2. Place one or two hard driver(s) in the slot. Make sure the SATA connector
is lined up with the connector inside the Mobile Rack.
3. Carefully push the hard driver into the Mobile Rack, So that the drive’s
SATA connector is seated securely, then close the door and lock it.
Note: It must be in the lock position when in
use. This prevents unexpected removal
while working.
Note:
1. Users are advised to disable the device from the computer before unplugging the
cable or turning off the device.
2. If the hard drive does not support ACCESS signal, then the HDD ACTIVE LED
will not flash when the hard drive is in use.
3. If the system cannot detect the device, please go to device management and
enable it.
4. Do not open the door or turn off the power of the Mobile Rack while the hard drive
is busy, this may cause damage to you hard drive.
5. It must be in the lock position when in use. This prevents unexpected removal
while working.
6. Do not force the door to open while it is locked, otherwise, you will damage the
lock.
RAID Information
：
Caution: Changing the RAID mode destroys data stored on the Mobile Rack,
If you have saved data on the drives, back up data before following these steps.
1.
JBOD (Non-RAID): The two physical disks read as two independent hard drives
in a
single housing, so that two logical volumes mount on the
desktop. Therefore, the computer will show two separate
drives.
Note: When using the e-SATA connector, the computer must
support port multiplier for this function to work.
The failure of one disk will not affect the other disk.
Therefore, the data on the working drive will be intact and
functioning.
2.
BIG (Concatenation): The two physical drives are combined
so that one single
yet larger logical volume mounts on the desktop, offerining
maximum possible capacity (the available capacities of each
disk are combined).
Note: If one physical disk fails, the data on both disks
will become inaccessible. If you are concerned about

English 4
data security, we highly recommend using Safe configuration
(RAID 1 mode).
3. Fast (RAID 0 Mode): The two physical drives are stripped together so that one
larger logical volume mounts on the desktop, offering the
maximum possible capacity like in Big mode (the available
capacities of each disk are combined) yet with greater speed
than the Big mode (the speed of each disk runs faster to a
certain level).
Note: If one drive fails, the data on both disks will become
inaccessible.
4. Safe (RAID 1 Mode): The two physical drives are “mirrored” (RAID 1) so that one
single logical volume mounts on the desktop. All of the data
on one drive will be recoverable from the other drive (the
available capacity of one drive cannot exceed the available
capacity of the other drive).
Note: If one physical disk fails, the data can be immediately
recovered from the second disk. No data will be lost if one
drive fails.
5. Safe33:
RAID 1 (SAFE 33%) + (BIG 67%), 33% of memory space on both
hard drives will be operating under RAID 1 mode, and the
rest of the hard drive memory on both disks will be assorted
into BIG.
6. Safe50:
RAID 1 (SAFE 50%) + (BIG 50%), 50% of the memory in both disks
will be RAID 1, and the rest of the hard drive memory on
both disks will be assorted into BIG.
7. GUI ONLY:
Use SteelVine Manager Software to configure the HDD Mode.
Only under GUI ONLY mode, SteelVine Manage can
change the hard drive memory mode, on other modes,
SteelVine Manager can monitor the hard drive statue, not
change that.

RAID notification
1. It is better to use the same hard drive brand and memory capacity to use the RAID
functions.
2. When using eSATA connector to set JBOD function, if the host cannot support port
multiplier function, the computer may not be able to detect 2 hard drives
simultaneously. (You may need to purchase the optional port multiplier eSATA
controller card to get the enclosure working properly)
