Chapter 7 Questions & Answers

Q1: Why is the computer system unable to reboot or

re-configure after SR2000 is installed?

A:1. SR2000 supports IDE I/O interface. However, it is

not compatible with motherboards building the ITE
IT8680F-A chip. Replace it with another I/O chip
compatible with the SR2000.

2. Check if IDE bus connector is connected properly.
3. Check if Operation Mode Switch is set to NORMAL

position on the control panel for copy mode.

Q2: What happens if power is shut down while the

SR2000 is running?

A:1. In case of power failure during the Auto-Rebuild

Function, controller will remember the rebuilding
progress percentage and carry on the operations
when the power is restored.

2. In case of power failure during BACK UP, copied

data will be incomplete and you will have to restart
BACK UP when power is restored.

Q3: What is the configuration for SR2000 (with 1 or 2

hard disks) when one HDD is already installed?

A:1. On the same IDE buses, set the jumper for SR2000 to

MASTER and the original disk to SLAVE.
Otherwise, the original HDD cannot be detected.

2. On different IDE buses, set MASTER or SLAVE for

SR2000 and original HDD respectively.

Q4: When using the SR2000, the computer system is

unable to read/write properly.

A:1. Check if IDE bus connector is inserted properly.

2. Check if IDE bus length is 46cm or 18”.

(Compliant to ATA 4 specification.)
