Hard Drive Installation2.
WARNING! If you are installing drives to be used in RAID 1 (Mirroring)
Mode with a drive that already contains data, that drive must always be
installed first.
NOTE: If you are configuring SAT3520U2R for RAID applications
(Mirroring Mode, Striping Mode or Spanning Mode), the installed hard
drives must be identical in brand, size and model number.

Unfasten the two screws on either1.
side of the internal drive holder
case, and pull backward to release
and remove the drive tray from the
enclosure.
Non-RAID (Single Mode) or RAID 0 Configurations:
Insert both hard drives into the drive1.
tray, and secure them with screws
(provided). Insert the drive tray (with
both drives installed) back into the
enclosure.
Push the drive tray forward in the2.
enclosure, securing the connection. Once
the tray is firmly connected, fasten the
screws on the holder. Replace the top panel
of the enclosure, and fasten the screws at the
bottom.
RAID 1 Mirror Mode
Insert the primary (containing data to1.
be mirrored) drive into the drive tray,
and fasten it to the tray with the screws
provided.

Insert the drive tray back into the enclosure,2.
ensuring the tray is secured using the
connectors.
Once secure, power on the enclosure.3.
SAT3520U2R will recognize the drive as the master drive, and4.
prepare it for mirroring. Once complete, the error light indicator of the
second drive will illuminate (denoted as HDD2 Error).
When this occurs, power off the enclosure, and remove the drive tray5.
from the enclosure.
Insert the second drive (containing no data)6.
into the drive tray, and fasten it to the tray
with the screws provided.

tray to the enclosure using the screws removed earlier.
Place the cover back on the enclosure, and replace the screws8.
removed earlier.
Power on the enclosure.9.
SAT3520U2R will indicate that the Rebuild function is under way10.
(the corresponding light will display activity), as the data from Drive
1 is mirrored onto Drive 2, and RAID 1 is configured on the drives.
NOTE: that the Mirroring process may take several minutes to several
hours, depending on the amount of data being mirrored.
WARNING! Please do NOT power off the enclosure, until the HDD2
Error LED is no longer illuminated.

Driver Installation
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, Mac OS X, Linux
No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as
this drive enclosure is natively supported, so the drivers are already
installed.
How to Use
Operating Modes
Single Mode (Non-RAID)
In Single Mode, the installed drives will appear individually as two
independent drives. This function can be used if only one hard drive is
installed, or two different brands or capacities of drive are being used.
RAID 0 - Spanning Mode
In Spanning Mode, two hard drives will appear as a single, large drive.
Spanning is an array that is written sequentially across two drives.
RAID 0 - Striping Mode
Striping combines multiple hard drives into a single large disk array.
The data is split evenly across both drives simultaneously. Read/write
performance is increased as a result, but failure of any one disk will
make the entire array unusable.
