IV. Hardware Installation
2
1. Push switch on the handle toward the right to open the door 2. Put SATA HDD into enclosure (HDD’s SATA connector toward the inside of the product) 3. Close the door, handle will be locked automatically 4. HDD installation finished
3
V. Hardware setup and under WIN XP/VISTA/7/8 use : There have mode which in the rear back of the product, it can form 4 kinds of different ways through mode switch, it can realize 4 kinds of different functions as below :
RAID1
RAID0
JBOD
2LUN
1. JBOD function Mode Pleasee move Mode Selective Switch till the position that just under JBOD mark. Connect power supply with product properly(Not Allowed to connect USB3.0 Cable at the same time)Hold Reset button, And power on product, After holding button with cotinuous 5 seconds, Product will switch to JBOD, Connect USB 3.0 cable, Product will work well under JBOD mode. The JBOD storage policy concatenates a series of physical hard drives as a single large volume ; resulting in a seamless expansion or virtual volumes beyond the physical limitations of singurlarly connected hard drives. Hard drive A and B are concatenated into a single virtual volume in the Figure below with a storage capacituy that is equal to the sum of each of the physical hard drives A and B.

Virtual JBOD volume
Port 0
Drive A
Capacity is Drive A plus Drive B Port 1
Drive B
Connect the USB cable to PC and enclosure USB host, then open the power Select[Start]-[My Computer]-[Manager] as below :
In the left window, select [System Tools] – [Device Manager] as below :
5
The two External hard disk oicon will appear at the window under the system hard disk icon
Right click the two icon of the two external hard disk, delete all disk partition, make this two disk become one JBOD disk.
6
Display one disk and others system disk capacity as below :
Right click the new hard disk icon, make based new partition display as below :
7
Next new partition wizard :
A window will disappear and ask to select partition type [primary partition] or [Extended partition] as below.
8
Select [Extended partition] to continue
Display the hard disk partition size, click [Next] to continue
9
Next completing the new partition wizard.
Click « finish » Extended partition finished.
10
Now we need to make it to new local drive, follow the step as below :
Next New Partition wizard, local drive will build.
11
Next setup local drive size, no more than extended partition size. We select 800 000 Mo.
Next assign the following drive letter "J :"
12
Next format this partition with the following settings. Select perform a quick forma assign "V"
Next display finish as below :
13
Click "finish", began to formatting your Disk size.
Complete formatted this disk size display as below :
You can continue partition and format the other disk
14
When finish this step, a new total disk will display at the right window as below :
2. 2LUN Function Mode Please move Mode Selective Swich till the position that just under 2LUN mark. Connect power supply with product properly (Not allowed to connect USB3.0 Cable at the same time), Hold RESET button, And power on product, After holding button with continuous 5 seconds, P{roduct will switch to 2LUN, Connect USB 3.0 cable, Product will work well under 2LUN mode The 2LUN(just a bunch of disks) storage policy enables each hard drive to be seen separately as one drive
Port0
Drive A
Port1
Drive B
15
Power on the enclosure, then this two HDD icon will be display in the [Disk Manager] window as below.
Repeat the same step [Delete Partition]—[New Partition]—[New Logical Drive] to this two disk.
16
When finish this Step, the two disk will show [Healthy] at the [Disk Manager] window as below, now y ou can use it.
3. RAID0 Function Mode. Please move Mode Selective Switch till the position that just under RAID0 mark. Connect power supply with product properly (Not allowed to connect USB3.0 Cable at the same time), Hold RESET button, and power on product, After holding button with continuous 5 seconds Product will switch to RAID0, Connect USB3.0 cable, Product will work well under RAID0 mode The Raid0 storage policy distributes access across all hard disk, also called striping (equivalent to RAID0). RAID0 presents the best data speed but no data redundancy. RAID0 storage policy accelerates hard disk operating speed by using many disks in parallel. Hard drive data segments are written to different disks simultaneously which increases performance while sacrificing data dredundancy. To implement the RAID0 storage policy, the storage processor creates a single virtual volume that is striped across both hard drives, with a storage capacity that is equal to the sum of both hard disk drives. It is possible to set any node wiin a cascaded configuration to RAID0 although there is no performance benefit when using multiple layers of striping
17
Capacity is Drive A plus Drive B Port0
Drive A
Port1
Drive B
Striping across disks Under RAID0 mode, it will display 2x HDD capacity, if two HDD capacity are 120GB, so it show 240GB ;if one HDD capacity is 120GB, and other is 500GB, it will show 120x2=240GB Power on the enclosure, then on disk icon will be display in the [Disk Manager] window as below.
18
Right Click the Disk1 icon, run the same process : [Delete Partition]-[New Partition]-[New Logical Disk]. When finish this step, the disk1 will show [Healthy] at the [Disk Manager] window as below, now you can use it.
4. Raid1 Function MOde Please move Mode Selective Switch till the position that just under RAID1 mark. Connect power supply with product properly (Not allowed to connect USB3.0 Cable at the same time), Hold RESET button, And power on product, after holding button with continuous 5 seconds, Product will switch to RAID1, connect USB3.0 cable, product will work well under RAID1 mode. The Raid1 storage policy stores all data in duplicate on seperate drives to protect against data loss due to drive failure. One drive mirrors the other at all times, equivalent to RAID1. Every write operation goes to both drives. RAID1 provides the highest level of data protection for critical data that you cannot afford to lose if a hard drive fails, but halfves the amount of storage capacity because all data must be stored twice. The resulting storage capcity of the virtual RAID`1 volume will be equivalent to the size of one hard drive (if both drives are the same) or the smaller of the two drives( if they are different) 19
If one drive fails, the RAID1 volume is still usable, but is in a vulnerable state because its mirrored hard drive is inaccessible. When the offline drive comes back online, the appliance begins a brebuild process immediately to restore data redundancy. Virtual Raid1 volume
120 Go
Port0
Drive A 120 GB
Capacity is the same aas one hard drive. Port1
Drive B 120G GB
Equal hard drive
120 Go Port0
Drive A 120 GB
Capacity is the smaller of unequal hard drive Port1
Drive B 500 GB
Unequal hard drives
Although the volume remains available during the rebuild process, the volume is susceptible to data loss through damange to the remaining drive until redundancy is restored at the end of the brebuild and verification process. Host access takes precedence over the rebuild process. If you continue to use the SAFE volume during the rebuild, the rebuild process will take a longer time to complete, and the host data transfer performance will also be affected. Any nod within a cascaded configuration can be set to RAID1, but it is more efficient to use the RAID1 policy at the lowest possible level within the hierarchy. It is also possible to create a RAID1 volume using one hard disk drive connnected to port0 of the storage reference design, although no mirroring will occur until a second hard disk hdrive is connected to port1. wWith only one hard disk drive connected, the RAID1 volume will be available, although no data protection will be provided until a second hard disk drive is connected.
