3. Hardware Requirements and Precautions
1. After the hard disk is formatted, the actual total capacity of the GR3680 detected by the computer
operating system will vary from the sum of all hard disk capacities stated by the manufacturer.
2. To prevent data loss, do not remove GR3680 while the system is running.
3. Once the system has been initialized, do not switch hard disks around during use. Doing so may
prevent the RAID from being recognized by the system.
4. Once RAID mode has been set up, the switching of hard drives will lead to the removal of data
from the hard disks. Please be sure to backup the data on the hard disk before making any
switches.
5. The product needs to be restarted after adding or changing the RAID mode, and the update is
guaranteed to be the new RAID mode.
6. If the GR3680 needs to be shut down or disconnected, please ensure the HDD is safely removed
through your operating system before turning o󰀨 the power.
7. Users can set the RAID level and the basic functions of GR3680 using the buttons on the right
side of LCM in front of the product
8. We strongly recommend backing up important data stored on the GR3680 to another storage
device or a remote site. RAIDON will not be held liable for the damage or loss of data you stored
on the GR3680.
9. If you need to install the operation system such like Windows or macOS into this device, please
refer to the user manual for details.

7. Data Rebuild
During the use of GR3680, if you are required to replace a malfunctioning drive refer to chapter 6
"Hard Drive Replacement Instructions".Once drive replacement is complete and you power on the
GR3680, the system will perform data reconstruction.
The data rebuild processing time is based on the capacity of the drive. During procedures, we
suggest to not use the system until the procedure(s) is complete as use of the system during
procedures may cause delays to the processing time.Please wait until the procedure(s) has been
completed to continue use.
During the data rebuilding process, the LCM panel will display the percentage progression rate of the
rebuild. Below are sample diagrams.
6. Hard Drive Replacement Instructions

In normal operational state, if the LCM "Pri: X" or "Sec: M" and the audio alarm activates, this would
indicate that the hard drive may be malfunctioning.
When this happens, you may choose to disable the audio alarm by pressing the MUTE button
located at the front of the system and continue to operate the system normally.
When finished, you may restart the GR3680 to double check and see if the drive is in fact
malfunctioning. If you are certain that the drive is in fact malfunctioning, follow the instructions below
to complete the replacement of the malfunctioning drive.
Step 1
Step 2
Shut o󰀨 the GR3680 power. Extract the driveing "X/M" on the LCM from the corresponding
drive position and replace it with the new replacement drive. Do not switch the positions of
the drives.
Once the replacement is complete, turn on the power of the GR3680. When the system
completes initialization, the LCM will ask you if you wish to initiate the rebuilding procedure.
