Starting Up
The KISS-Stor 1 is delivered with installed firmware and installed RAID level 1.
The KISS-Stor 1 is designed to be installed into a computer system.
The mirroring starts automatically once the computer with installed KISS-Stor 1, is
powered-up. The system will detect the presence of
KISS-Stor 1 RAID subsystem. The first step performed by the KISS-Stor 1 is to
check the status of the installed SATA hard drives.
When you lock the drives, the first drive to get locked is
designated as the source drive and the other drive becomes the
target drive.
Please observe the next subsections.
Prerequisite
The KISS-Stor 1 Raid subsystem must be installed in a workable computer as
described in the “Installing the KISS-Stor 1“ chapter.
Two SATA hard disks (not included) must be installed into the KISS-Stor 1
corresponding to the description in the “SATA Drive Physical Installation
Procedure” and “Drives Cage Physical Assembling Procedure” chapter.
Create a RAID 1 Array
Follow these steps in order create a RAID 1 array (depending on the installed
hard disks into your KISS-Stor 1) on your system:
Create the Array with two new Disk Drives (Identical or non-Identical)
1. Lock both drive carriers before attaching the system to a power source.
2. Attach the computer to a corresponding power source.
3. Power-up the system.
If the installed drives have different capacity, the controller will
identify the smaller disk as source automatically.
