Hard Drive installation

To ensure a quick and easy device installation, please read through this section carefully

before attempting to install the device.

WARNING! Hard drives, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged by static

electricity.

1. To remove the drive tray(s) from the enclosure: Turn the locking dial to the OPEN

position (counter-clockwise). Following this, press on the button to open the locking

arm:

2. Once the locking arm is open, pull the hard drive tray out of the enclosure.

3. Place the hard drive you wish to install in the tray (label side up), aligning the

mounting holes located on the bottom of the drive with the mounting holes located on

the bottom of the tray.

4. Fasten the drive to the tray using the provided screws.

5. Insert the drive tray (containing the hard drive) into the slot made available in step 2.

Close the locking arm, until you hear a click.

6. Optional: To secure the drive tray in the enclosure, turn the locking dial to the LOCK

position (clockwise).

7. To add a second drive, follow steps 1-6, using the remaining (empty) drive tray.

Connecting the drive enclosure to a computer

ESATCASE2

Note: Please do not connect SATCASE2U2R to the host computer, until initial RAID

configuration is complete. For further instructions, please refer to SATCASE2U2R -

Setting up the RAID function.

To connect the drive enclosure to a host computer, connect one end of an eSATA cable,

to the eSATA port located on the rear panel of the drive enclosure. Connect the

remaining end of the eSATA cable to an available eSATA port on your host computer.

SATCASE2U2

To connect the drive enclosure to a host computer, insert the USB Type ‘B’ connector into

the port provided on the rear panel of the enclosure. Connect the remaining end of the

USB cable to an available USB port on your host computer.

Connecting the drive enclosure to a power source

1. The included power supply is comprised of two components. Connect the two

components, by inserting the female power plug into the main adapter.

2. Insert the male power plug into an available power receptacle.

3. Insert the remaining 7-pin, 5V/12V power connector to the power port, on the rear

panel of the enclosure.

Using the newly installed drive(s)

Once the drives have been installed in the enclosure, and the enclosure is connected to

a host computer, power the individual drives by pressing the power switch for the drive

you wish to access. This will enable the computer to use the drive, as though it were

installed directly in the computer. When the drive is powered, the POWER LED will

illuminate.

To shut down power to the drive, simply press and release the power button. Upon doing

so, the power LED will no longer be illuminated.

SATCASE2U2R

Setting up the RAID function

Once the drives have been suitably mounted in the enclosure and have been powered

on, automatic RAID configuration will begin based on the dip switch settings on the rear

panel. Note: Please power on the RAID enclosure, prior to connecting to the host

computer, to ensure that RAID has been built before connecting.

The following chart illustrates available dip switch combinations, and the resulting RAID

functions:

Once the RAID configuration has completed, connect the enclosure to the host computer

in order to format the RAID built drives. Once the drives have been formatted, they are

ready for use.

Strip On Off

Span Off On

Single On On

Single Off Off

Single mode (JBOD)

To configure the installed drives as Single drives, please ensure that both dip switches

are set to either the ON or OFF position (Factory default).

To format the drives:

1. Right-click on My Computer, and left-click on Manage.

2. Double-click on Storage, then double-click on Disk Management to view the attached

drives, which will appear as follows. Right-click on each drive, and format accordingly:

Removing installed drives from the enclosure

Please note: Removing a hard drive from the enclosure while the drive is busy, can

result in lost data. To remove one of the drives, please open the Safely Remove

Hardware icon located in the taskbar, which will launch the following screen. Highlight

the drive you wish to remove, and click on the Stop button:

Instruction Manual

Once the drive has been stopped:

1. Turn the locking dial covering the drive you wish to remove, to the OPEN position.

2. Press the lock button until the locking arm swings open.

3. Gently pull the drive out of the enclosure.

Striping (Strip) Mode

Warning: Please backup any original data prior to building your RAID configuration, as

all data wil be lost due to format.

To configure your drives for RAID 0, please set the dip switches accordingly, based on

the chart on page 5. Turn on the enclosure for the RAID to automatically be built.

Once the RAID has been built, turn off both disks using the main power button on the

enclosure. Once the drives have been powered down, connect the enclosure to the host

computer using the USB cable provided. Following connection, restore power to the

enclosure and format the drives,

1. Right-click on My Computer

2. Left-click on Manage.

3. Double-click on Storage, then double-click on Disk Management to view the attached

drives, which will appear as follows. Right-click on each drive, and format accordingly:

RAID 0 rebuilds both hard drives into a single, double-sized drive. With this type of RAID

configuration, if one drive fails, the entire RAID build will crash. However, as data storage

is spread over both hard disks, performance is much faster than on a standard, single

disk configuration.

Please note: For optimum performance, it is strongly recommended that two identical

hard drives are used. If the two drives are not the same size, RAID can only be built to a

Instruction Manual

Note: RAID has been

configured to include both

drives as a single drive.

Please remove any

existing partitions.
