• Please connect the SCSI terminator before setting up the MR5S1 or the device will not be detected.

• For Quick Installation the SCSI ID default is 0, however, if you need to change this please refer to the User's Manual on the CD.

Please make sure Channel Setting is set to Channel 1 or Channel 0+1 once Volume Set has been created.  USB 2.0, 

1394b and eSATA connections utilize Channel 1 setting.

Quick Volume and RAID Setup are the fastest ways to prepare a RAID set and volume set. You 

only need a few simple keystrokes to complete. Although disk drives of different capacities may 

be used in the RAID set, the MR5S1/ MR5CT1 will use the smallest capacity of the disk drive as 

the capacity of all disk drives in the RAID set. 

The Quick Volume and RAID Setup option creates a RAID set with the following properties :

1.  All of the physical disk drives are contained in a RAID set.

2.  The RAID levels associated with hot spare, capacity, and stripe size are selected during

  the configuration process.

3.  A single volume set is created and consumes all or a portion of the disk capacity

  available in this RAID set.
