Use the ejector pin included in the accessory kit
to eject the
HDD enclosure handle, and then pull tray handle to remove it.
Mount the 2.5" HDD onto the removable tray.
When the
HDD
installation has been completed, insert the tray
into the system horizontally and secure the latch into place.
Use the RAID switch on the back of MR2 to set the RAID mode to be used.
Depending on the computer's USB port type, select the corresponding USB cable in the
accessory to connect the computer to the MR2's USB port.
Connect the power cord to the power adapter, connect the connectors at both ends to the
MR2 and the power socket, and then start the MR2.
After the computer is turned on, the storage capacity will be automatically recognized by
the operating system. After the storage capacity is recognized successfully, please format
the system according to your desired storage format and follow the instructions of the
operating system. After the hard disk is formatted, the MR2 can be used directly.
RAID Mode Setting:
Provide a big storage capacity and the data transfer efficiency, but no data porotection
feature.
Because of this Mirroring feature, your two HDDs/SSDs will keep an identical data
after your wtiting works. In case one of the two HDDs/SSDs is defect, MR2 would
still work fine with only one of them. And once inserting a good HDD/SSD as the
defect replacement, it will do the rebuilding work by itself.
With JBOD mode, you could actually use the two HDDs/SSDs as the normal two
storages for your large memory capacity requirement, but no data porotection
feature.
You could enjoy a double memory capacity from this BIG feature, but no data
porotection feature.

MOTE:
Please make sure that the product is connected to the host (power on status) before turning
on the power, otherwise the product will be on the sleep mode.
After the hard disk is formatted, the actual total capacity of the MR2 detected by the
computer operating system will vary from the sum of all hard disk capacities stated by the
manufacturer.
To prevent data loss, do not remove MR2 while the system is running.
Please always connect the USB cable to the computer to ensure the energy saving
function operating normally.
Once the system has been initialized, do not switch hard disks around during use. Doing
so may prevent the RAID from being recognized by the system.
Once RAID mode has been set up, the switching of hard drives will lead to the removal of
data from the hard disks. Please be sure to backup the data on the hard disk before
making any switches.
Before switching the RAID mode, you need to switch to JBOD before adjusting to the
required mode.
The product needs to be restarted after adding or changing the RAID mode, and the
update is guaranteed to be the new RAID mode.
If the MR2 needs to be shut down or disconnected, please ensure the HDD is safely
removed through your operating system before turning off the power.
We strongly recommend backing up important data stored on the MR2 to another storage
device or a remote site. STARDOM will not be held liable for the damage or loss of data
you stored on the MR2.

If you are using a USB 3.2 C to A cable, the Type-A on the host side needs to be USB 3.2
Gen2 for best access performance.
If the MR2 cannot be powered after connecting to the host through the USB Type C to
Type A cable alone, please use another Type C port to provide additional power before
connecting to the host.
