5. Set a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drive into the drive housing,
then seat the drive on the SATA connector as shown.
Minimal force is required.
6. Affix the drive to the inner-chassis at the location(s)
shown — holes for the slightly larger 3.5-inch drive screws
are circled in red, the hole for a 2.5-inch drive is circled in
yellow. Note: a total of one screw is required for 2.5-inch
drives, and four screws (two on each side) for 3.5-inch
drives.
7. Once the first drive is secured, flip the inner chassis and
repeat Steps 5 and 6 as needed. IMPORTANT: by default,
this device is set up to configure the drives as a RAID 0
once it is powered on and connected to the host. If you
want to use RAID 1, Independent Mode, or span, you must
change the setting on the RAID dial on the back of the
inner-chassis before proceeding to the next step (turning
the dial with a paper clip or flat-head screwdriver, size SL2.5
or SL2, should work). Additionally, if there is data on the
drives that were installed in Steps 5-7, choosing any mode
other than Independent Mode, will result in that data being
lost. For full RAID information see Section 2.2.
8. Make sure the ports on the back of the inner chassis and
the port cut-outs on the back of the outer enclosure are
oriented the same way, then slide the inner chassis into the
outer enclosure so that the chassis’ front plate is flush with
the cover’s front edge.
9. Re-affix the screws you removed in Step 2.
This completes the assembly process.
