Install the hard drives and replace the front panel, then turn on 
the power.

Note:

 Changing the RAID mode will require you to re-format the 

drivers. Make sure to backup all existing data first. 

 

 

Normal Mode (Non-Raid) 

Normal mode is the default setting of HDD enclosure and will not 
use any RAID mode. In Normal condition, both of the two hard disk 
mode inside the enclosure are in independent operation state, and 
also will be identified as the two separate hearts in the system, 
users can choose any hard drive for storing files. If one piece of 
hard disk is damaged, the other piece of hard disk data would not 
be influenced.
