**NOTES**(*) The Nodegrid Net Services Router supports a maximum of 2 SATA drives, which can be divided into 2 Storage cards or in one M.2 SATA card.  
 (**) The Secure Isolated Mode allows for the management of the cards as if they would be located in a normal Slot, but the network traffic is isolated from any other slot.

### Configure Extra Storage Devices on NSR

**IMPORTANT**When additional storage is added, special steps are required to allow the system to see more than one disk (i.e., use both storage and an LTE/M2.SATA module).

If using Storage and LTE/M2.SATA:

- LTE/M2.SATA must be installed in slot 4.
- Storage module must be installed in slot 5.
- M2.SATA must be installed in Channel A.
- Modem must be installed in Channel B.
