3. Hardware Requirements and Precautions
1. This system can only transfer data to one computer through one interface at a time.
2. The capacity of RAID 5 is the size of capacity of the smallest hard disk multiplied by 7 while RAID
0 is multiplied by 8. The result will be treated as one single high-capacity drive. A hard disk must
therefore be installed in every bay before this system can be used. We also recommend using
brand new hard disks with identical specications from the same brand. If a hard disk needs to be
changed, please be sure to buy a hard disk with the same specications, capacity, and brand. If
this is not possible, then the capacity of the new hard disk should be at least 20GB larger than the
existing hard disk.
3. After the hard disk is formatted, the actual total capacity of the GR8670-TB3 detected by the
computer operating system will vary from the sum of all hard disk capacities stated by the
manufacturer.
4. All existing data will be deleted when this product is set up for the rst time. Please ensure that all
data on the hard disk has been backed up before installation to avoid data loss.
5. Before a new HDD is installed in the GR8670-TB3, please make sure that there are no bad tracks
or defects to avoid data loss.
6. If the GR8670-TB3 needs to be shut down or disconnected, please ensure the HDD is safely
removed through your operating system before turning o the power.
7. To prevent data loss, do not remove any of the hard disks while the system is running.
8. Once the system has been initialized, do not switch hard disks around during use. Doing so may
prevent the RAID from being recognized by the system.

9. Once RAID mode has been set up, the switching of hard drives will lead to the removal of data
from the hard disks. Please be sure to backup the data on the hard disk before making any
switches.
10.Under RAID 5 mode, the system can only tolerate the failure of one hard disk. If the system
shows that two or more of your hard disks have failed, your stored data may already be damaged
or lost. In RAID 0 mode, If the system shows that one of your hard disks has failed, your stored
data may already be damaged or lost.
11.If the GR8670-TB3 needs to be shut down or disconnected, please ensure the HDD is safely
removed through your operating system before turning o the power.
12.While the In-chassis temperature reaches up to 55 degree-C (131 degree-F), in order to get rid of
the heat efficiently, your DR8-TB3 will turn fan parts to full speed automatically. And once the In-
chassis temperature drops down to 50 degree-C (122 degree-F), you could then set fan speed
at Fan Speed Switch manually to reduce its fan noise for a better green environment at both of a
lower fan noise and the power saving.
13.We strongly recommend backing up important data stored on the GR8670-TB3 to another storage
device or a remote site. RAIDON will not be held liable for the damage or loss of data you stored
on the GR8670-TB3.
4. Hardware Installation
Please follow the steps below to complete the hardware installation process:
When you open the package, please immediately check the product and included parts for
any damage or missing parts. If there is a problem with the product or included parts please
contact your supplier immediately.
Place the device on a flat, even surface. Make sure that the cooling fan is not blocked
and there is sufficient surrounding space for cooling. (Keep away from water or other
environments that may cause product damage)
Please insert the key included with the parts pack into the keyhole to release the HDD
enclosure handle and remove the HDD enclosure.
Place the hard disk in the HDD enclosure and secure it in place with the included screws;
this will prevent damage to the hard disk from external vibration.

5. Troubleshooting Fan Errors
The GR8670-TB3 includes a fan failure warning function. When the fan of the GR8670-TB3 fails, the
built-in buzzer will sound. The red warning light on the front plate will also light up; If this happens,
press the mute switch at the back of the system to turn o the buzzer. Next, turn o power to the
GR8670-TB3 as soon as possible to let the machine cool down. Check to make sure that the
machine is placed in a well-ventilated location with nothing obstructing the fan, also check to see if
the GR8670-TB3's fan has stopped turning. Once the above checks have been completed, turn the
power back on to continue using this system. If this doesn't solve the problem, please contact the
