You must un-mount the hard drive system by dragging the hard drive icon to the trash before
disconnecting it or powering it down.
Linux Systems
You must manually un-mount the volume using the appropriate Linux command for your
specific system type before disconnecting it.
Hard Disk Drive Hot-Plug and Unplug
When using a SATA host connection, the hard disk drives can be hot-plugged or hot-
unplugged while the system is running. However, to avoid data corruption or loss, care
should be taken to ensure that the host system is not currently using any drive that is about to
be hot-unplugged.
When using a USB host connection, the hard disk drives should not be hot-plugged or hot-
unplugged while the system is running. Instead, you should eject the drives or shut down
your host system before connecting or disconnecting any hard disk drives.
ATAPI Device Limitations
The following limitations apply when connecting an ATAPI device to a SATA port of the
CoolMax CD-320 :
•
ATAPI devices are only supported in the JBOD mode; they are not supported in
virtual drive configurations.
•
The GUI communication requires that the CoolMax CD-320 be configured as JBOD
with a hard disk drive connected to SATA port 0 and an ATAPI device connected
to SATA port 1.
•
The GUI will not communicate with the CoolMax CD-320 when in JBOD
configuration and only ATAPI devices are connect to one or both of the SATA
ports on the CD-320 processor.
