Packaging

The box looks exactly as with the AS3102T. On its front is a photo of the NAS, and inside a blue frame are the server's technical specifications. A small icon inside this frame points to the three-year warranty, which is one of the strongest assets of this product.


At the top of the box is a list of the contents inside, which are the NAS, an installation CD, a quick start guide, the power brick and its power cord, a LAN cable, and eight thumbscrews for the HDDs.


On one of two sides, Asustor shows us how the NAS can be configured through a smartphone or a tablet over the AiMaster app. They also claim that the creation of a dedicated cloud system is very easy with an Asustor NAS.


Asustor points to some of the most interesting usage scenarios for this NAS on the other side of the box.


You will find a brief multilingual features description on the rear of the box.

Contents & Bundle

Open the top flap of the box and you will be greeted by a "thank you" message and a number of QR codes which link to various Asustor-related pages. The NAS inside is well protected by a couple foam spacers.


A smaller box contains all the accessories. Asustor includes a software disc, which we believe is unfortunate since many PCs aren't equipped with an optical drive. They should provide a USB stick instead.


The power brick is made by Delta Electronics, the largest PSU OEM. Its model number is DPS-65VB, and it can deliver 65W of power, or 5.417 Amps with 12V output.
