Safe Removal Of The Raid System; External Bootup - Rocstor ARCTICROC 2T User Manual

SAFE REMOVAL OF THE RAID SYSTEM

Safe removal of the RAID System from the host controller is highly recommended, especially
when switching interfaces. In order to safely remove your RAID System from the host
controller, you would need to remove the device from your host controller.
Most current USB host controllers handle USB and FireWire devices as external
devices; thus, it is highly recommended that the RAID System be safely removed from
the host if you are using the USB interface. However, if you are using the eSATA
interface, the host, depending on the eSATA controller, may handle external eSATA HDD
devices as internal HDD devices. Thus, if using a PC System, safe removal of the RAID System
from the host is necessary. If using a Mac System, safe removal of the RAID System from the
host is unnecessary.

EXTERNAL BOOTUP

External Bootup may be required if the user has two different operating systems set up in both
the host computer and the RAID System.

If the computer does not come with an eSATA interface and an optional eSATA card is
added; it is highly recommended to choose a card that comes with a built-in drive and
operating system.
