4. Remove the cardboard inserts (if rst time setup) and then insert the hard drives
into the slots. If installing less than 4 drives, ensure a drive is installed in the bottom
slot. This will help when reinstalling the metal cage. Hard drives can be removed
from the enclosure by pressing down on the handles, then pulling them out.
5. Once all of the hard drives are installed, reinstall the metal cage and front door.
Make sure the bottom of the cage stays inside of the track before closing the cover.

How to Use
Hard Drive DIP Switch
The DIP switches on the rear of the hard drive enclosure rst needs to be set,
depending on the number of installed hard drives in the enclosure. The number of
hard drives aects the available RAID modes that can be selected.
Number of
Drives DIP Switch Available RAID Modes
2RAID0 (Span), RAID0 (Stripe), RAID1
(Mirror)
3 RAID3, RAID5
4
RAID0 (Span), RAID0 (Stripe), RAID3,
RAID5,
RAID10 (Stripe+Mirror)
RAID Mode
While the enclosure is powered on, press and hold the ‘Mode’ button for three (3)
seconds until one of the RAID LED’s start to ash. Pressing the ‘Mode’ button will now

LED Status Description
ON SPAN: Spanning concatenates multiple hard drives
into a single large disk. Provides no performance or
redundancy benets.
OFF
ON RAID 0 (Stripe): Striping combines multiple disk into
a single large disk array. The data is split evenly across
each disk simultaneously. Read/write performance
is increased as a result, but failure of any one disk will
make the entire array unusable.
OFF
ON RAID 1 (Mirror): Mirroring writes the same data across
multiple disk, creating a mirror copy. This provides
redundancy in case one drive fails.
OFF
ON RAID 3: Uses striping to write data to multiple disks
like RAID 0, but reserves one disk for parity. The single
parity disk is a bottle-neck for writing since every write
requires updating the parity data. Failure of any one
disk will still allow access to the data, until the disk is
replaced.
OFF
ON RAID 5: Uses striping to write data to multiple disks
simultaneously and distribute parity across multiple
disks. Failure of any one disk will still allow access to the
data, until the disk is replaced.
OFF
ON RAID 01 (0+1): Creates a mirrored array, then stripes
each mirrored disk. Combines the performance of RAID
0 with the redundancy of RAID 1.
