1.1. Notes and Precautions
1. Your AS6704T and AS6706T supports the AS-T10G2 10-Gigabit Ethernet network card. Installation of the AS-T10G2
requires use of the included bracket designed for the Lockerstor Gen2 series of NAS devices.
2. Your NAS must remain powered on for the duration of the switch between PCIe mode and M.2 mode. Interrupting
the power while your NAS is switching PCIe modes may result in your NAS becoming inoperable. Your NAS will restart
automatically to make the switch.

3.1. Troubleshooting
Q: After installing network card my NAS won’t start. What’s wrong?
A: Please follow the steps below to resolve this issue:
1. Check if the LED indicators, system buzzer, and LCD display panel are operating normally.
2. If your NAS is unable to recognize the network card or cannot be started up properly, please check that
you have used network card that is compatible with the system. Also, please reinstall the network card in
order to confirm that it has been installed properly.
3. If your NAS still does not operate normally, please remove the newly installed network card, and then
restart the NAS to see if it is able to operate normally.
4. If the previous steps have not solved your problem, please contact your local dealer or ASUSTOR
customer service.
