Introduction
This NAS integrates 2 Go of soldered memory, an INTEL Celeron J4025 64-bit two-core processor, two slots for SATA drive (HDD or SSD) 2,5" or 3,5".
‘Note: the interest of this tutorial is however limited.’
Indeed, most of the components that a user can be brought to add or change are now accessible directly, without disassembly (storage disks, memory expansion).
The BIOS battery, and the fan remain inaccessible directly and require the disassembly of the NAS described in this tutorial to be changed (whether they are HS or replace them not the best).
The dismantling time is estimated 15 (a single experiment on the meter). That said, it is certainly achievable in 10 minutes.
The photographs were taken with an iPhone Xr, using a portable LED studio.
FACOM screwdrivers have been used. Becarrefull the screws are not cruciform anymore …

Step 4
Case : removing the cover
- Use a screwdriver (flat tool) to unlock the two plastic lugs.
- These are two locking notches (on the front, left side) to be “unlocked” or “unlatched”.
- Be careful not to bend the metal bar.
- then slide the two parts of the shell parallel to each other, as shown in the pictures.
- then separate the two parts from each other perpendicularly.
- the removal of the rear screws (fan, plate) is not mandatory …
