During the use of MR2, if you are required to replace a malfunctioning drive, refer to chapter 4
“Hardware Installation”. Once drive replacement is completed and it is turned on, MR2 will perform
data rebuilding procedure automatically.
If, during the rebuilding process, a drive malfunctions and is unable to continue the rebuilding
process, please restart MR2 to check and see that whether the drive is in fact malfunctioning. If it is,
please refer to chapter 4 “Hardware Installation” to replace the malfunctioning drive.
Note
：
MR2 allows suspension during data rebuilding process. If you turn off the power during the process,
the system will automatically continue to process the remains the next time you turn on the power of
the unit. Please do not change the position and sequence of the drives at any time.
