Changing Modes

1. Disassemble the enclosure so you can access the internal jumper and reset button

on the drive bay cage.

2. Set the jumper to the desired mode.
3. Power on the enclosure and press the reset button.

Rebuild Mode

In RAID1 mode, if one of the drives fails the HDD LED will not light up. Replacing the

drive, will cause the enclosure to automatically enter rebuild mode when connected to

a host computer. The HDD LEDs will flash at different rates to indicate that the RAID1

array is being rebuilt. Depending on the size of the drives, this may take several hours

to a full day or more.

Using the Storage Device

Windows XP/Vista/7/8

If you are using brand new hard drives that do not contain any data, or after changing

between RAID Modes, then you will first need to prepare the hard drive for use before

you can write data to them. From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer”

(“Computer” in Vista/7/8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management

window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.
