Always place the RAID System on a smooth surface and avoid all
dramatic movement, vibration and percussion.
♦Do NOT allow water to enter the RAID System.
♦Installation of additional equipment in the host computer may be required.
Visit our website to download the latest product information updates.
♦Do NOT attempt to service this unit yourself. Opening or removing the
back cover will expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards.
♦Do NOT block the front and rear ventilation. Proper airflow is required to
ensure reliable operation and to prevent overheating.

INSTALLING/REPLACING THE HARD DRIVES IN THE RAID
SYSTEM
When the HDD is not installed, simply slide the tray out of the drive bay without
using the lever and be cautious when lifting the RAID System with the trays
inside. When the HDD is installed, after lifting the level, the tray should easily be
released from the drive bay.
1. Lift the quick HDD release lever to release the selected HDD tray from the
desired drive bay.
2. Slide the HDD tray out of the drive bay.

10
Due to the design tolerance of the SATA HDD connector, however, the
HDD tray may not always be released from the drive bay easily, or may not be
released at all. If this occurs, carefully slide the HDD tray out of the drive bay
after lifting the quick HDD release lever.
3. When removed, the HDD tray appears as shown below.
4. Carefully slide the HDD into the drive tray.
