1.2 Functions and Features
The STARDOM SR3610 series is a disk array system designed to provide users with the most
cost-effective solution for their storage needs. It makes the swapping of hard disks easy while also
guaranteeing data security and completeness.
•24 Hour Real-Time Data Backup
Using RAID1, all data in the main hard disk can be immediately mirrored onto another hard disk,
ensuring the complete backup of your data at all times.
•Online Automatic Data Rebuild
In RAID1 mode, once a malfunctioning hard disk has been replaced, the system will automatically
rebuild the data to the new disk. No extra settings required.
•Custom Backup Schedule to Prevent Virus Infections
The user can define their own schedule for data backups. This may protect & delay the backup disk
from virus attacks that may have already infected the primary disk.
•LCD Status Display
The simple to use LCD display control panel makes the RAID and backup scheduling setups easy.
The fan and temperature information shown on the display also keeps users up to date on the
system’s status, simplifying product management.
•Plug and Play Support
The removable tray design allows plug and play of hard disks at any time, simplifying maintenance.
•No Drivers Needed
No additional drivers need to be installed. The product is compatible with Windows/Mac/Linux
operating systems.
•Hot Swapping Support
A malfunctioning hard disk can be replaced online without having to turn off the system power.
•GUI Monitoring Software
The Product is provided with a Windows-based RAIDGuide GUI software. Using the RS232 port
connection, the user can monitor the disk array system’s status at all times. An e-mail alert can be
sent if the system malfunctions to ensure complete protection.

2.2 Precautions and Requirements
1.
The SR3610 can be used with two hard disks that are of different models and storage capacities initially.
However, for improved performance, we recommend that both disks should have the same specifications
and capacity from the same manufacturer. It is also necessary that the backup drive be the same or
bigger in capacity than the source drive under the RAID1 model .
2. Please ensure that the two hard disks used contain no bad tracks. This avoids system crash or data
loss in the event that one hard disk malfunctions.
3. RAID0 mode offers improved data transfer performance and the full use of both hard disks as one
large capacity disk. It does not offer data mirroring, however so, if one hard disk is damaged, all data
will be lost.
4. We recommend that you decide whether to use the product in RAID0 or RAID1 (default value) mode
before it begins initial operation. Changing the RAID mode at a later date will result in the complete
loss of all data on the hard disks.
2.3 Hardware Installation
Please follow the steps below to complete installation of the SR3610 hardware.
Step 1 Place the device on a flat and stable surface. Make sure the fan exhaust is not blocked
and there is sufficient cooling space around the unit. (Please keep away from water sources or
other hazardous environments that may damage the product.)
Step 2 Remove the Tray and install your hard disk onto the tray. Make sure the hard disk secure
screws are fastened to avoid unnecessary movements to the hard disk.
