Chapter 3 Precaution before Usage
1. Hardware Requirement
1) Computers or servers with SATA I& SATA II
2) Hard drive with SATA I& SATA II
2. Notices
1) iR2620 / SR2611’s brilliant design allows the user to simultaneously utilize two hard
drives manu factured by different companies. However, if the user expects better
efciency, we strongly recommend the users to use hard drives manufactured by
the same manufacturer.
2) The iR2620 / SR2611 had undergone strict hard drive compatibility test. The result
shows that it is compatible with most hard drives on the market such as
Western Digital, Seagate, Fujitsu, Hitachi, and etc. However, due to the new types
of hard drives appearing on the market, if your hard drive is not compatible with the
system, please contact us through the following email:[email protected]
and we will reply as soon as possible.
3) The iR2620 / SR2611 is equipped with a ball bearing cooling fan that will provide
effective cooling for the 7200 & 10000 rpm hard drive. We highly recommend using
computer chassis with effective cooling design to avoid disk array crashing due to
ineffective cooling.
4) iR2620 / SR2611 supports RAID 0 & RAID 1.
Precaution before Usage 5

Chapter 4 Hardware Installation Procedure
1. Install your hard disks into the removable trays and secure them with the screws from
accessory kit. This will protect your hard disk from any unnecessary movement.

2. Once the hard disks have been installed, insert the removable trays into device and close
the handles.
6 Hardware Installation Procedure

Chapter 5 Connecting iR2620 / SR2611 to your
computer
1. Connect DC12V&5V power cables and SATA cables to iR2620 / SR2611.
2. Connect SATA cable to SATA port on the motherboard.

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.
Chapter 6 Setting the Hard Drive Array Mode
Please select the RAID mode with the jumper located at the back panel. The original default
is RAID 1, still there are three pins at the back panel for RAID mode selection:
RAID 0 mode by setting the jumper on the bottom of the two pins.
RAID 1 mode by setting the jumper on the top of the two pins.
1. RAID 0 Mode
1). Place two new hard drives into iR2620 / SR2611 and strongly suggest you to use two
identical hard drives to get the equal capacity. If the capacity is different, iR2620 /
SR2611 is downward to the small hard drive capacity.
2). Under RAID 0 mode, capacity is add up to a one big volume, also with the feature of
faster read/write performance efcient.
2. RAID 1 Mode
1). Place two new hard drives into iR2620 / SR2611 and strongly suggest you to use two
identical hard drives to get the equal capacity. If the capacity is different, iR2620 /
SR2611 is downward to the small hard drive capacity.
2). Under RAID 1 mode, two hard drives has the identical information as one to mirror to
the other one, therefore each of the hard drive failed is still able to function normally.
When you replace the failed hard disk to the new one the system automatically
rebuilding the data to the newly place hard disk.

Chapter 7 Computer Set Up
When the hardware setup for iR2620 / SR2611 is complete, you are now ready to turn the
machine on.
1. After the hardware installation is complete, the iR2620 / SR2611 will be treated as one
single hard drive. Set the hard drive to AUTO in the computer’s BIOS. When the
computer is turned on, the system will retrieve the following information:
2. In iR2620 / SR2611, the installed hard drive can be detected by the Device Manager of
Computer Management for Windows.
3. Customers can choose to format the hard drive by using the Disk Management tool of the
operating system before using the iR2620 / SR2611.
At this point, the installation process is completely nished. The user can freely retrieve and
save data to iR2620 / SR2611 just like retrieving and saving data to a regular hard drive.
If the user experiences any abnormality during the operation, please refer to the trouble
shooting Q&A section in Appendix.
