4. IR2025 product allows user to simultaneously use the two di󰀨erent hard drives from two di󰀨erent
manufactures.
However, if the user expects a better efficiency, we strongly recommend the user to use the two
hard drives from the same manufacturer.
5. Please make sure that the two hard drives are free from bad blocks or defects prior to installation
in order to avoid system crashes or data loss.
6. The actual storage capacity of iR2025 recognized by the system may di󰀨er from the total capacity
stated on the hard drives combined once the drives have been formatted.
7. It is highly recommended for user to back up important data contained within the IR2025 unit on
a regular basis or whenever the user feels necessary to a remote or a separate storage device.
RAIDON will not be responsible for any lost of data caused during the use of the unit or the
recovery of the data lost.

5. RAID Mode Setting
After placing your two hard disks, turn on power and press UP Button, you are with the RAID Setting
mode. (Since the default setting is RAID 1 mode by factory, you do not have to reset RAID if you
want to use your IR2025 with RAID 1 mode.)
1. RAID 1 mode
1). Place two new hard drives into IR2025.
We would strongly suggest you to use two identical hard drives to get the maximum memory
capacity. And if the capacities of your two hard drives are di󰀨erence, IR2025 only recognizes
the memory capacity at the small capacity hard drive.
2). Under RAID 1 mode, two hard drives will have the identical information as one from its mirroring
feature, therefore, even though one and only one of the two hard drives failed, IR2025 will
still work ne and properly. Once you replace the failed hard disk with a new one, IR2025 will
automatically do rebuilding the data from the good one to the new hard disk.
Install device into one of the CD-ROM bays with screws from the accessory kit. Then
properly connect SATA cable and SATA power cable from your system to the device.
Power on your system after hardware installation is completed, and your operating system
will automatically detect the hard drives from booting. Then follow the steps from your
operating system to partition and format the drives when necessary, device will be ready
to use once the format is completed.Power on your system after hardware installation is
completed, and your operating system will automatically detect the hard drives from booting.
Then follow the steps from your operating system to partition and format the drives when
necessary, device will be ready to use once the format is completed.

6. Computer Setup
When the hardware setup for IR2025 is complete, you are now ready to turn the machine on.
After the hardware installation is complete, the IR2025 will be treated as one single hard drive. When
the computer is turned on, the system will retrieve the following information.
1. Device Manager Utility of Window OS will automatically detect the hard drive(s).
2. You can choose to format the hard drive by using the Disk Management tool of the operating
system before using the IR2025.
At this point, the installation process is completely nished. The user can freely retrieve and save
data to iR2025 just like retrieving and saving data to a regular hard drive. If the user has any problem
during the operation, please refer to the Question & Answer (Q&A) section in Appendix.
2. RAID 0 mode
1). Place two new hard drives into IR2025.
We would strongly suggest you to use two identical hard drives to get the maximum memory
capacity. And if the capacities of your two hard drives are di󰀨erence, IR2025 only recognizes
the memory capacity at the small capacity hard drive.
2). Under RAID 0 mode, the total memory capacity of IR2025 would be double from the small capacity
hard drive. And also, RAID 0 mode will perform an excellent efficiency from its high data
transfer rate for user to read & write data.

The Hot Swappable hard drive and Auto Rebuilding features are available.
O󰀨-line Back up：When the data is stored in IR2025, user can remove one of the hard drives as
back up drive for data such as system operation le, secured les, seldom modied les or image
and music les. The user can periodically insert the hard drive back into IR2025 to execute automatic
backup to protect the system from being hit by computer virus or to avoid the risk of having both hard
drives failing at the same time.
When one of the two hard drives fails in IR2025, it will issue an alert of a hard drive failure message
in both LCD display and the monitoring software. User can remove the failed hard drive from the
system while the system is still in operation without shutting down the machine. If the failed hard
drive is replaced shortly, the system will automatically execute the Auto Rebuilding function without
a󰀨ecting the system operation and also any operation command from the user.
When the IR2025 detects one hard drive missing or failure, the Buzzer starts BEEPING and the LCD
displays the following messages：
After replacing a new hard disk with the failed one, LCD displays the following messages:
After few seconds from your inserting a new hard drive, LCD displays the data rebuilding progress：

10. Questions & Answers

iR2025 User Manual

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Failure
Under the Mirror mode (RAID 1), what will be the total storage capacity when adding a brand
new HDD?
1. The total storage capacity at your IR2025 is determined by the storage capacity of the
primary HDD installed during the initial usage.
2. The storage capacity will not be increased even though you replace a larger capacity new
HDD.
Why does the error message appear when I install the second HDD?
The storage capacity of the new replaced HDD must be larger than the rst HDD.
Otherwise, IR2025 is unable to perform REBUILDING work.
Q1.

Q2.
A:
About the Auto Rebuilding Function
What will happen if we turn off the computer power while IR2025 is still executing auto
REBUILDING work?
Under the Mirror mode (RAID 1), if computer power is o󰀨 during REBUILDING work, IR2025
will still remember the percentage of its REBUILDING work, and then resume it back to its
REBUILDING work while computer power is back on.
Is it possible to lose data during the REBUILDING work?
The REBUILDING work will automatically duplication data from one sector to another sector.
Technically speaking, the data should not be lost during its REBUILDING work. However, if the
original HDD is detected with too many bad sectors during the REBUILDING work, IR2025 will
make hypothetical duplication instead of treating the bad sectors as HDD failure. Therefore, the
data stored in the bad sectors could potentially be lost during REBUILDING work.
