3. Hardware Requirements and Precautions
1. After the hard disk is formatted, the actual total capacity of the ST2-B31+ 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 ST2-B31+ while the system is running.
3. Please always connect the USB cable to the computer to ensure the energy saving function
operating normally.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. The product needs to be restarted after adding or changing the RAID mode, and the update is
guaranteed to be the new RAID mode.
7. When the Notebook which support USB PD function is only connected to iST2-B31+, ST2-B31+
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,
ST2-B31+ may be interrupted and re-identied by the Notebook. Therefore, before connecting to
other power supplies, please make sure that there are no data accessed between Notebook and
ST2-B31+.
8. ST2-B31+ can only provide 24W at most, which is different 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
ST2-B31+ 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 ST2-B31+.
