Begin drive installation by
setting your hard drive into
the chassis, towards the front
of the chassis and slide the
drive onto the black connec-
tor on the green logic board.
(Versions with eSATA ONLY)
Connect one of the multi-
colored power cables to the
hard drive you are installing in the lower drive position, and connect
one of the red SATA cables to the hard drive you are installing in the

position shown below.
(Versions with eSATA ONLY)

RAID settings - Oxford 934 (Triple Interface) model
MODE SW#1 SW#2 SW#3
INDEPENDENT OFF OFF not used
JBOD OFF ON OFF
RAID 0 ON OFF OFF
To change the RAID settings on your Oxford 934 (Triple Interface) enclo-
sure, there are jumpers located on the bridge board inside the enclo-
sure that need to be adjusted. To do so, you can access the switches
simply by removing the exhaust fan on the back of the enclosure.
INDEPENDENT - Each hard drive will appear as a separate volume
JBOD (SPAN) - 2 hard drives will be combined into one large contigu-
ous volume equal to the total of both drive capacities. Data is read and
written to one drive at a time, this is the safest (but slower) method to
use for large capacity.
RAID 0 (STRIPE) - 2 hard drives will be combined into one large contig-
uous volume equal to the total of both drive capacities. Data is read and
written to both drives , this is the faster (but less safe) method to use for
large capacity.

Secure the 2 hard drives into the chassis by inserting the 8 Phillips
screws (4 each side) through the black rubber anti-vibration grommets,
and into the hard drives. You may have to lift up a bit on the drives to
get them into position. Firmly tighten the 8 screws to secure your hard
drives into the chassis.
Slide the assembled chassis back into the enclosure from the front to
the rear.
