Error Messages

You may encounter an error message that reads: 
"BACKUP HDD NOT CONFIGURED"if you do not set 
the HDD CONFIGURATION properly. 

The hard drive(s) 

must 

be set in BACKUP mode in 

order for the mirroring function to work (Figure 2.4).

NOTE: 

At least ONE hard drive needs to be set to 

BACKUP mode for Mirror mode to function. Do not 
set all the hard drives to BACKUP mode. See figure 
2.4 as an example.

Restarting The Expansion Bay

If you need to power off the expansion bay, you must restart the Blade in order to detect the 
expansion bay hard drives. To restart the expansion bay, unplug the power cord from the rear 
panel. Wait five seconds before powering back on.

Always set up the expansion bay in an area where you will not accidently trip or unplug the power 
cord. If this happens, you must restart the Blade in order for the expansion bay hard drives to 
function.

Upgrading The Hard Drive

You may need to upgrade the hard drive on the expansion bay to increase storage capacity or for 
future maintenance.

Remove The Casing

the casing.

NOTE: 

The two vent slots on the casing face 

toward the two internal hard drives.
