OS Backup
2. RAID 1 Mode
1). Place two new hard drives into XL-RAID-SATA2 and strongly suggest you to use two
identical hard drives to get the equal capacity. If the capacity is different, XL-RAID-
SATA2 is downward to the small hard drive capacity.
2). Under RAID 1 mode, two hard drives has the identical information as one to mirror to
the other one, therefore each of the hard drive failed is still able to function normally.
When you replace the failed hard disk to the new one the system automatically
rebuilding the data to the newly place hard disk.
OS Backup
Installing a brand new hard drive and a hard drive with existing data. Internal RAID module
is suggested to be used for OS backup data.
1. We highly recommend using the same brand of hard drives with the same or larger stor
age capacity when installing hard drives to XL-RAID-SATA2. The user can use the auto
rebuilding function to automatically format the new drive and subsequently to back up the
data into the new hard drive.
2. Place the hard drive with existing data into slot 1 or 2 in the XL-RAID-SATA2.
3. Since one of the slots is empty, the buzzer will alarm user about the empty slot when the
computer is turned on. To shut off the buzzer alarm, just push the bottom located in the
front display screen.
4. After turning on the operation system, please check whether the current XL-RAID-SATA2
setting
is the same prior to hard drive installation. Then place the new hard drive in the removable
hard drive carrier into another slot. Note: the storage capacity of the newly installed hard
drive must be larger than or equal to the old hard drive.
5. The XL-RAID-SATA2 will start the auto rebuilding function shortly after.
6. Please press the Buzzer bottom after auto rebuilding to reset the buzzer alarm and to
return the system operation normally.
7. If you use this install method and backup OS at the same time, please make sure that the
system is installed normally, in case of error or OS backup failure.
