Manual IB-RD3662-C31
Attention
: The HDDs will not start to run if no data cable is connected to the PC, this function is to protect the HDDs.
Attention
: Changing the RAID mode requires you to reformat the drives. Make sure to backup all existing data first!
Replacing hard drives
When a drive fails, the corresponding HDD LED (1 or 2) will turn to red colour unless the RAID mode is set to SINGLE, in which case the HDD
will simply not be accessible anymore. If only one drive is defective and the RAID mode is set to RAID 1, the data can still be accessed but we
strongly recommend replacing the faulty drive immediately to assure continued proper backup and data safety.
1. Check the HDD LED and replace the faulty drive. The corresponding LED will turn to red colour indicating the defective drive. The power does
not have to be turned off when replacing the drive.
2. A few seconds after installing the new drive(s) the corresponding LED will turn on again.
3. For RAID 1, just exchange the defective HDD and power on the IB-RD3662-C31, the RAID array will be rebuilt automatically. During this
process, the LED will blink blue/pink. Rebuilding the RAID array will take several hours, depending on the drive capacity. If the capacity of the
new drive is less than the previous drive, the LED will blink slowly to indicate that the Rebuild process cannot be completed.
Attention
: please don‘t push the RAID-reset-switch, otherwise all data will go lost.
Note
: We recommend not turning off the power during the rebuild process but if the process is interrupted, it will continue rebuilding the data as
soon as the power is turned back on.
Note
: If necessary check the device manager and disc manager for the working HDD of the RAID1 array.
Note
: If necessary, you need to assign a drive letter to the found HDD of the RAID1 array.
