2 Preparation
A Philips screwdriver is needed for screws and a cutting instrument for any zip ties.
Shut down the TrueNAS system and unplug the power cable. Note where any other
cables are connected to the back of the system and unplug them also. If a “Tamper
Resistant” sticker is present, removing or cutting it to remove the case does not
aect the system warranty.
2.1 Anti-static Precautions
Static electricity can build up in your body and discharge when touching conductive
materials. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is very harmful to sensitive electronic devic-
es and components. Keep these safety recommendations in mind before opening
the system case or handling system components:
1. Turn o the system and remove the power cable before opening the system case
or touching any internal components.
2. 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.
3. Touch the metal chassis of the Mini with your bare hand before touching any
internal component, including components not yet installed in the system. This re-
directs static electricity in your body away from the sensitive internal components.
Using an anti-static wristband and grounding cable is another option.
4. Store all system components in anti-static bags.
