you must get them in the same state, meaning either erase
the data on both (using the Erase Mode on the Disk Jockey)
or if you would like to mirror a drive that already has data
on the drive, copy the data to the second drive using the
Copy Mode, compare that the data on both drives are exact
by using the Compare Mode and then switch to the Mirror
mode to continue working with the Mirror.
There are a few important details to be aware of when
working in Mode 1, or Mirror Mode:
1. Both hard disk drives need to be Ultra DMA
compatible.
2. If you connect different capacity hard disk drives
you can use Mirror Mode, however you’re only
playing to the lowest common denominator. For
example, if you mirror a 40 GB drive with a 60 GB
drive you will only see a 40 GB volume mounted
on your computer, the remaining 20 GB in this
scenario will not be usable.
3. If one of the hard disk drives fails it will not
automatically restore it. If one hard disk drive fails
simply go back to the Standard Mode (Mode 0) and
use it as a single hard disk drive or make a copy of
the data to a new hard disk drive using Copy Mode,
compare the data on the disks using the Compare
Mode and then resume your Mirror in Mirror Mode.
If a disk fails during operation you will be alerted to the
failure by the following audible alarms:
