RTX400-SV™

USER’S MANUAL

Revised January 24, 2008

Features

•TrayFree™ technology! RTX400-SV can be used without the use of

trays. Simply slip in a SATA drive and shut the door. Each bay

features a lock for added security, and shock-absorption for longer

drive life.

•RTX400H-SV now comes with all-metal bays and 2 LEDs for power

and access.

•Connects through fast eSATA (up to

3.0Gbps). Port-multiplying technology

allows you to connect the RTX400-SV to

your computer through a single cable.

This means less clutter on your desktop.

•Its attractive design takes up little desktop space, occupying a tiny

footprint for so much storage capability (up to 4 Terabytes)

•Sturdy aluminum case provides excellent heat dissipation and rugged

durability

•Heavy-duty handle allowing for easy transport

Hardware Setup

1. Install a SATA2 host card into an empty PCI slot inside your computer (optional). If your

computer already has a fully SATA2-compliant host with the Port Multiplying feature, you can skip this

step. Compatible cards are available from WiebeTech. The following general steps will work for most

cards. Instructions for individual cards may vary, so consult your host card’s user manual.

a) Some cards have jumpers that must be configured in order for the card to work in certain

expansion slots. If this applies to your card, set the jumpers according to the chart in the card’s

user manual. It might also be printed on the card itself.

b) Power down the computer system.

c) Insert the card into a compatible expansion slot. Do not force it, but it

will take firm pressure to insert it.

d) Make sure the card is fully seated in the slot. Secure with a screw.

e) Turn the computer back on.

f) Install the appropriate drivers for the card.

2. Install your hard drive by pulling on the ejection handle and opening the door. Then just slide

in your SATA drive and shut the door behind it. For extra security for your hard drive you can lock the

bay, but make sure to unlock it before pulling on the ejection handle again.

3. Plug in the eSATA cable and power cord. The RTX400-SV connects to your computer through

eSATA, an external application of Serial-ATA technology. One end of the cable connects to the back of

the unit. Insert the other end into an eSATA port on the computer.

Your RTX400-SV is now ready to use! Turn on the power switch on the back of the unit. If your drives

are already formatted, you can begin using them right away. New hard drives will need to be formatted

before they can be used. Initially, each drive is seen as a separate drive by the computer. If you wish,

you may format each drive into a separate volume and use them individually. If you have software for

creating a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), you may combine the drives into a single

volume for faster performance and/or data redundancy. Some operating systems, such as OS X, have

this software built in.

Usage with Macintosh computers

Mounting and Ejecting Volumes

When you connect the unit to the Mac for the first time and turn on the power,

you’ll probably see a message saying that the disk is unreadable. This is

because you must format the volume before using it. The easiest way to do

this is to use Mac OS X’s Disk Utility. If you plan to use the unit on both Macs

and PCs, select “MS DOS File System” as the format type. If you only plan to

use the unit on Macs, then select “Mac OS Extended”. After the volume is

formatted, an icon representing the drive volume will appear (“mount”) on the

desktop. You can now use the volume just like an internal hard drive.

Eject the volume before powering down the unit by dragging the volume’s icon to the trash bin, or by

selecting the volume then pressing Command-E. Shutting down the unit without first ejecting the volume

can result in data loss.

Booting to the RTX400-SV

Your ability to boot to the RTX400-SV depends upon whether or not the eSATA host to which it is

connected supports this feature. Many eSATA hosts do not support booting

Usage with Windows computers

Formatting Volumes

Before you can use your RTX400-SV, you must first format the drives into a volume. Use Disk

Management, which you can find by right-clicking on My Computer then selecting Manage. Select NTFS

for the format type. If you wish to format FAT-32 for cross-platform compatibility, you will need to use a

third-party utility to do so. Windows XP will not create FAT-32 volumes larger than 32GB.

After the volume is formatted, an icon representing the drive volume will appear in My Computer. You

can now use the volume just like an internal hard drive.

Ejecting Volumes

Unlike external storage devices that connect via FireWire or USB, eSATA devices cannot usually be

ejected. It is possible to disable the device using Device Manager. Whether or not you choose to disable

the device in this way, always make sure the drives are not being accessed before shutting off

theRTX400-SV. If the unit is turned off in the middle of a data input/output process, data loss may result.

Warnings and Notices

•The RTX400-SV supports drives of various specifications and different capacities. However, we

recommend using drives of the same brand and type for optimal performance. If drives of different

capacities are used, the unit will consider both drives to have the same capacity as the smaller

drive.

•Use only hard drives that are in perfect condition. Avoid using drives that have ever developed

bad sectors during previous usage. This could lead to possible device failure or loss of data.

•If you create a software RAID 0, do not attempt to hot swap trays. Drives must be kept together in

a RAID 0, or data loss will result.
