When Mac mini is inside the Netstor unit, press
and hold the power button for three seconds
until the LED button shows blue light; the
built-in solenoid actuator at rear of enclosure
will push Mac mini's power button to have Mac
mini and whole system power on.
Note:
The NA338TB3 chassis supports SGPIO. When any SSD/HDD fails, the
red LED indicator on the tray will light. The SGPIO function will be
effective when the RAID card supports SGPIO function (for example,
Areca’s RAID card).
3. Enclosure Setup

3.1 RAID card installation and PCIe expansion
1. Place NA338TB3 chassis on a level surface of a stable table.
2. Open the chassis by removing the top cover.
The enclosure setup includes three parts. First, the RAID card installation and
PCIe expansion. Second, the SSDs or 2.5" HDDs installation for storage. Third,
Mac host connection.
3. In order to have the PCIe expansion unit be turned to the upright position for the
RAID/third-party PCIe card installation, unscrew the three black screws at rear right
side of NA338TB3 chassis as well as unscrew the black screw at the front side of PCIe
expansion unit. After unscrewing, manually turn the PCIe expansion unit for the
upright position.
4. Three PCIe slots at rear of PCIe expansion unit are covered by removable L-shape
metal brackets. After unscrewing the screw of the L-shape metal bracket, the PCIe
slot is ready for the third-party PCIe card installation.

5. The layout of the PCIe slots within the PCIe expansion unit is as follows:
6. Connect the internal data cable between the rightmost HD mini-SAS connector on
backplane and the HD mini-SAS connector Channel 1~4 on RAID card, and connect
the rest internal data cables subsequently to the leftmost HD mini-SAS connector on
backplane and the HD mini-SAS connector Channel 13~16 on RAID card.
3.2 SSDs or 2.5" HDDs installation for storage
8Go Top ↑
7. Install RAID card and other third-party PCIe cards into the proper PCIe slots within
NA338TB3 and tighten them with screws on third-party PCIe cards' brackets.
8. When RAID card and the other third-party PCIe cards are installed properly, restore
the PCIe expansion unit from upright position to the original horizontal position. And
screw the four black screws back to the unit.
1. Take out the drive trays in front of the NA338TB3 chassis.
2. Place each SSD or 2.5" HDD in the drive tray, and fix the drive with the four mounting
screws to the tray.
3. Insert the drive trays with SSDs/HDDs back to the NA338TB3 chassis.

Users and producers can choose to connect Mac to NA338TB3 externally or internally
for work. For the external connection, connect any Thunderbolt 3 Mac computer to
NA338TB3 externally for production. On the other hand, for the internal application,
embed a Thunderbolt 3 Mac mini in the built-in removable plate drawer for operation.
1. Arrange a Thunderbolt 3 Mac computer near the NA338TB3.
1. After loosening the two thumbscrews on the removable integrated plate drawer, pull
the drawer out of the NA338TB3 chassis. Use a tool to bend the metal board on the
vertical side of the plate drawer to detach the metal board from drawer.
2. Connect NA338TB3 and Mac computer by Thunderbolt 3 cable.

2. Loosen the thumbscrew on plate drawer's cover, and place Mac mini into the drawer
case. Close and tighten the thumbscrew to fasten Mac mini with the plate drawer.
3. Insert the drawer with Mac mini back to the NA338TB3 storage enclosure, and tighten
the two thumbscrews on the removable integrated plate drawer.
4. Connect NA338TB3 and Mac mini by Thunderbolt 3 cable.
