Dual-Bay RAID Storage Enclosure
Note
This device is designed for two hard drives and does not work when only one HDD is installed.
Important
Upon initial start up of the device and when changing the RAID mode, any existing data on the installed
hard drives will be erased. Please make sure you backup all data prior to installing the hard drives and
prior to changing the RAID mode!
2.2
Replacing Hard Drives
When a drive fails, the corresponding HDD LED will light up red. If only one drive is defective and the
RAID mode is set to RAID 1, the data can still be accessed, however, we strongly recommend replacing
the faulty drive immediately to assure continued proper backup and data safety.
If more than one drive fails at the same time or if the RAID mode is set to RAID 0, the data will be lost
and the system cannot be accessed again until the drive(s) have been replaced.
1.
Check the HDD LED. The corresponding LED will light up red, indicating the defective drive.
2.
Turn off the power by removing the power supply from the wall socket.
3.
Open the enclosure and replace the faulty hard drive(s) with a new one.
4.
Finish the assembly and re-connect the power supply.
5.
F or RAID 1, the RAID array will be rebuilt automatically. During this process, the Rebuild LED will
be fl ashing until all data is backed up. Rebuilding the RAID array will take several hours, depen-
ding on the drive capacity.
6.
F or RAID 0, unlock the RAID switch, go to the RAID setup menu, select RAID 0 and confi rm the
settings. After the system restart, simply format the drives.
Note
We recommend not turning off the power during the rebuild process but if the process is interrupted, it
will continue rebuilding the data as soon as the power is turned back on.

Connection to Computer
A few precautions and notes when using IB-RD2252:
•
Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions.
•
Do not cover the enclosure's ventilation holes.
•
Before connecting the device, install the hard drives and set your preferred RAID mode.
•
F or the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always follow the correct
unplug procedure for external hardware (e.g.: Eject the drive before removal).
•
I n order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2 TB, both the hardware and Operating
System need to have the capacity to support large volumes (e.g.: WinVista 32bit/64bit or Mac OS
10.4 and above) or the >2 TB option should be disabled.
•
When the computer goes into stand-by mode, the external hard drives will spin down as well.
•
Only one interface can be used at any given time.
