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 …

What you need

Step 1

              Presentation : the different faces of the case

Here are the different interesting sides of the case: front (disk bay, LEDs), rear (connectors and fans).
power button
2 x RJ45 Gb ports
Disk and system activity LEDs
Kensington security slot (K-lock)
1 x power supply port
2 x USB 3 ports (1 front and 1 back)
1 x reset button

Step 3

              Backplane and memoy access

2 x SATA port
Only the empty memory slot is accessible.
Evolution since v2018: internal memory (2 GB) is soldered on board.

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 …

              Teardown: motherboard removal 1/2

to remove the motherboard from the case, unscrew the 4 screws as follows …
There are 4 x screws to fix the metal support of the motherboard. 4 x screws to fix the motherboard to the metal support. And finally 4 x screws to fix the disk bay cage to the metal support of the motherboard. Pay attention!

Step 9

              Teardown: motherboard removal 2/2

once the screws are removed, pull the front panel (at the USB port) slightly outwards …
This allows the connectors to pass through.
then lift up the motherboard with the disk cage.
