6.2 Hot Swapping Encrypted Hard Drives
Hot swapping of hard drives is supported by the RTX Secure as a
default feature. Make sure the correct Security Key is installed when
hot swapping an encrypted hard drive. If the Security Key is not
installed or an incorrect Security Key is detected, the bay will not
power up and the bay’s Encryption Status LED will flash orange.
6.3 Recovering from a Failed RAID
If one hard drive of a RAID set with data redundancy has failed
or has been unplugged or removed, then the status of the RAID
Group will report that the RAID is degraded and the RTX Secure will
automatically search for a spare disk to rebuild the RAID. The RTX
Secure will first search for a dedicated spare disk, then a global spare
disk, and finally, if neither is found, it will wait for the user to remove
the failed hard drive and insert a working replacement.
The Security Key must be present when any failed drives are
replaced. If the Security Key is not installed or an incorrect Security
Key is detected, the bay will not power up and the bay’s Encryption
Status LED will flash orange, preventing the RAID from rebuilding.
7 Network Configuration
7.1 Connecting the RTX Secure to Your Network or
Computer
a. Plug an Ethernet cable into the “Config GUI” port on the rear of the
RTX Secure.
b. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your network.
This usually means plugging it into a router or hub. In an office
environment, you may have a network jack built into your office
wall. If a network connection is not available, you can connect the
Ethernet cable directly to an RJ45 (Ethernet) port on your computer.
c. Connect the power cable to the rear of the RTX Secure and to a
grounded electrical outlet.
d. Turn on the RTX Secure’s power using the switch on the rear
panel.
7.2 Using the LCD to Configure the Config GUI Port
RTX has both an LCD interface and a GUI. The LCD interface has only
basic functionality and is mainly used to configure the IP address of
the Config GUI port. Once the Config GUI has been configured, the
GUI can be used to fully configure the RTX Secure.
7.2.1 Navigating the LCD menu
Use the four function keys, ▲(Up), ▼(Down), ESC (Escape) and
ENT (Enter) to manipulate the LCD interface. After pressing ENT
(Enter) key, you can use the ▲(Up) and ▼(Down) keys to select a
function. If there is an alarm or error message, the LCD will display
the related information.
7.2.2 LCD Functions
System Info Displays the details of RAM and firmware.
Alarm Mute Turns off the alarm sound when an error occurs.
Reset/Shutdown Resets or shuts down the controller.
Quick Install To use “Quick Install” to set up a volume by three steps.
CRU-DataPort does not recommend using the Quick
Install option to set up your RTX Secure. For quick set-
up of a RAID, refer to Section 8.6.1.
Volume Wizard Smart steps to create a volume. Please refer to Section
8.6.1 for detailed operation steps in the web GUI.
View IP Setting Display the current IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway.
Change IP Config Sets the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. You can
choose to use DHCP server (for IP address allocation) or
manually specify the IP address.

NOTE: Always ensure that the correct encryption mode is
selected before powering on the RTX Secure. Failure to do so
may result in a failed RAID alarm. But don’t worry, your data will
remain intact and will be accessible once the correct encryption
mode is set.
