SETTING OR MODIFYING THE RAID MODE
NOTE:
Setting or modifying the RAID mode destroys all data.
Be sure the port multiplier is connected to an
active host before proceeding.
The port multiplier will not complete the process if it has no host connection.
1.
Follow the procedure for resetting the RAID Mode.
2.
Power down the unit and set the dip switch to the desired RAID Mode.
3.
While holding the SET button with a ball point pen, turn the unit on. A long beep will sound from the Port
Multiplier. The SET button may be released once the long beep starts. Shortly afterward, the port multiplier
should "chirp" to indicate the process is complete. If instead of a chirp the Port Multiplier sounds a series of
short beeps, an error has occurred during configuration of the array.
BZS SWITCH (SW1: 1)
The BZS switch is used to silence the audible alarm buzzer. The OFF position permits the audible alarm, and
the ON position silences the audible alarm. The BZS switch has immediate effect.
EZ SWITCH (SW1: 2)
The EZ (spare) switch inhibits spares when ON. When in the OFF position, all individual drives (not defined as
members of an array) are considered spare and are not offered to the operating system. Should a RAID
become degraded, when the EZ switch is in the OFF position a spare drive will be used automatically to rebuild
the RAID, if present. EZ mode is determined when the unit is powered up. Changing the switch will have no
effect until the unit has been re-powered.
Warning:
turning off the EZ switch to rebuild an array will consider any drives not declared array members to
be eligible for rebuild as a spare. Rebuilding will destroy all existing data on that drive and the drive chosen is
not predictable. Disconnect any individual drives with valuable data on them before enabling EZ Mode.
RAID Mode Switches M2, M1, MO (SW1 :3 - SW1 -5)
