1.3 RAID Mode Explanation
Drive counts from 0 to 5.
● Any change of RAID mode will result in data rebuild and data lost.
①RAID MODE 6
②RAID MODE 0
③RAID MODE 3
④RAID MODE 5
Data
Drive
Parity Data
Drive
Data and
parity are
equally
distributed
among 5
drives
The most bottom drive is reserved for future usage. One
Parity drive is located at Drive 4.
It allows one drive failure while data is accessing.
The data residing in failed drive can be generated from the
rest of 4 drives
The most bottom drive is reserved for future usage. Data
and Parity are distributed among 5 HDDs. Since there is no
assigned disk for parity, each drive shares the same loading
in data access.
Data
Drive
All drives are used for data recording
Data is segmented and equally distributed among 6 drives.
All 6 drives will be accessed while data is read or written.
The mode provides the highest performance among all
others.
At the same time, if one drive failed, the whole data will be
lost.
Data and
Parity are
divided by
six
portions
Comparing with RAID-5 dual parity is applied providing even
higher reliability. Allow up to two drives failure but also
sacrifice capacity of two drives
CAUTION

⑤RAID MODE 10
It is the combination of RAID-0 and RAID-1.
Performance and security can be raised.
Stripe across mirrored Drive 0, 1 and Drive 2, 3
Capacity is equal to 2 drives capacity. Data can be accessed
even one of both mirrored pair drives failed. The rest of two
drives are reserved for future usage.

1.6 Connection
● Do not expose the unit under high temperature or directly sun light
For normal operation, adequate air condition to cool the unit is
necessary
● Never shut off the power while the drive is being accessed.
It may cause abnormal operation
● Do not use the unit over or under power input range
Unstable power input might cause the system unusable or malfunction
● Never insert or remove the cable with wet hands.
You may be electrocuted.
● Avoid to share the power plug with other high power
device
＜Steps＞
Tips: Below steps is applied to the storage unit pre-configured with drives and RAID level upon procurement.
If the unit was procured without drives, please read the quick installation guide before starting of operation.
①Connect AC power cord to AC inlet and turn power switch on at rear panel of DVM06U3.
(For first time power of a new installation, press and hold “MODE”button for 3 seconds while
turning power switch on)
②Connect USB-C cable tightly between DVM06U3 and host computer (Cable clamp can be applied
to the USB-C cable as needed)
③Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on the storage system to your network for Web
GUI management.
④Turn on the host computer power and start the operation.
