that the system recognizes the PSU and that all eight bays boot up normally without power-related warnings or errors. If available, consult the NAS’s monitoring software to confirm consistent voltage delivery and healthy hardware status across drives and controllers.
