CRU 2.5 Selecting the operation mode for each bay (RAX210-QJp and RAX212-QJp only) R/W (Read/Write) RAX QJp bay will operate like a standard external hard drive, performing standard read and write functions. The drive bay must be set to R/W mode in order to format the hard drive. WP (Write-Protect) RAX QJp will protect the data already on the hard drive. The data on the drive can be read but cannot be altered.

CRU 4.1.3 Mounting and unmounting volumes If the hard drives installed in RAX are already formatted, an icon representing the drive’s volume will appear (mount) on the desktop. You can begin using the volume right away. If the drive is unformatted, a message will appear on the desktop saying that the disk is unreadable. You can use OS X’s Disk Utility to easily format the drive (see section above).

CRU e) If you are prompted to select a partition type, select MBR for volumes 2TB or smaller, or GPT for volumes larger than 2TB. Note: Windows XP does not support GPT or volumes larger than 2TB. f) Click through several more windows, leaving the default settings, until you see a window that allows selection of a file system.

CRU 5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: When I change a drive to write protect mode in my RAX QJp, I can still copy a file to the hard drive. Is the file there? A: No. The operating system will show the file on the drive, but when you cycle power on RAX QJp you will see that the file is not actually there. Q: Can I daisy-chain both bays together so I can connect to the computer with a single FireWire cable? A: Yes.
