7.3 Disconnecting an USB device 

7.4 HDD Hot Plug

8. Setting the RAID mode

Notes :

USB 3.0 external devices provide support for Plug and Play connection so that 
the 8-BAY RAID Enclosure can be connected and disconnected while the 
computer is running. To prevent data loss or other failures, we recommend the 
following procedures when disconnecting your USB 3.0 from your host comput-
er system:
Before you shut down your PC remove the 8-BAY RAID Enclosure from your 
system’s hardware, Double-clicking the symbol in the task bar. A menu will open 
up. Select the 8-BAY RAID Enclosure to securely remove it. Power off the 
device.

The hard drives support hot-plug features, however, only hot-plug the hard 

drives when there are failure, or no data being access. Data lost can occur when 

hard drive is being access.

To setup the RAID mode for the first time, make sure that the hard disk drives 
are installed, setting the RAID mode switches on unit and hold the setup button. 
Power on the 8-BAY Enclosure while the setup button is held, and continues to 
hold for 5 to 10s.

Creating new virtual volumes will destroy any existing data saved on the hard 
drives! Back up your data before setup or change RAID mode!
