3. Hardware Requirements and Precautions
1. When connected to the computer system, it’s prohibited to remove, insert or swap the hard drive
while data transfer is being performed.
2. It’s prohibited to change the positioning of the drives once the initial installation has been
completed as the changes made to the drive positions may destroy the RAID formation.
3. The product needs to be restarted after adding or changing the RAID mode, and the update is
guaranteed to be the new RAID mode.
4. When the Notebook which support USB PD function is only connected to GR5640-B31+/GR5640-
BA31+, GR5640-B31+/GR5640-BA31+ can provide up to 24W (12V/2A) power supply, but if then
connected to other power supply such like the original Notebook power supply, Notebook will
automatically judge which one will be the main power source, usually the one which can provide
more Wattage will be. At this time, GR5640-B31+/GR5640-BA31+ may be interrupted and re-
identied by the Notebook. Therefore, before connecting to other power supplies, please make
sure that there are no data accessed between Notebook and GR5640-B31+/GR5640-BA31+.
5. GR5640-B31+/GR5640-BA31+ can only provide 24W at most, which is di󰀨erent from the original
Notebook power supply. It mainly to extend the Notebook's usage time. Take Macbook Pro 13"
as an example, the original power supply is 60W, assuming it take 2 hours for it to fully charge
the battery , use GR5640-B31+/GR5640-BA31+ might need three times time. Therefore, if user
need to use Notebook for a long time, it is recommended to connect the original power supply rst
before connect GR5640-B31+/GR5640-BA31+.
6. Whenever turning off or unplugging the GR5640-BA31 from your computer system becomes
necessary, always remember to safely remove it from your operating system rst.
7. It is highly recommended for users to back up important data contained within the GR5640-BA31
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.

8. Replacement of Malfunctioning Drive and Data Rebuild Instructions
9. System Temperature Overheat and Fan Failure Management
1. Remove the drive tray containing the malfunctioned hard drive and disassemble the hard drive
from drive tray.
2. Mount the new hard drive onto the tray and insert it back to the empty drive position of the
GR5640, then push the latch into place making sure it is secured and locked.
3. In RAID 5 mode, when you turn the system on, the hard drive status indicator of the replacement
drive will interchangeably blink red and purple to inform that the data is being rebuilt to the
replacement drive. During data rebuild, you may operate the GR5640 as normal. When the
indicator stops, the data rebuild process has been completed.
If the alarm indicator has lit up red and the audio alarm sounds, this could mean that either a
system fan has stopped operating entirely or the system temperature has exceeded over the default
temperature of 55°C. When this occurs, you may press the mute button at the rear of the system to
shut o󰀨 the audio alarm and power o󰀨 the system immediately if in the allowed operational state to let
the system cool. Check and see if the overall operation environment is well ventilated and make sure
there are no blockages to the enclosed fan and then re-power on the system to continue use. If the
problem persists, please turn o󰀨 the system and contact your supplier or the RAIDON tech support
for further assistance.
When a front hard drive indicator has lit up red and the audio alarm sounds, this could mean the
indicated hard drive may be malfunctioning. If this occurs, you may press the mute button at the
rear of the system to shut o󰀨 the audio alarm and power o󰀨 the system immediately if in the allowed
operational state, and then re-power on the system to double check and see if in fact the indicated
hard drive has malfunctioned. If the problem persists, please turn off the system and follow the
directions below :
