Note:
Once the drive mode conguration has been completed, re-conguration using the same
hard drives to set the drive mode will result in complete data loss. If you must change
the drive mode, make sure to backup all data prior to the mode change.
4. Hardware Installation Procedure
Please follow the instructions below to complete the hardware installation.
Step 1. Unlock the M.2 SATA Bridge Tray Key Lock and tray open button.
Step 2. Press HDD Tray Key Lock and tray open button.
Step 3. Pull out the M.2 SATA Bridge Tray.
Step 4. Remove the screws.
Step 5. Remove the M.2 SATA Bridge.
Step 6. Remove the screws of the upper cover of the M.2 SATA Bridge.Open the upper cover.
Step 7. Insert M.2 and x the screw.
Step 8. Remove the paper from the heat sink in the upper cover and put the upper cover back.
Step 9. Fix the screws.
Step 10. Install M.2 SATA Bridge in a Tray
Step 11. Fix the screws.
Step 12. Install the M.2 SATA Bridge tray back into the iR8022.
4. iR8022 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 iR202 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 iR8022 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 iR8022 with RAID 1 mode.)
1. RAID 1 mode
1). Place two new hard drives into iR8022.
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, iR8022 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, iR8022 will
still work ne and properly. Once you replace the failed hard disk with a new one, iR8022 will
automatically do rebuilding the data from the good one to the new hard disk.
Step 13. When the hard drive installation has been completed, insert the hard drive tray into the
system horizontally and secure the latch into place.
Step 14. Use the preferred cable included to connect your computer to the relative interface
connection on the iR8022 unit.
※ Note :
1. RS232 Port and RS232 Cable: Provides hardware status monitoring to industrial control system or IPC via RS232.
2. We do not recommend users to disassemble the device without proper instructions and authorization. The manufacture warranty
will not cover the damages caused by unauthorized disassembling.
3. To prevent the device from malfunction, please make sure the device is connected with a direct and dedicated power connection of
a stable power input.
4. RS232 Port: For industrial control system or IPC to monitor the hardware status. More information, please contact your sales
window or [email protected]

6. Computer Setup
When the hardware setup for iR8022 is complete, you are now ready to turn the machine on.
After the hardware installation is complete, the iR8022 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 iR8022.
At this point, the installation process is completely nished. The user can freely retrieve and save
data to iR8022 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 iR8022.
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, iR8022 only recognizes
the memory capacity at the small capacity hard drive.
2). Under RAID 0 mode, the total memory capacity of iR8022 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 iR8022, 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 iR8022 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 iR8022, 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 iR8022 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：
When iR8022 completes its rebuilding, LCD again displays the following messages：
