Instruction Manual How to Setup RAID functions Installation 1. Use a screw driver to loosen the two screws and slide in the 2.5” HDDs. Note: If you want to build RAID functions, you must install two hard drives at the same time. 2.
Instruction Manual RAID Mode DIP Switch Setting 1. BIG(Span) Mode DIP SW-1: OFF, SW-2: OFF, SW-4: OFF Installed drives are configured to offer maximum storage space (con catenated), but no additional performance or data redundancy. 2. JBOD(Single) Mode (default) DIP SW-1: ON, SW-2: OFF, SW-4: OFF The installed drives will be configured as JBOD (Single)(Just a Bunch Of Disks). The number of available drives is equal to the number of physical drives.
Instruction Manual 3. FAST(Striped) Mode DIP SW-1: OFF, SW-2: ON, SW-4: OFF A storage policy configuration in which I/O processing is balanced evenly to all disks in a method known as striping, equivalent to RAID 0. Fast offers the best performance in terms of speed, but no data redundancy. 4.
Instruction Manual 5. SAFE33 Mode DIP SW-1: OFF, SW-2: OFF, SW-4: ON The RAID Mode is SAFE33, wherein 30% of each HDD is used to build a SAFE(mirror) RAID and also use the rest of the capacity to build a second BIG(Span) HDD. In this mode, two physical drives will be recognized, one is SAFE(mirror) and the other is BIG(Span). 6.
Instruction Manual 8. GUI ONLY Mode DIP SW-1: ON, SW-2: ON, SW-4: ON This mode offers configuration through the GUI(Graphic Utility Inter- face).

Instruction Manual File System Expansion for Windows Overview This appendix describes the procedure to expand file systems that have been created on volumes that have increased in size, using Microsoft Windows while preserving your existing data. After you have added more hard disk drives to increase the storage capacity of a BIG volume, you must use the supplemental procedures to allow the expanded capacity to be recognized by the Windows file System. A command-line utility named “Diskpart.
Instruction Manual 2. At a command prompt, type diskpart. 3. Type list volume to display the existing volumes on the computer. 4. Type select volume where “” is number of the volume that you want to extend. In this case that will be “2”: 5. Type extend 6. Type exit to quit Diskpart.exe The volume size will be updated to reflect the expanded physical storage capacity while maintaining all of the existing data that is stored on the volume.
Instruction Manual Note: Before the hard drive partition/volume has been extended the “152.67GB Unallocated” was not accessible for data usage. After using the diskpart utility to extend the hard drive partition/volume capacity, the Windows host side matches the virtual hard drive partition/volume using the DIP switches. For more information about the diskpart utility, please see the documentation on Microsoft’s website at: http://www.microsoft.
Instruction Manual Procedure To grow the partition/volume using VolumeWorks: Please note: VolumeWorks can only resize HFS+ partitions. The second drive, when growing from JBOD to BIG must not have any partition information on it. It must be a raw disk with no data of any kind. 1. Start VolumeWorks 2. Click on the volume that you want to extend, then click on the Repartition button on the bottom.
Instruction Manual 3. Now, click on the Resize button on the bottom 4. Now, move the slider all the way to the right within the Resize dialog box.

Instruction Manual File System Expansion for Linux Overview The following describes how to expand file systems (Linux) that have been created on volumes that have increased in size, while preserving all of your existing data. After you have added more hard disk drives to increase the storage capacity of a BIG volume, you must use the supplemental procedure described below to allow the expanded capacity to be recognized by Linux.
Instruction Manual 2. Type print within the parted console to bring up the volume and disk information. (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/hdc: 0.000-800000.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.063 400000.000 primary ext2 3. Use the resize command extend the size of volume 1 listed above. (parted) resize 1 0.063 400000 4. Type print to verify the resize of volume 1. (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/hdc: 0.000-800000.
Instruction Manual Filesystem Flags 1 0.063 800000.000 primary ext2 The new space should be added to the existing drive while maintaining the data on the volume. Before resize: (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/hdc: 0.000-800000.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.063 400000.000 primary ext2 After resize: (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/hdc: 0.000-800000.
