PRECAUTIONS FOR THE RAID SYSTEM

The main circuit board of the RAID System is susceptible to static

electricity. Proper grounding is required to prevent electrical damage to

the RAID System unit or other connected devices, including the host

computer. Always place the RAID System unit on a smooth surface and

avoid all dramatic movement, vibration and percussion.

Do NOT allow water to enter the RAID System unit.

Installation of additional equipment in the host computer may be required.

Visit our website to download the latest product information updates.

Do NOT attempt to service this unit yourself. Disassembling the RAID

System unit’s inner parts will expose you to dangerous voltages or other

hazards.

Do NOT block the ventilation. Proper airflow is required to ensure reliable

operation and to prevent overheating.

Do unplug the RAID System unit from the electrical outlet when not in use

to provide an ecological friendly environment.

Use only the power supply cable provided with the RAID System unit.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the DM4 3.5” SATA HDD 4-bay RAID System. The

DM4 3.5” SATA HDD 4-bay RAID System provides massive storage capacity

and advanced RAID configuration options in a desktop storage device. The

RAID Mode Switch allows easy configuration of RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1

(Mirroring), RAID 5, RAID 5+HotSpare, and RAID 0+1 RAID modes.

Please thoroughly read and follow the instructions provided in this manual.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the RAID System, and any or all of the

connected devices.

Features

Supports current SATA II compliant HDDs, fully backward compatible with

SATA 1.0 and SATA 1.0a compliant HDDs

Connects flexibly via an eSATA, USB 2.0, 1394a or 1394b port

Provides RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring), RAID 5, RAID 5+HotSpare,

and RAID 0+1 for effective storage management

Supports automatic rebuild in RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 5+HotSpare, and RAID

0+1

Configures RAID modes easily using switches, no IT expertise required

Simplifies RAID management, no software installation required

Monitors system status via LED indicators

Prevents over-tightened HDDs with auto-limiting segmented screws

Features a trayless function with the SmartGuiderand user-friendly design

enables effortless HDD hot-swapping

Dissipates heat efficiently with aluminum housing

Maximizes airflow with silent fans and mechanical designs

Supports hot-plug and HDD hot-swap

Supports both online and offline rebuild

Any loss, corruption, or destruction of data is the sole responsibility of the

user of the RAID System. Under no circumstances will the manufacturer be held

liable for the recovery or restoration of any data.

SmartGuideris a trayless device that utilizes the simplicity of a handle and

screws. The integrated handle is attached to the HDD with auto-limiting

segmented screws. Then, the entire setup can be slide into the unit by aligning

the screws with the specially designed guides. This enables flexibility in removal

and insertion of the HDDs with ease.

System Requirement

To use the 4-Bay RAID System, the minimum system configuration in the host

computer requires the following:

PC 266MHz or faster CPU (Windows Vista requires a minimum 800MHz CPU)

64MB of RAM (Windows Vista requires 512MB of RAM)

Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, 2003, or Vista

One available eSATA port, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394a, or IEEE 1394b port

(Depends on model)

MAC

Macintosh PowerPC or Intel Core Duo processor

64MB of RAM (Mac OS X 10.4 requires 256MB of RAM)

Mac OS X 10.2 or higher (PowerPC) or Mac OS X 10.4 (Intel) or higher

One available eSATA port, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394a, or IEEE 1394b port

(Depends on model)

A 3.5” SATA compatible hard drive is required for the RAID System unit.

Once the HDDs are formatted, the actual available storage capacity can vary

depending on the selected operating environment (normally 5-10 % less).

Optional Accessories

eSATA PCI, PCI-X, or PCI-Express Card

INSERTING/REPLACING THE HARD DRIVES IN

THE RAID SYSTEM

1. Place the RAID System with its front view facing you. Position one hand on

the front edge and one on the back edge of the top lid. Simultaneously, push

the lid in the direction away from you, front to back, using your thumbs.

A “click” sound would indicate the release of the top lid security

clasp.

2. Lift the top lid up to remove and expose the top view (or HDD slots). Take out

the handles from the enclosure itself and locate the HDD screws in the

packaging box.
