1.1 Packing contents
The following parts need to be present in the packing:
EW7043
QIG
USB A male – USB micro B male cable
USB power cable
2.0 Installation of the hard disk
Open the enclosure by sliding the covers
3 | ENGLISH
Connect the hard disks to the SATA connectors
Close the enclosure with the covers
3.0 Connect the EW7043 to your PC/Laptop
Use the supplied USB A male to USB micro B male cable to connect the EW7043 to
the USB-A port of your PC/Laptop.
In some cases it is possible the USB port of your PC/Laptop does not supply enough
power to power the EW7043, in this case use the additional USB power cable to
provide additional power to the EW7043.
4.0 Setup the HDD mode
The EW7043 default HDD mode is JBOD
Available HDD modes
JBOD: Both drives are accessible as individual drives
SPAN: Both drives are combined as 1 big storage drive.
RAID0: Both drives are combined as 1 big storage drive similar to SPAN with the
difference the data is being split in 2 segments, segment 1 is stored on HDD1
segment 2 is stored on HDD2. This results in a higher bandwidth.
Note! When you intend on using RAID0 and 1 of your hard disks fail to work your data
will no longer be available so DO NOT use this setup for important data only use this
setup to increase the bandwidth.
RAID1: HDD 1 is cloned (mirrored) simultaneously to HDD2 providing a clone of
your HDD. This way when 1 of the 2 drives fail you still have your data secured on
the other drive. When replacing the failed HDD with a HDD with the same capacity
the data will again be cloned (mirrored) to the new HDD (cloning status is
indicated through the HDD LEDs flashing slowly, Cloning is ready when the
indicator LEDS stop flashing). If the capacity of the new HDD is not the same as
the current HDD the LED indicators will flash rapidly and data is not being cloned.
Note! When you intend on using hard disks with data already stored on the hard disks
the EW7043 will delete all data when you decide to change the HDD mode other than
JBOD. Please make sure you backup all the data on the hard disk before installing the
drives into the EW7043 enclosure.
