THE TS-469U-RP EXTERIOR

Much like most Rackmount NAS servers out there the 4-bay TS-469U-RP is large and when i say large i mean 439mm in width, 499mm in depth and 44mm in height with a weight of 7.63kg.

The QNAP logo is placed at the far left of the front right next to a USB 2.0 port while the on/off power switch is placed at the far right next to the HDD/LAN activity LEDs and the one copy backup button.

As expected all 4 drive trays are hot-swap and come with locks on them for increased data security.

The drive trays are made out of aluminum and can accommodate both 2.5" and 3.5" drives.

Moving at the top of the unit we see the Intel Atom sticker on the far left side and the HDD sequence sticker on the right side.

On both sides the TS-469U-RP comes with all the necessary bolts for installation.

At the rear we get pretty much everything we'd ever wish for including a VGA port (reserved for service), HDMI port, reset button, 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4 USB 2.0 ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 eSATA ports and two power supply units.

The two power supplies may work together but if one of them fails the other can keep the system running on its own so that's perfect for enterprise use. Both power supply units are also completely removable (easier to swap if they fail) and each comes with its own 40mm exhaust fan.

These power supplies are made by Delta Electronics and have a maximum output of 250W each.
