(8) Sleep
If there is no HDD activity, the computer may put the Mobius to
sleep (LEDs o , HDDs spin down) depending on the energy
saver settings of the computer. The Mobius will wake up when
accessed.
(9) Ejecting the Drives
To prevent potential data corruption, it is important to properly eject
the storage volume(s).
Mac: Close all windows and applications that are accessing the
drive. Drag the drive icon to the Trash/Eject icon to dismount it.
The activity LED will cycle on/o and the HDD will spin down.
Windows: Close all applications that are accessing the Mobius.
Click the "Eject Hardware" (Safely Remove) icon in the system tray
and select the drive. The activity LED will cycle on/o and the drive
will spin down.
(10) RAID 1 Rebuild
If one of the drives fail, the D1 or D2 LED will turn RED while
connected to a computer. A new HDD can be installed and will
automatically rebuild with data.
Note: The replacement drive must be the same capacity as the original.
1. Power down the Mobius.
2. Remove the failed drive.
3. Install the new drive and power up the Mobius with it connected to
the computer.
4. The D1/D2 LED will blink about 2-3 times per second, which
indicates a rebuild in progress.
5. You may disconnect the MiniPro from the computer during the
rebuild, if desired. This will not interrupt the rebuild.
Note: To estimate the rebuild time, take the size of both drives and divide
by 2. For example, a 20TB RAID1 will take 10 hours (20TB divided by 2). This
can vary based on drive model and specs.
