4.1. Cabling Instructions
An example of connecting a QNAP NAS to four REXP-1200U-RP enclosures is shown below.
1
Connect the QNAP NAS to the REXP-1200U-RP:
If two (or above) REXP-1200U-RP enclosures are configured, connect the two storage
expansion ports on the NAS to two REXP-1200U-RP enclosures for maximized
performance.
2
Connect the QNAP NAS to the REXP-1200U-RP:
Connect the storage expansion port* on the QNAP NAS to the IN (●●) port of a
REXP-1200U-RP using the external Mini SAS cable (SFF-8088).
(*Note: Optional storage expansion card is required on the QNAP NAS.)
3
Connect the REXP-1200U-RP to another REXP-1200U-RP:
Connect a Mini SAS cable (SFF-8088) from the OUT (◆◆) port of the REXP-1200U-RP
to the IN (●●) port of another REXP-1200U-RP.
Caution: Do not connect an OUT port (◆◆) to another OUT port (◆◆) or an IN port
(●●) to another IN port (●●).
23
An example of connecting a QNAP NAS to four REXP-1000 Pro enclosures is shown below.
1
Connect the QNAP NAS to the REXP-1000 Pro:
If two (or above) REXP-1000 Pro enclosures are configured, connect the two storage
expansion ports on the NAS to two REXP-1000 Pro enclosures for maximized
performance.
2

25
5. Remove an Air Duct (Applied to REXP-1600U-RP)
Unlatch the air duct with your thumb and index finger. Pull the air duct upward to
disengage it from the RAID expansion enclosure.
26
6. Install/Remove a Fan Module
6.1. Install a Fan Module (Applied to REXP-1600U-RP and REXP-1200U-RP)
Insert a fan module into the fan slot until the fan module is fully seated.
Warning:
To avoid system overheating, replace the fan module within 3 minutes. Do not attempt
to operate the system without operational fan module(s).
6.2. Remove a Fan Module (Applied to REXP-1600U-RP and REXP-1200U-RP)
Remove the fan module by grasping and pulling up the fan module from the fan slot.
27
7. Install Power Supply Unit (Applied to REXP-1600U-RP an d
REXP-1200U-RP)
