1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your new FANTEC mobiRAID 
X2U31 2X SSD & HDD RAID enclosure. This device supports 
very flexible RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) 
configuration. Due to the USB 3.1 (USB-C) interface (USB 3.0 
compatible), data transfer rates up to 10.0 Gbit/s are possible 
and as a special advantage, the operation without additional 
power supply has to be mentioned. These features guarantee 
exceptionally flexible application options for your RAID enclosure. 
 
Before you start installing and setting up the 
device, please read this manual carefully. 

2. Scope of delivery FANTEC mobiRAID X2U31

Your package contains the following components

3. LED displays

4. Interfaces

5. Hard disk installation

a) Pull the inner frame out of the aluminum case.

b) First install the hard disk in the bay of disk 1 and only then 
install another hard disk in the bay of disk 2. At this point we 
also recommend marking the hard disks accordingly with the 
supplied stickers disk 1 and disk 2. If there is damage to one of 
the hard disks later, the hard disks can be identified more easily.
