Getting the drives mounted in the trays is a simple affair. Flip the drives over, slide the drive into the tray and use the provided silver screws to secure the drives to the tray.
QNAP also made provisions for SSDs and 2.5″ drives. They are attached in three points on the bottom of the tray using the black screws that are provided.
Insert the assembled trays and drives into the unit and lock them in and the deivce is ready to be connected to power and the network.
