BZS Switch (SW1:1):

The BZ switch is used to silence the audible alarm buzzer. The OFF position 

permits the audible alarm, and the ON position silences the audible alarm. The BZ 

switch has immediate effect.

EZ Switch (SW1:2):

The EZ (spare) switch inhibits spares when ON. When in the OFF position, all 

individual drives (not defined as members of an array) are considered spare. 

Should a RAID become degraded, when the EZ switch is in the OFF position a 

spare drive will be used automatically to rebuild the RAID, if present. EZ mode is 

determined when the unit is powered up. Changing the switch will have no effect 

until the unit has been re-powered.

RAID Mode Switches M2, M1, M0 (SW1:3 – SW1-5)

The RAID Mode switches define what type of RAID will be initialized when the unit 

is powered up while the RAID Mode button is held down. Each type of RAID has 

different properties and requirements, as follows:

           

              1 Audible alarm is recommended at all times.

              2 EZ mode has no effect in JBOD mode.

              3 Disabling EZ for RAID 0 and LARGE is strongly recommended.
