sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for

8
exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may be
experiencing some hearing loss. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound, so after prolonged listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud
and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level.

turned off and only use suitable interconnects.
- Only use attachments/accessories specified and supplied by the manufacturer.

2-6-2-3 Explanation for each mode of RAID
1) BIG mode:
-. Need to install two storages to work properly
-. Two HDDs will be concatenated and presented as a single disk
-. For example, if install 500GB HDD and 250GB HDD, it will recognize as 750GB single disk.
2) RAID-1 mode(Mirror):
-. Need to install two storages to work properly
-. It creates an exact copy of data and partition on two disks simultaneously.
-. Total size will be the capacity of smaller disk.
-. For example, if install 320GB and 250GB, the total size will be 250GB
-. Automatic data recovery If one of the disks fails and replace with new drive, data can be
recovered
-. The new disk where the data to be recovered must be equal or bigger than other disk;
otherwise recovery is no possible.
