Hardware Installation Secure the included Hard Drive Handles to the hard drives with the supplied screws and screw driver. Press the front door in to release the latch and open the door. The door is also removable for easier access. Inside will be a metal drive cage in front of the drive bays.
Remove the card board inserts (if first time setup) and then insert the hard drives into the slots. If installing less than 4 drives, ensure a drive is installed in the bottom slot. This will help when reinstalling the metal cage. Hard drives can be removed from the enclosure by pressing down on the handles, then pulling them out.
How to Use eSATA/USB Connectivity The enclosure features two separate host interfaces, which can be physically connected at the same time, however only one will be active at a time. The enclosure could even be connected to two different computers, one over eSATA and the other over USB, and then switched between.
Status Description Smart Fan Auto Mode Smart Fan Manual Mode Low Speed - 1200RPM (Manual Mode only) Medium Speed - 1800RPM (Manual Mode only) High Speed - 2500RPM (Manual Mode only) Pressing the ‘Fan’ button will toggle between Auto and Manual modes and toggle between the different manual fan speeds.
Troubleshooting Only one drive shows up over eSATA If only one of the installed hard drives is visible on the computer when connected over eSATA, ensure that the eSATA port on your computer system supports Port Multiplier technology.
