2. Set RAID mode

Attention：

Before changing the RAID mode, please back up the data on the hard drive. Once the

RAID mode is changed, all data on the hard drive will be erased.

6.Software RAID setup

• Insert the Software CD into your ROM drive.

• In Windows explorer, locate the CD drive and open the windows folder.

• Double click on the setup file to begin the installation。

• After the program startup screen appears (see the figure below), click ‘Install’, and the

program will begin to install.

• The following screen will appear after installation. Click "Start Application Now" and

select "Finish" to run the program.

To Start the Application:

After the program is installed, there is a small icon in the task bar at the lower right corner

of Windows , which can be clicked to open; or when the product is connected to the

computer, the management program will automatically pop out. As shown in the figure

below, five hard disks are displayed in the software (displaying the inserted hard disks).

When the RAID Manager software is open, if the enclosure is plugged in, the program will

prompt the message as shown in the figure below.

When the RAID Manager software is open, if the enclosure is disconnected or removed, the

program will prompt the message as shown in the figure below.

Setting RAID Mode:

You can configure the RAID mode easily through the management software.

Click under "Basic Mode” When the icon enters the "Basic RAID Group Settings", the

following screen will appear . The left side is to configure RAID.

The program will automatically display the RAID mode that you can set according to the

number of hard disks installed. For example, when two hard disks are installed, RAID3,

RAID5, RAID10 will be greyed out.

To set up RAID mode, select the mode you need, press the "Apply" program at the bottom

right. A warning box will pop up. See the picture below. Please keep in mind, when you

change the RAID mode, be sure to back up your data as all the information on the hard drive

will be erased when the RAID mode is switched.

To continue, confirm ‘Yes’. The management program will automatically configure

the RAID mode you set.

When the RAID manager automatically completes the RAID creation, the following

screen will appear. The new mode is created.

Deleting RAID Mode:

When you do not need the RAID mode and need to restore four independent hard disks,

select “Delete All RAID Groups” and press “Apply”. The following warning box will

appear. Press “Yes” to continue and all RAID groups will be deleted.
When a hard disk in the RAID is damaged, the RAID degraded will be displayed in the

management interface.

You can replace a new hard disk with a capacity no less than the damaged hard disk, and

RAID will automatically restore data (only RAID1/3/5/10). You can see the progress of

data reconstruction as shown below.

Note: You can only select either Hardware RAID or Software RAID setup. Please do not set

both of them at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Won’t power ON

1. Please check whether the power supply is the 12V8A power supply provided with the

enclosure. Check if it is correctly inserted into the power interface and correctly connected to

the enclosure. Check if the indicator light of the power supply is on.

2. Pull out the bottom hard disk tray and look at the PCB board inside the enclosure to see if

there is a red or yellow light. A light indicates that there may be a problem with the power

supply. Please contact customer service for additional assistance.

RAID problem:

1. Cannot set the RAID mode manually

Please confirm whether the hard disk is brand new or has not been used in other RAID

setting. Check if the toggle switch is in the correct position. Is the power on after pressing the

RESET button for 15 seconds? Or please shut down and try again. Please use the enclosed CD

disk to install RAID Manager, and use management software to group RAID.

2. RAID automatic reconstruction and recovery function

If one of the hard disks fails, the power light will be red. Please turn off the power and

confirm that the capacity of new hard disk is GREATER than the capacity of old hard disk of

the RAID group (don’t remove other hard disks that have not failed). After replacing the new

hard disk, the power light and read/write light will flash at the same time, and the read/write

light and E/R signal light of other hard drives will also flash at the same time.

3. RAID automatic rebuild recovery failed

Check the recovery progress in the RAID management software. If you have been stuck at

a certain progress for more than half an hour, please unplug the newly inserted hard disk and

connect this hard disk to another computer for formatting. Then insert and try again. If it still
fails, replace the hard disk. Remember, you cannot pull out other undamaged hard drives in

the RAID group at will.

RAID rebuilding conditions and precautions:

1. RAID 3/5/10 mode cannot have more than two defective hard disks at the same time.

RAID 1 only allows one to be defective. If exceeded, the data cannot be recovered. Other

RAID modes do not support rebuilding.

2. Clone Mode, as long as one hard disk is intact, the files of this hard disk can be completely

cloned to the newly inserted hard disk.

3. When replacing the hard disk, please turn off the computer first. For example, if the hard

disk is pulled out while the computer is in the RAID group, the data may be damaged or the

recovered data may be incomplete and unusable.

4. The new hard disk must be greater than or equal to the smallest capacity of the hard disks

in the original RAID5. Cannot replace with hard disks that have already have RAID setting.

5. After replacing the hard disk and powering on, you need to wait a few minutes for the

system to start the rebuilding process. During this wait period, if any hard disk is unplugged,

the RAID information of the original RAID group will be damaged. Once the RAID

information is damaged, the rebuilding process cannot be started again and all data will be

damaged.
