Functions

and

Features

The XtendLan disk array XL-RAID-SATA provides both RAID 1 and

RAID 0 functions with its independent disk array microprocessor chips.

It is considered as the best choice for storage expansion and instant

online backup.

 No hardware driver needed and applicable to all operating

systems

XL-RAID-SATA is equipped with the standard SATA

Type 1 and ATA133 connection interfaces. The XL-RAID-

SATA system not only possesses high transfer rate but also

does not require specific system drivers. Therefore, it can

be simply applied to any computer system without any

concerns about incompatibility.

 Supports both SATA and E_IDE hard drive

XL-RAID-SATA comes with removable hard drive

carrier that is compatible with these two types of enclosure

module. It can be applied to hard drives with E_IDE interface

or to the SATA hard drives.

 Hot Swappable Drive

Under the mirroring mode (RAID 1), when one hard drive is

damaged, XtendLan allows the system to switch hard drive

without pausing the system operations.

 Auto Data Rebuilding

Under the mirroring mode (RAID 1), XL-RAID-SATA will treat

one hard drive as the source hard drive and the other as the

target hard drive. Therefore, it does not require any specific

command or system interruption to rebuild the hard drive while

the computer system is still running.

 Hard Drive Backup

Under the mirroring mode (RAID 1), XtendLan can serve as

hard drive backup. It can also be used as system backup or

off-line data backup to avoid any virus attack.

 LCD Display Screen

The LCD display screen will allow users to monitor and to

maintain the system operations.

 System Failure Buzzer

When system failure occurs, XtendLan will not only display the

damage status on the LCD display screen but will also generate

system alarm as well. The XtendLan system also utilizes

Windows version graphic user interface monitoring software

which will allow remote maintenance via internet. XtendLan

will notify system maintenance technicians once malfunction is

detected for immediate repair services.

 Aluminum Alloy Frame

The aluminum alloy frame gives strong and durable structure

and serves as the best heat sink.

Operation

Requirement

and

Caution

1. XL-RAID-SATA’s brilliant design allows the user to

simultaneously utilize two hard drives manufactured by

different companies. However, if the user expects better

efficiency, we strongly recommend the users to use hard

drives manufactured by the same manufacturers.

2. Please carefully select the mode of disk array (RAID 0 or RAID

1) prior to usage. Unless high transfer rate and large storage

capacity is needed, otherwise, please use the manufacturer’s

default mirror setting (RAID 1). Changing the disk array mode

after the system setting is completed will result in complete loss

and damage to the stored data.

3. Since the system uses more stringent factors to determine the

disk corruption in the hard drive, please use noncorrupted hard

drive with minimum storage capacity of 20 GB.

4. Please set the first and second hard drive (IDE drives) in XL-

RAID-SATA

to MASTER or Single Drive mode. Otherwise, the system will

not be able to detect the hard drives.

5. The SATA and E_IDE interfaces can not be used simultaneously.

If the system detects the E_IDE interface, the system will prefer

to use the E_IDE interface.

6. The XL-RAID-SATA had undergone strict hard drive

compatibility test. The result shows that it is compatible with

most hard drives on the market such as Maxtor, Western

Digital, Seagate, Fujitsu, Hitachi, and etc. However, due to the

new types of hard drives appearing on the market, if your

hard drive is not compatible with the system, please contact

us at www.xtendlan.com or download the latest firmware

updates.

The XL-RAID-SATA is equipped with a 5.2 cm ball bearing

cooling fan that will provide effective cooling for the 7200 rpm hard

drive. We highly recommend using computer chassis with effective

cooling design to avoid disk array crashing due to ineffective

cooling.
