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. Connect the power adapter DIN connector into the side of the

enclosure and power up the enclosure.

Driver Installation

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista, Mac OS X, Linux

No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this

enclosure is natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.

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.

Number of

Drives DIP Switch Available RAID Modes

2RAID0 (Span), RAID0 (Stripe),

RAID1 (Mirror)

3 RAID3, RAID5

RAID0 (Span), RAID0 (Stripe),

RAID3, RAID5,

RAID10 (Stripe+Mirror)

RAID Mode

While the enclosure is powered on, press and hold the ‘Mode’ button

for three (3) seconds until one of the RAID LED’s start to ﬂash.

Pressing the ‘Mode’ button will now switch between available RAID

modes. Once set, press the ‘Conﬁrmation’ button in the back of the

enclosure. The enclosure will power off. Once powered back on, it will

be set for the desired RAID mode.

LED Status Description

ON SPAN: Spanning concatenates multiple hard

drives into a single large disk. Provides no

performance or redundancy beneﬁts.

OFF

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.

OFF

ON RAID 1 (Mirror): Mirroring writes the same data

across multiple disk, creating a mirror copy. This

provides redundancy in case one drive fails.

OFF

RAID 3: Uses striping to write data to multiple

disks like RAID 0, but reserves one disk for

parity. The single parity disk is a bottle-neck for

writing since every write requires updating the

parity data. Failure of any one disk will still allow

access to the data, until the disk is replaced.

OFF

ON RAID 5: Uses striping to write data to multiple

disks simultaneously and distribute parity

across multiple disks. Failure of any one disk

will still allow access to the data, until the disk is

replaced.

OFF

ON RAID 01 (0+1): Creates a mirrored array, then

stripes each mirrored disk. Combines the

performance of RAID 0 with the redundancy of

RAID 1.
