Installation
WARNING: Hard drives 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.
Hardware Installation
1. Make sure the power switch on the enclosure is set to OFF and the power adapter is
unplugged from the enclosure.
2. Unlock the drive bay doors by turning the twist lock clockwise with the provided keys.
3. Open the drive bay doors by pulling on the metal door latch forward.
4. Slide a bare 2.5”SATA hard drive into the drive bay and close the door behind it, making sure
it latches properly.
5. Lock the drive bay doors by turning the twist lock counter-clockwise with the provided keys.
6. Set the enclosure to the proper RAID mode via the selection switch on the rear.
7. Connect the power adapter from an electrical outlet to the enclosure.
8. Power on the enclosure by setting the power switch to ON.
9. Press the “Reset” button on the rear of the enclosure to ensure the proper RAID mode
becomes set.
10. Connect the enclosure to the computer via eSATA or USB, not both.
11. To remove drives from the enclosure, rst make sure that the disk volume is unmounted
within the operating system (see documentation for your operating system or host
controller) or the computer is o.
12. Turn the enclosure o by switch the power switch to OFF.
13. Unlock the drive bay door with the provided keys and open by pulling the metal latch
forward.
Driver Installation
No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this enclosure is natively
supported, so the drivers are already installed.
Instruction Manual 4
How to Congure
Operating Modes
Mode Description
RAID 0
(Striping)
Striping combines multiple disks 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.
RAID 1
(Mirror)
Mirroring writes the same data across multiple disks, creating
exact mirror copies. This provides redundancy in case one drive
fails.
JBOD
(Single)
JBOD enables each hard drive to be seen as separate
independent drives. If only a single hard drive is installed,
ensure this mode is enabled.
NOTE: When using eSATA, this mode should only be used if the
eSATA host controller provides Port Multiplier (PM) support. If a
host is not PM-aware, only a single drive will be visible. No such
limitation exists if using the USB connection.
BIG
(Concat)
BIG concatenates multiple hard drives into a single large disk.
Provides no performance or redundancy benets.
Instruction Manual 5
Using the Storage Device
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data, then you will rst
need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer”
(“Computer” in Vista/7), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select
Disk Management from the left window panel.
Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity to conrm it’s the correct
hard drive) and then right-click in the section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.
Instruction Manual 6
The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the wizard to complete setting
up the drive. Once complete, the Disk should show up as “Healthy” with a drive letter assigned
(i.e. E:). This drive letter should now appear within My Computer.
If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after plugging it in, the drive
should automatically show up with a drive letter assigned within My Computer.
