1 Unpacking the Unit
ES60 Bezel
TrueNAS units are carefully packed and shipped with trusted carriers to arrive in perfect condition.

3 Rail Kit Assembly
3.1 Separate Cabinet Rails from Rack Rails
Each rack rail includes an inner cabinet rail that must be removed. Extend the cabinet rail as shown below until the
white release tab is exposed. Slide the white release tab to the right to release the cabinet rail. Remove the cabinet
rail from the rack rail. Repeat the process for the second rail.
The cabinet rails are mounted on each side of the system. Align the cabinet rail keyholes with the posts on the side
of the chassis. Slide the rail towards the rear of the system until the metal tab clicks and secures the rail in place.
Repeat this process on the other side.
3.2 Mount Cabinet Rails
The ES60 occupies 4U of rack space. The rails are mounted in the center 2U of that space.
Cage nuts for racks with square and round holes are included. Install four cage nuts inside the rack, two where the
rails attach to the front of the rack, and two at the rear. Align each cage nut with the others, both front to back and
left to right. The cage nuts provide an attachment point inside the rack for the rail screws.
The rail ends are stamped Front and Rear. Place one rail in the rack with the Front stamp at the front facing out-
wards. The Rear stamp goes at the back of the rack. Align the pins on both rail ends with the mounting holes in the
rack. Make sure the cage nuts line up with the rail holes. Push the pins in to the rack holes until they lock in place.
Use the provided screws to secure the rails to the cage nuts.

3.4 Mount the Unit in the Rack
Caution: Two people are required to safely lift the chassis for rack installation or removal. Do not install
drives until after the chassis has been installed in the rack, and remove all drives before removing the chassis from
the rack.
Lift the ES60 with attached cabinet rails and align the cabinet rails with the inside front of the rack rails.
Carefully slide the ES60 forwards into the rack rails until the unit stops (1). Locate the blue tabs on the inside of the
cabinet rails. Slide the tabs towards the front of the ES60 and hold them in place (2). Push the chassis into the rack
until the ears are flush with the front of the rack (3). The thumbscrews on the ears are used to secure the unit in the
rack after drive trays have been installed (4).

4 Drive Tray Installation
Do not install the drives until the chassis has been installed in the rack.
4.1 Remove Top Cover
Slide the unit out on the rails. Unscrew the cover screws to unlock the top cover (1). Slide the top cover forwards,
then lift it off (2).
4.2 Install Drive Trays
TrueNAS systems only support qualied HDs and SSDs. Contact the Sales Team for more drives or replacements.
Adding unqualied drives to the system voids the warranty. Call Support if drives are improperly installed in trays.
To add a new drive into an empty tray, place the tray on a flat surface (1) and push the hard drive into the tray (2).
Make sure the connector is at the rear of the tray.
Support: 1-855-473-7449 or 1-408-943-4100 Email: [email protected]Page 6
Drive trays are used to mount drives in the array.
A standard drive tray installation order simplies support and is strongly recommended: install SSD drives for SLOG
rst, if present. Follow this with SSD drives for L2ARC, if present, then hard drives or SSD drives for data storage.
Install the rst drive tray in the front left drive bay. Install the next drive tray to the right of the rst. Install remain-
ing drive trays to the right across the row. After a row is lled with drives, move back to the next row and start again
with the left bay. A label on the front left of the lid shows the preferred order of drives.
Slide the tray button left to open the latch. Carefully lower the drive tray into a drive bay until the latch begins to
move into place. Push the latch down until it locks into place.
For proper air flow and cooling, the entire first row of drive trays must be installed. The top cover must also
be in place when the unit is on.
Drive Tray LED’s
Light Color/Behavior Status
Solid Blue Normal/Hot Spare
Blinking Blue Activity
Solid Amber Issue/Fault/Identify
Note for Samsung 1643a 2.5” SSDs:
Drive tray LED’s will only activate during drive activity or when there is a drive fault.
Drive trays are used to mount drives in the chassis. Each drive tray has LEDs that denote its current status.

5 ES60 Cable Management Arm
The included cable management arm (CMA) is not required for operation. If desired, the CMA can be used to help
organize the ES60 power and data cables.
The tabs along the side of the flex housing can be unclipped from the top, the bottom, or removed entirely.
5.1 Install the Cable Management Arm
There are two attachment posts on the left rear side of the ES60 for the CMA. Pulling the units lightly out of the rack
can make these posts more accessible. Align the holes on the CMA chassis bracket with the posts. Slide the cable
management arm forwards and pull the lever on the latch upwards to lock the bracket into place.
Locate the end of the flex housing with exposed pins. Un-clip and open the two tabs closest to the end, allowing the
flex housing to compress enough to t into the bracket holes. Press the flex housing rmly into the bracket until the
pins seat in the holes.
Note: You can only use the Cable Management Arm if your rackmount rail depth is between 27.5” and 31”.
Support: 1-855-473-7449 or 1-408-943-4100 Email: [email protected]Page 8
Remove the two screws already attached to the side of the CMA rail bracket. Align the screw holes with the holes in
the rear of the left cabinet rail and attach the bracket to the rail with the screws.
Locate the end of the flex housing with exposed holes. Un clip and open the two tabs closest to the end, allowing
the flex housing to expand enough to t over the bracket pins. Press the flex housing rmly into the bracket until
the holes seat on the pins.
Completed Cable Management Arm assembly:
Power and data cables are routed through the flex housing. The tabs can be opened or removed to allow access or
space for cable ends. Leave some slack in the cables at both ends to allow for movement of the arm and chassis.
