Installation Instructions 

  

1.

  Check the accessories with your TrayDock.  

Please contact WiebeTech if any items are missing 

or damaged.  The box should contain: 

 

TrayDock containing 2 or 4 trays  

Power cable 

FireWire 400 cable 

FireWire 800 cable 

Packet of drive screws and keys 

1 or 2 

CD with Manual and Warranty information 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 

2.

  Select your RAID configuration.

  A switch on the back of the unit activates or deactivates the 

hardware RAID 0.  When set to JBOD, your TrayDock will allow you to access each hard drive as a 
separate volume.  When set to RAID 0, the TrayDock will set the drives in a “striped” RAID.  This will split 
your data between the drives, offering faster performance and high capacity with a single volume.  After 
switching you must reformat your drives.   

RAID 0 

JBOD 

 
 

Warning:

 

Back up data 

before switching RAID types.  

You must reformat your 

drives afterwards.
