Note that all mounted hard disk drives
must be tested and released for mounting by Dallmeier (HDD whitelist in the Partner Forum)!
may not be formatted or partitioned!
may not be used in another Smatrix device already!
Depending on the number and the properties (capacity, new or used) of the mounted hard disk drives, various messages and
dialogues are displayed during the first start and the initialization.
► Confirm the messages, if required.
► Observe the instructions given in the dialogues.
► Note the appropriate Configuration documentation.
► Load the Default System Parameters as first step of the configuration.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
Mounting
The hard disks should be mounted in a row , starting with the slot for HDD1 (left, lower).
► Place the HDD drawer unit on the HDD’s underside.
► Ensure that the connections of the HDD are positioned
at the rear side of the HDD drawer unit.
►Ensure that HDD and HDD drawer unit flush at the rear
side.
► Mount the HDD drawer unit with 4 screws on the
HDD.

Mounting
