l Use Ultra DMA 133/100/66 HDD of the same brand and model to let
ARS-2017E perform better.
l In installation, put the smaller drive onto the upper tray and the bigger
drive onto the lower tray if the two hard drives are different in capacity.
ARS-2017E will take the smaller drive as the source drive to synchronize
the data.
l If the two hard drives are the same in capacity, ARS-2017E will take the
drive in the upper tray as the source drive to synchronize the data.
l If you want to take the current hard drive which contains data as the source
drive, you need to put it into ARS-2017E first. Then, only after the power
LED lights can you put the destination or new drive into ARS-2017E.
l In rebuilding, it is prohibited to remove any drive, or data will be lost.
