Hardware Installation 1. Secure the included Hard Drive Handles to the hard drives with the supplied screws and screw driver. 2. Press the front door in to release the latch and open the door. The door is also removable for easier access. 3. Inside will be a metal drive cage in front of the drive bays. Along the top of the drive cage are two small tabs. Press them down to release the cage and remove it.
4. Remove the cardboard inserts (if first time setup) and then insert the hard drives into the slots. If installing less than 4 drives, ensure a drive is installed in the bottom slot. This will help when reinstalling the metal cage. Hard drives can be removed from the enclosure by pressing down on the handles, then pulling them out. 5. Once all of the hard drives are installed, reinstall the metal cage and front door. Make sure the bottom of the cage stays inside of the track before closing the cover. 6.
How to Use Hard Drive DIP Switch The DIP switches on the rear of the hard drive enclosure first needs to be set, depending on the number of installed hard drives in the enclosure. The number of hard drives affects the available RAID modes that can be selected.
LED Status ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF Instruction Manual Description SPAN: Spanning concatenates multiple hard drives into a single large disk. Provides no performance or redundancy benefits. RAID 0 (Stripe): Striping combines multiple disk into a single large disk array. The data is split evenly across each disk simultaneously. Read/write performance is increased as a result, but failure of any one disk will make the entire array unusable.
Drive Status Indicators LED Status Description ON An error has been detected on one or more hard drive. OFF ON OFF RAID array is currently rebuilding. eSATA/USB/FireWire Connectivity The LED indicators will show which host interface is currently active on the enclosure. To switch interfaces, shut the enclosure off and disconnect old cable and then connect the new cable and turn the enclosure back on.
Fan Speed Control The cooling Smart Fan is automatically controlled by an integrated thermal sensor, but can also be set manually. The fan is capable of running at 3 different speeds depending on the temperature range of the enclosure (less than 45oC, between 4554oC, and greater than 55oC), or set manually to run constantly at a single speed.
