Chapter 2. Installation
15
1.
AccuSTOR RAID subsystem do not require the installation of different
drivers for use with different operating systems. AccuSTOR RAID is
independent and transparent to the host operating system.
2.
It is often recommended to install the hard drive with same brand, model
no., interface and capacity in this RAID subsystem.
3.
Please do not install SAS and SATA hard drives at the same time, as
these hard drives spin at different speed and may lead to compatible
issues or performance decline.
4.
RAID members need to be included at the same enclosure that means
you need to create array in the same enclosure. RAID members across
two or more enclosures would get some risks (for example: if mini-SAS
cable get problem, more RAID members will be lost, volume sets belong
to this Array may be failed. Shutdown RAID and JBOD to fix problem,
after that, turn on JBOD and RAID system again and controller will get
array back, but in some special case maybe it can’t get array back)
