Power down the unit and set the dip switch to the desired RAID Mode. 3. While holding the SET button with a ballpoint pen, turn the unit on. A long beep will sound from the Port Multiplier. The SET button may be released once the long beep stops.
RAID Mode Switches M2, M1, M0 (SW1:3 – SW1-5) The RAID Mode switches define what type of RAID will be initialized when the unit is powered up while the RAID Mode button is held down.
RAID 1 or 10 (Mirror set, Stripe of mirror sets) Number of drives: 2 (RAID 1) or 4 (RAID 10). Unit capacity: size of one member (RAID 1) or size of two members (RAID 10). Spares: yes – if EZ mode is not disabled and 3 (RAID 1) or 5 (RAID 10) drives are present, the array will be initialized with a spare. Spares: yes – if EZ mode is not disabled and 3 (RAID 1) or 5 (RAID 10) drives are present, the array will be initialized with a spare.
CLONE mode works the same way as RAID 1, by maintaining a complete copy of the entire set of data on each drive. LARGE (Spanned set) Number of drives: at least 2 Unit capacity: 100% of all drives together regardless of differences in size Spares: no Fault tolerance: cannot withstand the loss of any drives without losing data. However, some data may be recovered as long as the drive(s) carrying the file system data (boot record, directory, etc.) remain online. LARGE mode is neither a RAID nor is it a JBOD.
