1 Introduction

The TrueNAS Mini R is a 2U Storage Array that has twelve (12) hot-swappable 3�5” drive bays and the option to

choose between rack or desktop mounting�

Your system comes with the TrueNAS operating system preloaded�

Review the safety considerations and requirements before handling the Mini R or installing it into a rack�

1.2 Requirements

We recommend these tools when installing a TrueNAS Mini R in a rack:

• #2 Phillips head screw driver

• Flat head screw driver

• Tape measure

• Level

1.1 Safety

1.1.1 Static Discharge

Static electricity can build up in your body and discharge when touching conductive materials� Electrostatic

Discharge (ESD) is harmful to sensitive electronic devices and components� Keep these safety recommendations in

mind before opening the system case or handling non-hot-swappable system components:

•Turn o the system and remove power cables before opening the case or touching internal components.

• Place the system on a clean, hard work surface like a wooden tabletop� Using an ESD dissipative mat can also

help protect the internal components�

• Touch the metal chassis with your bare hand to dissipate static electricity in your body before touching any

internal components, including components not yet installed in the system� Using an anti-static wristband and

grounding cable is another option�

• Store all system components in anti-static bags�

You can nd more preventative tips and details about ESD at https://www�wikihow�com/Ground-Yourself-to-Avoid-

Destroying-a-Computer-with-Electrostatic-Discharge�

We recommend at least two people lift a TrueNAS system�

Hold the system from the sides or bottom whenever possible� Always be mindful of loose cabling or connectors and

avoid pinching or bumping these elements whenever possible�

This document uses “left” and “right” according to your perspective when facing the front of a system or rack�

Never attempt to lift a TrueNAS system loaded with drives! Install the system in a rack before adding drives�

Remove drives before de-racking the system�

1.1.2 Handling the System

3 Rack the Mini R

3.1 Attach the Chassis Rails

You must remove the chassis rail from the rack rail before mounting it on the system� Slide the chassis rail out until

the metal catch stops it� Push the catch-release and slide the chassis rail out of the rack rail until it is free�

PUSH

SLIDE

Align the chassis rail on the side of the system designated by the stickers and ensure they are right-side-up� Place

the rail slots over the chassis tabs, then slide the rail toward the front of the system until it clicks into place�

Secure the rail to the system using one of the low prole #6 rail screws. Repeat this process for the other rail.

3.2 Install the Rack Rails

Align a rack rail with the yellow sticker toward the front of the rack. The at side must face outside the rack, and the

empty inner rail must face inside the rack� Place the front tabs and black retaining buttons just above the center

holes of each U you are mounting the rail in� Push the tabs into them until the black buttons fully depress, then slide

the tabs down. Place two M5 machine screws with ush washers in the top and bottom threaded holes.

With the front of the rail installed, extend the back of the rack rail towards the equivalent attach points on the rear

rack post� Make sure the rail remains level from front to back� Follow this process to install the other rack rail�

M5 Screw

#6 Screw

Front Back

The Mini R requires an EIA-310 compliant rack� The front and rear vertical rack posts must be 19⅛” - 36⅞ ” apart�

The Mini R comes with a standard rail kit and an optional extended rail kit, depending on your purchase�

The standard rail kit supports racks 19⅛” - 26.6” deep� The extended rail kit supports racks 26 ⁄ ” - 36⅞ ” deep�

5 Install Hard Drives

5.1 Remove Drive Trays

Release the locking arm by pushing the large circular button to the right� Fully open the locking arm, then gently grip

the top and bottom of the tray and remove it�

The Mini R supports iXsystems-qualied hard drives up to 18 TB. The Mini R also requires hard drives designed for

Network Attached Storage (NAS)� These drives run cooler and quieter than desktop drives� Please see the Drive

Compatability List available at https://www�truenas�com/truenas-mini/�

When ordered without hard drives, drive trays ship with protective ller inserts. If you don’t ll all bays with hard

drives, keep the llers in the empty trays to protect them.

5.2 Removing Drive Fillers

Remove the two rear screws holding the ller. Gently spread both sides of the tray away from the ller until the pins

release, then remove the ller.

5.3 Place Drives in Trays

Place the hard drive in the tray and secure it with four screws�

5.4 3.5” to 2.5” SSD Adapters

Users can convert Mini R 3�5” HDD trays into 2�5” SSD trays with adapters�

Attach an SSD to the adapter using two of the SSD screws that came with the adapter� Ensure the SSD connecter

faces outside the adapter� Place the adapter in a drive tray and use the last SSD screw to secure the SSD to the tray�

Use three HDD screws to attach the adapter and SSD to the drive tray�

To install the tray into the system, follow the instructions in “5�5 Installing Drive Trays” on page 9� Ensure you

attached the SSD to the adapter with the connector facing toward the system�
