Sàbhailteachd
Sgaoileadh Statach
Rabhadh - Sgaoileadh electrostatach (ESD)
Faodaidh dealan statach togail nad bhodhaig agus a leigeil ma sgaoil nuair a bhios tu a’ suathadh ri stuthan giùlain. Tha sgaoileadh electrostatach (ESD) cronail air innealan agus co-phàirtean dealanach mothachail. Cùm na molaidhean sàbhailteachd sin ann an cuimhne mus fosgail thu cùis an t-siostaim no mus làimhsich thu co-phàirtean siostam nach gabh atharrachadh gu teth.
- Cuir dheth an siostam agus thoir air falbh càbaill cumhachd mus fosgail thu a’ chùis no ma suathadh tu air na pàirtean a-staigh.
- Cuir an siostam air uachdar glan, cruaidh mar bhòrd fiodha. Cleachd mata dissipative ESD ma ghabhas e dèanamh gus na pàirtean a-staigh a dhìon.
- Dèan suathadh air a’ chassis meatailt le do làmh rùisgte gus dealan statach a sgaoileadh nad bhodhaig mus làimhsich thu pàirtean a-staigh sam bith, a’ toirt a-steach co-phàirtean nach deach a chuir a-steach san t-siostam fhathast. Tha sinn an-còmhnaidh a’ moladh a bhith a’ caitheamh bann-dùirn anti-statach agus a’ cleachdadh càball talmhainn.
- Glèidh a h-uile pàirt den t-siostam ann am pocannan anti-statach.
A 'làimhseachadh an t-siostam
Tha sinn a’ moladh gum biodh co-dhiù dithis a’ togail siostam TrueNAS.
Rabhadh
Never attempt to lift a TrueNAS system loaded with drives! Install the system in a rack before adding drives. Remove drives before unracking the system.
Cùm an siostam bho thaobh no bonn nuair as urrainnear. Thoir an aire an-còmhnaidh air càballan no luchd-ceangail sgaoilte agus seachain a bhith a’ prìneadh no a’ bualadh air na h-eileamaidean sin nuair as urrainnear.
Bidh an sgrìobhainn seo a’ cleachdadh “clì” agus “deas” a rèir do shealladh nuair a tha thu a’ coimhead air beulaibh siostam no raca.

Comharran aghaidh
The ES24F has buttons/lights for power, alarm mute, locate ID, and fault. The fault light activates during the initial power-on self-test (POST) or when the TrueNAS software generates an alert.

Co-phàirtean cùil agus puirt

Rack the System
The ES24F requires an EIA-310 compliant rack. To properly install the rack rails, the vertical rack posts need to be spaced between 23” – 35.75” (584mm-908mm) apart.
Stàlaich na rèilichean chassis
Each rail has two components, the outer rack rail and the inner chassis rail. To protect it during shipping, the chassis rail is inserted into the rack rail and must be removed before attaching to a system. Slide the chassis rail forward until the metal catch stops it in place. Push in the catch and continue to slide the chassis rail forward until it is free of the rack rail.

Align the chassis rail end stamped “FRONT” with the front of the ES24F. Fit the rail keyholes over the system mounting pegs and slide it into place. Use one of the included short M4 screws to secure the rail to the system.

Repeat this procedure to attach the second chassis rail to the other side of the system.
Stàlaich na Rack Rails
- Ensure the rack has enough space for the system. The ES24F needs 2U of space for both the system and rack rails. The rack rails install into the bottom 1U of the reserved space.
- Align the rail end stamped “FRONT” with the front of the rack. Face the “FRONT” text inside the rack so the chassis rails can slide into the rack rails. Align the rail front pegs with the top and bottom holes in the bottom 1U and push the rail into the holes until the spring latch locks the rail in place.
The rail kit includes two optional retention screw hole extenders that you can screw into the middle rail attach point.

After you install the front of the rail, extend the back of the rack rail towards the equivalent attach points on the rear rack post. Make sure the rail remains level from front to back. Repeat this process to install the other rack rail.

Stàladh an t-siostam ann an Rack
Rabhadh
The ES24F requires two people to safely lift in and out of a rack. Do not install drives until after you mount the ES24F in the rack. Remove all drives before taking the ES24F out of the rack.
Align the chassis rails with the rack rails. Slide the ends of the chassis rails into the rack rails and push the system forward until the metal safety catches click into place. Squeeze the safety catches against the sides of the system and slide the ES24F into the rack.

Stàlaich dràibhearan
- TrueNAS appliances only support qualified hard drives and SSDs. Contact the Sales Team if you need more drives or replacements. Adding unqualified drives to the system voids the warranty. Call Support if drives are improperly installed in trays.
- To insert a drive in a tray, face the drive connectors toward the rear of the tray and align the side screw holes with the tray retention pegs. Push the drive side screw holes into the fixed retention pegs. Then, push the drive into the flexible retention pegs until it clicks.
- To remove a drive, push on the drive from the bottom of the tray to pop it out from the flexible retention pegs.

- If you purchased fewer than 24 drives with the system, the system has air baffles installed in all remaining drive tray slots. To install new drive trays in the system, remove a baffle by inserting a flathead screwdriver in the baffle grooves, then gently push the baffle out. For proper airflow, we recommend you keep all baffles in place unless you are installing new drives.

- Each drive tray has two indicator lights for status and fault. The status light is blue when the drive is active or a hot spare. The fault light is solid red when the drive has an error or an active identify command.
- Press the button on the drive tray to open the latch. Carefully slide the tray into a drive bay until the latch begins to close. Gently push the latch closed until it clicks into place in the chassis.

- To remove a drive tray, press the button to open the latch, then gently swing the latch open and pull the tray out.
Ceangail càballan cumhachd
- Na cuir a-steach na cordaichean cumhachd a-steach don ionad cumhachd fhathast. Ceangail sreang cumhachd ri cùl aon solar cumhachd. Cuir an corda anns a 'chl plastaigamp agus brùth air an taba a-steach don latch gus a ghlasadh na àite. Dèan ath-aithris air a 'phròiseas airson an dàrna solar cumhachd agus crann.

Program Power Loss Mode
The ES24F can be programmed to automatically restart if the power input has been lost and subsequently restored. By default, if the ES24F loses power, it does not automatically start when power is restored. You must press the power button to turn the system on. However, you can set the ES24F to restart automatically when power is restored to the system.
To activate this mode, quickly press the power button three times.
The power button blinks to indicate the current mode. When it blinks quickly, the system automatically starts when power is restored. When the button blinks slowly, you must manually power on the system after a power loss. To test the current setting, disconnect the power, wait a few moments, and plug the system back in.
Leudachadh stòraidh
- Plug the ES24F power cords into power outlets. Wait two minutes for the drives to start.
- To set up SAS between your TrueNAS system and expansion shelves, cable the first port on the first TrueNAS controller to the first port on the first expansion shelf IOM/expander. High
- Availability (HA) systems require another cable from the first port on the second TrueNAS controller to the first port on the second expansion shelf controller.
- Chan eil sinn a’ moladh rèiteachaidhean càbaill eile. Cuir fios gu iX Support ma tha feum agad air dòighean càbaill eile.
- Ma tha HA aig an t-siostam TrueNAS agad, ath-thòisich no fàilligeadh às deidh dhut càbaill SAS a cheangal gus draibhearan a shioncronachadh eadar riaghladairean.
Cudromach
- Nuair a bhios tu a’ stèidheachadh cheanglaichean SAS, feuch an cùm thu ris an uèirleadh exampgu h-ìosal.
- Connecting expansion shelves incorrectly causes errors. Never cable a single controller to different expanders on the same shelf.
