When the HDD 1-5 LED lights up in red and the E/R
lights up in red, it means that the corresponding red light has an
error in the hard disk. Please replace the defective hard drive
with a new hard disk with a capacity not less than the old hard
drive when the enclosure is powered down. If the activity light of
the new hard disk flashes blue and red alternately and the E/R
light flashes red, it means that the replacement hard disk is in the
process of data recovery (Rebuild mode), and other hard disks
will also flash blue lights at the same time. Please do not shut
down and wait patiently. The recovery speed is about 180M/ s.
E/R LED: Error/ Rebuild LED. When there is a failure to
establish a RAID mode combination, and RAID automatically
restores data after replacing the hard disk; this LED will flash
red, indicating that the disk array data is being restored. When
the RAID mode is wrong, this LED will be solid red.

•After the program startup screen appears (see the figure below), click ‘Install’, and the
program will begin to install.

•The following screen will appear after installation. Click "Start Application Now" and
select "Finish" to run the program.

To Start the Application:
After the program is installed, there is a small icon in the task bar at the lower right corner
of Windows , which can be clicked to open; or when the product is connected to the
computer, the management program will automatically pop out. As shown in the figure
below, five hard disks are displayed in the software (displaying the inserted hard disks).
When the RAID Manager software is open, if the enclosure is plugged in, the program will
prompt the message as shown in the figure below.

When the RAID Manager software is open, if the enclosure is disconnected or removed, the
program will prompt the message as shown in the figure below.

Setting RAID Mode:
You can configure the RAID mode easily through the management software.
Click under "Basic Mode” When the icon enters the "Basic RAID Group Settings", the
following screen will appear . The left side is to configure RAID.
The program will automatically display the RAID mode that you can set according to the
number of hard disks installed. For example, when two hard disks are installed, RAID3,
RAID5, RAID10 will be greyed out.

To set up RAID mode, select the mode you need, press the "Apply" program at the bottom
right. A warning box will pop up. See the picture below. Please keep in mind, when you
change the RAID mode, be sure to back up your data as all the information on the hard drive
will be erased when the RAID mode is switched.
To continue, confirm ‘Yes’. The management program will automatically configure
the RAID mode you set.

When the RAID manager automatically completes the RAID creation, the following
screen will appear. The new mode is created.

Deleting RAID Mode:
When you do not need the RAID mode and need to restore four independent hard disks,
select “Delete All RAID Groups” and press “Apply”. The following warning box will
appear. Press “Yes” to continue and all RAID groups will be deleted.

When a hard disk in the RAID is damaged, the RAID degraded will be displayed in the
management interface.
You can replace a new hard disk with a capacity no less than the damaged hard disk, and
RAID will automatically restore data (only RAID1/3/5/10). You can see the progress of
data reconstruction as shown below.
