5. Troubleshooting Notes 

· 

DO NOT reset the storage configuration mode (JBOD/RAID0/RAID1) and press the reset button 

if there is any important data on the SSD. Back-up the data first. 

· 

Disconnect and turn-off the Enclosure, reboot the computer, and then reconnect the Enclosure. 

· 

Check with the SSD manufacturer for management and diagnostic software. 

· 

Hot-swapping of the SSD drives is not supported and may corrupt the data. 

· 

A USB-C Gen 2 port should provide sufficient power for the enclosure. Connect the DC to USB power 

cable and a wall charger if the LEDs will not light.

 

· 

Do not connect the DC to USB power cable BEFORE connecting the USB cable to the computer.

 

· 

Disks previously formatted as RAID0 or RAID1 with another computer or enclosure may not be 
readable in this Enclosure. Back-up the data to another disk and re-format the disks with this 
Enclosure.

 

· 

Try a different storage configuration mode (JBOD/RAID0/RAID1) as a test

 

· 

Try a different USB-A or USB-C port on the computer. 

· 

Test the USB cable with a different device.
