RAID mode is set to RAID 1, the data can still be accessed, however, we strongly recommend replacing
the faulty drive immediately to assure continued proper backup and data safety.
If more than one drive fails at the same time or if the RAID mode is set to RAID 0, the data will be lost
and the system cannot be accessed again until the drive(s) have been replaced.

Connection to Computer
A few precautions and notes when using IB-RD3252:
•
Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions.
•
Do not cover the enclosure’s ventilation holes.
•
Before connecting the device, install the hard drives and set your preferred RAID mode.
•
For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always follow the correct
unplug procedure for external hardware (e.g.: Eject the drive before removal).
•
In order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2 TB, both the hardware and Operating
System need to have the capacity to support large volumes (e.g.: Windows Vista 32bit/64bit or
Mac OS 10.4 and above) or the >2 TB option should be disabled.
•
When the computer goes into stand-by mode, the external hard drives will spin down as well.
•
Only one interface can be used at any given time.
