Tips
This section covers some common sense tips for using the Fusion
400 enclosure.
Hot-swapping drives
:
Fusion 400 supports hot-swapping drives, enabling you to swap
out a drive or an array of drives without having to shut down the
enclosure or your computer. This does not mean you can simply
pull out a drive at any time; you follow the procedure below or
you may lose data in the process.
• Before removing a tray, you must put away (eject, unmount,
dismount) the drive volume. For Mac OS users, simply drag
the drive icon associated with the drive(s) you wish to remove
to the eject icon on the dock (or trash can on the desktop).
Windows users may left-click on the eject icon in the taskbar
for the drive they wish to eject.
Connections:
Fusion 400 uses eSATA data cable connectors to ensure the best
connection. If you experience issues where a drive or volume
does not appear, or you see an error message stating a drive is
missing when you have the drives set up in an array, the cause
may be as simple as a loose connection.
• If you do experience any trouble, disconnect the data cables
and reconnect them one at a time, making sure each one
“clicks” in place.
