About Auto Rebuilding Function
Q1.
What will happen if we turn off the computer
’
s power while XL-RAID-213SA is still
executing data auto rebuilding?
A :
Under the mirror mode (RAID 1), if the power is out of the auto rebuilding process,
the controller will remember when completion percentage of the auto rebuilding
process and resume the rebuilding process when the power is back on.
Q2.
Is it possible to lose any part of the data during the data auto rebuilding?
A :
The data auto rebuilding function will copy data from one sector to another sector.
Technically speaking, the data will not be lost during the auto rebuilding process.
However, if the original hard drive is detected with bad sectors during the rebuilding
process, XL-RAID-213SA will make hypothetical duplication instead of treat the bad
sectors as hard drive failure. Therefore, the data stored in the bad sectors could
potentially be lost during rebuilding.
Q3.
Under the mirror mode (RAID 1), why does the computer slows down during the
data rebuilding process? Or why does the data rebuilding process slows down when
the data is being processed?
A :
If the XL-RAID-213SA system is executing data rebuilding simultaneously while the
computer system is saving the data, the auto rebuilding process and the saving
process will take longer than normal time. This is because the XL-RAID-213SA must
divide it
’
s resource between the normal system operation and the data rebuilding
process. However, the priority for the XL-RAID-213SA is to maintain the proper
system operations.
Therefore, the data rebuilding speed will be extremely slow until the system finished
with the data saving operations.
Other Possible Situations
Q1.
The Buzzer will not stop when the XL-RAID-213SA is in operation.
A :
Please check whether the readings on the LCD display are normal or if there is a
hard drive failure. Please also pay attention to any other symbols displayed in the
LCD display. For example, if the
“F”
symbol is displayed, this means that there is a
cooling fan failure. If
the “T”
symbol is displayed, this means that the system is
overheated.
Q2.
How to turn on and off the Buzzer?
A :
1. The manufacture default setting for the Buzzer in XL-RAID-213SA is Buzzer On.
This type of host adapters cannot reach the transfer performance speed beyond 135
MB/s.
2. The user can use any pointed materials to push the bottom on the front dash board
to turn on and off the Buzzer.
