Hardware Installation WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling, especially when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution. Be sure that you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. 1.
2. To reveal the drive bay, grasp the front panel and slide it upward. 3. With the hard drive label facing upward, gently slide each of your 3.5” hard drives into the drive bays until you feel resistance.
4. Slide the front panel back onto the S32BU33HR the same way it was removed. 5. Using a Philips head screw driver (not included), replace the side mounted screw on the left front facing side of the enclosure.
6. Using the included power adapter, connect the Power Adapter Port on the S352BU33HR to an available power outlet. 7. Connect the S352BU33HR to your computer system using the included USB 3.0 cable. 8. Set your desired RAID configuration and power on the device. WARNING! In order to prepare your drives for RAID operation, this enclosure will configure newly installed drives into your desired RAID configuration. Please be aware that any data currently on the drives may be lost during this process.
a) Ensure the S352BU33HR is powered off. b) Adjust the RAID Control Switch to your desired RAID configuration (See Available RAID Configurations). c) Press and hold the set RAID button while turning on the S352BU33HR on by pressing the Power Button. Note: RAID configuration is only required for initial configuraiton or if you would like to change your RAID configuration. Available RAID Configurations The S352BU33RER enclosure supports 4 different RAID configurations.
Combine - BIG In BIG, both drives appear together as a single large disk the size of both drives combined. This configuration enables you to create a larger volume than would be available using a single drive without the performance increase offered with RAID 0. R1 (RAID1) – Mirroring In RAID1 both drives appear as a single disk and data is written identically to both. This level protects your data from individual drive failure as a backup of all data is written instantly.

Disconnecting the Hard Drive Windows 1. Select the “Safely remove Hardware and Eject Media” icon, located in the task bar. 2. Select the Mass Storage Device from the list that appears. 3. Wait for the message indicating that it is now safe to remove the device. Note: Removing the connected drive prior to receiving notification that it is safe to do so, could result in losing or corrupting data stored on the drive.
Initializing the Hard Drive 1. If the drive array is new it may need to be initialized and formatted before use. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/ 7 / 8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Disk Management from the left window panel. 2. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive. Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating an “MBR” or “GPT” disk.
3. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check the listed hard drive capacity to confirm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”. 4. Several on screen prompts will follow walking you through the steps to create the partition. Follow these prompts to complete partition creation.
