function we recommend using the RAID with a dedicated controller
without additional devices! If you want to use it in a SCSI chain,
please make sure that the chain is correctly terminated!
After connecting the RAID to your computer switch it on. The RAID
starts its self test and ends it with the status “ready” or “done”. After
that, you can power up your computer. If the operating system is
completely loaded, you have to initialize the RAID system. Therefore
you can use the software “Hard disk Toolkit” by FWB, included on
the ONE_ToolsCD. Of course, if you want, you can use other
software. But it is very important to initialize the RAID with a driver
installed on the operating system. If you are using MAC OS X (10.1
or higher) please use “disk utility” to configure the RAID.
If possible, use the same tool for all hard disks installed on your
system. After a successful initialization you can use your RAID
system like a normal hard disk.
PLEASE NOTICE: Before switching off the xRAID, you have to
choose „shutdown RAID“ in the controllers menu!
A RAID system increases the storage capacity of your system and
improves the read/write transaction speed. Depending on the
chosen level, it also improves data reliability and security compared
to normal single disks.
BUT: A RAID system never can be a replacement for backup
systems. Always keep in mind how a damaged RAID system and
the loss of all stored data could affect you! Always create backup
sets to decrease the chance to loose data!
For explanations of the RAID levels and additional information to
your RAID system refer to the separate RAID manual which is part
of the package content!
