Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To install a drive, align the hard drive mounting holes with those on the tray. Use the provided screws to secure the drive to the tray frame, ensuring the SATA connectors are positioned at the rear of the assembly. Slide the tray into the open drive bay of your Synology NAS until you hear a firm click or the locking mechanism engages.
Compatibility
This tray is exclusively designed for the following models: DS409, DS409+, DS410, DS410j, DS411, DS411+, DS411+II, DS411j, DS413j, and DS414j. Do not attempt to use this in newer units as the rail and locking systems are physically different.
Care
Keep the tray free of dust buildup, which can impact cooling. If the tray needs cleaning, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid applying liquid cleaners directly to the aluminium surface.
