When adding more
drives without
changing the RAID
mode, the hard
drives do not have
to be re-formatted
again.
The device does
not have to be
turned off when
adding or replacing
a faulty hard drive.
The data can still be
accessed when a
drive in the SAFE
mode fails but we
recommend
replacing the faulty
HDD immediately to
assure continued
backup and data
safety
Adding more Hard Drives
For the BIG and SAFE mode, it is possible to start with less
than 4 drives and installs more at a later point.
1. Remove the front panel and install the additional drive(s).
2. Press and hold the CONFIRM button for 3 seconds. The 3
RAID mode LEDs will light up twice at the same time to
confirm when the setup mode has been accessed.
3. Release the CONFIRM button.
4. Without changing the RAID mode, press the CONFIRM
button again to save the settings.
5. The device will now automatically reset itself and add the
new drive(s).
6. Mount the front panel.
Replacing a faulty Hard Drive
When using the SAFE or SAFE II mode, a faulty hard drive can
easily be replaced and the data restored automatically.
1. When one of the drives is defective, the ERROR LED will
light up red.
2. Remove the front panel and check which of the drives has
to be replaced. The corresponding LED from A-D will be
blinking red and green to indicate the defective drive,
instead of a steady green for normal operation.
3. Remove the defective drive and install the new one. It will
automatically start to rebuild the RAID array.
4. The REBUILD LED will light up green and the
corresponding HDD LED will light up red and blink green at
the same time during the rebuild process.
5. Mount the front panel and let it finish the rebuild process.
