Hardware Installation
WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling, especially
when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may
result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution. Be sure that
you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer
components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large
grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
1. Using a Philips head screw driver (not included), remove the side mounted screw on
the left front facing side of the enclosure.

WARNING! In order to prepare your drives for RAID operation, this enclosure will
congure newly installed drives into your desired RAID conguration. Please be
aware that any data currently on the drives may be lost during this process. It is
recommended that you back up all data prior to setting your RAID conguration.
a) Ensure the S352BU33HR is powered o.
b) Adjust the RAID Control Switch to your desired RAID conguration (See Available
RAID Congurations).
c) Press and hold the set RAID button while turning on the S352BU33HR on by

Available RAID Congurations
The S352BU33RER enclosure supports 4 dierent RAID congurations. RAID is a
storage technology that combines multiple hard drives into a single unit for secure
data redundancy, increased volume size and/or improved performance.
Descriptions and benets for each available RAID conguration are listed below:
JBOD - Normal
In JBOD, no RAID conguration is set and both drives appear as individual disks.
Note: For both drives to be detected while connected via eSATA the host controller
must support SATA Port Multiplier.
Combine - BIG
In BIG, both drives appear together as a single large disk the size of both drives
combined. This conguration enables you to create a larger volume than would be
available using a single drive without the performance increase oered with RAID 0.
R1 (RAID1) – Mirroring
In RAID1 both drives appear as a single disk and data is written identically to both. This
level protects your data from individual drive failure as a backup of all data is written
instantly.
R0 (RAID0) – Spanning
In RAID0 both drives appear together as a larger single disk the size of both drives
combined. This level can improve your performance as read and write operations are
performed in parallel on separate disks.
