ConnectStor II User Manual

Installing Hard Drives
ConnectStor II is designed for rapid user installation of two (or one) unformatted Ultra
ATA/100 hard drives. Check each drive to insure that they are jumpered correctly as "master"
or "single" drive (see manufacturer's instructions and/or directions label on the drive).
If you install only one hard drive, ConnectStor II will automatically format it as a single-disk
RAID 0 array. If you install two hard drives, ConnectStor II will automatically format them
as a two-disk RAID 1 array.
You may later convert the RAID 1 two-disk array to a RAID 0 two-disk array (see page 4
7
).
CAUTION
: You cannot install one hard drive now and add
another hard drive later. If you intend to use two hard drives
with your ConnectStor II, install both of them now
NOTE
: Promise recommends use of identical drives for best
performance and compatibility.
