2.2 Connections
1. Plug the power cable into an active wall outlet and then into the Rack Pro. The
voltage will be set automatically.
2. Connect the mini-SAS port to the controller card.
CAUTION:
• Do not cover the enclosure’s ventilation holes.
• Do not connect the device to your computer until the drives are installed.
• For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always eject or
unmount the drive from your operating system before powering off.
2.3 Replacing Drives
If one of the drives fails, its activity
LED will display solid red. We
strongly suggest you immediately
replace any failing drive.
To remove the hard drive from the
enclosure, first unmount the drive
from your system, then pull the lever
located above the hard drive to eject
it (right).
NOTE:
some RAID modes allow the data on the array to remain accessible if a
single drive within that array fails. If more than one drive fails at the same time,
or if one drive fails and the RAID mode you have chosen does not support data
redundancy, data will be lost.
CAUTION:
always have a separate backup of your
data when using non-redundant modes like RAID 0!
Consult your RAID controller documentation for additional steps that may be
required to preserve data and replace drives, when using different RAID modes.
