Installation

1.Use the provided key to unlock the front door if needed and open it.

2.Insert a drive into each bay as desired, SATA connectors first, label side up as shown, then press the drive firmly into place.

3.Connect one Host cable to a computer. The unit can only use one host connection at a time.

4.Make sure the AC input switch is set correctly, then connect the power cord to an AC outlet.

5.Set the AC power switch on the rear to ON, then press the power button behind the front door to turn on the unit.

To remove a drive, pull the Eject Lever until the drive disengages from the internal connector then pull the drive out.

Hot Swapping drives

The R1ESU3F unit supports hot swapping (inserting or removing drives while the drives are running and connected to a computer). In JBOD Mode, the eSATA controller on the computer must also support hot swapping - be sure to confirm this before attempting to insert or remove drives while the system is

running. Also be sure to practice the appropriate safe removal procedure before proceeding. Failure to practice safe removal procedures will result in loss or corruption of data.

Port Multiplier Compatibility

When configured as a set of individual drives and connected to an eSATA host adapter, the Port Multiplier will only work with a Port Multiplier aware host. This includes setting up the unit with more than one array. Identify your host controller and check with its hardware manufacturer if you are unsure. Addonics offers several Port Multiplier aware host adapters.

Using identical drives for all settings other than JBOD or LARGE is strongly recommended. Creating a LARGE array using drives that have different proper- ties will use all space on all members, and performance will match that of the member in use during any particular I/O operation. Creating a RAID using drives that are not all the same size will result in all members using only as much space as the smallest member. Creating a RAID using drives that have different performance will degrade the overall performance of the array.
