Chapter 3. Installation 3.1 Installing HDD The SVS-5R supports a maximum of 4 SATA hard drives. To ensure proper installation, please follow the instructions below. ※Caution: All SATA hard drives must be of the same model. - Using the enclosed access panel lock, open the right front panel, and then the left front panel while holding down the two buttons on the left panel. - For the hot-swap drive bays, ① and ③ are shaped identically to each other, while ② and ④ are shaped identically.
User’s Manual - Remove a hot-swap drive bay by pulling the handle toward you. - Using the enclosed screws, secure a SATA hard drive to the hot-swap drive bay. 2 screw grooves are located on either side of the hot-swap drive bay. ※Caution: SATA hard drives are of different shape on the front and back. When securing a SATA hard drive to a hot-swap drive bay, please make sure to place the SATA connector on the opposite side of the handle of the drive bay.
3.2 Initializing a HDD The SVS-5R shows the status of the RAID operation and connected SATA hard drives through an LCD on the front panel. ※Caution: The SVS-5R is initially set up to “RAID5 4d”. Should connected SATA drive fail, the front LCD indicates the degraded status of the SVS-5R. In this case, you can rebuild the RAID array by replacing the failed SATA hard drive.
User’s Manual ※Caution: The following message appears each time the SVS-5R turns on. To keep the initial RAID settings, please wait 20 seconds after the product is turned on. To change the RAID settings, press the left button to move to the RAID resetting mode. Change RAID mode <-Okay? - If all 4 SATA hard drives are properly connected, the LCD on the front panel displays a message as shown in the window below on the left. To reset the RAID settings, press the left button.
Chapter 4. Operation 4.1 RAID Settings The SVS-5R supports RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, RAID5, and RAID5+Hotstandby. ※Caution: The SVS-5R is initially set up to “RAID5 4d”. “RAID5 4d” is to configure 4 SATA hard drives with the RAID5 settings. To use a different RAID mode, please use the ‘Configuration Tool’ in the enclosed CD. - Connect plugs of the enclosed USB cable to the back side of the SVS-5R and a windowsinstalled PC.
User’s Manual 4.1.1 RAID0 The SVS-5R supports RAID0. Using RAID0 requires 2 or 4 SATA hard drives. When configured to RAID0 with 2 or 4 SATA hard drives, the SVS-5R saves data as shown in the picture below. RAID0 saves data across all connected hard drives and storage; it has the fastest speed and uses the hard drives to full capacity. ※Caution: RAID0 has no fault tolerance; entire data of the SVS-5R is lost if even one SATA hard drive fails. RAID0 is not recommended for saving crucial data.
