3. Hardware Requirements and Precautions

1. Computers or servers must be with SATA I, SATA II, or SATA III interface.
2. Hard drive must be with SATA I, SATA II, or SATA III interface.
3. The independent drive at the top cannot be set into RAID mode with primary or secondary drive.
It is an independent drive.
4. You are strongly advised to set the storage mode before using your iR2023. (The default setting is
the RAID 1.)
5. Once the drive mode configuration has been completed, re-configuration using the same hard
drives to set the drive mode will result in complete data loss. If you must change the drive mode,
make sure to backup all data prior to the mode change.
6. A reboot is required after adding or changing RAID mode to ensure that the update is completed
to the new RAID mode.
7. iR2023 product allows user to simultaneously use the two different hard drives from two different
manufactures. However, if the user expects a better efficiency, we strongly recommend the user
to use the two hard drives from the same manufacturer.
8. Please make sure that the two hard drives are free from bad blocks or defects prior to installation
in order to avoid system crashes or data loss.
9. The actual storage capacity of iR2023 recognized by the system may differ from the total capacity
stated on the hard drives combined once the drives have been formatted.
10. It is highly recommended for user to back up important data contained within the iR2023 unit on
a regular basis or whenever the user feels necessary to a remote or a separate storage device.
RAIDON will not be responsible for any lost of data caused during the use of the unit or the
recovery of the data lost.
