If the hard drives are brand new, or their file systems are not 

compatible with your operating system, the drive will need to 
be formatted before being used.
If any of the drives are inaccessible after powering on the 
unit, try the following steps:
1.      Turn off the power.
2.      Remove the drive(s) in question.
3.      Reinsert the drive(s).
4.      Turn on the power.

4. Write Protection Mode Selection 

(

RTX-3QJp)

•   R/W (Read/Write)

RTX-3QJp bay will operate like a standard external hard 
drive, performing standard read and write functions. The 
drive bay must be set to R/W mode in order to format the 
hard drive. If the bay is set to WP mode, new drives cannot 
be formatted for use.

•   WP (Write-Protect) 

RTX-3QJp will protect the data already on the hard drive. 
The data on the drive can be read but cannot be altered.

Note:

 When changing the mode of operation the new 

setting will not take effect until the power is cycled or 
a drive is removed or added. The mode LED will then 
change to indicate the new mode.
