by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several

seconds.

conguration mode. N.C-SET

Instruction Manual

Use the included jumpers and the table below, to short the pins and set your desired

RAID mode.

RAID Mode Description Short Pins

RAID 0 Striping - Improves system performance 1-2, 4-5

RAID 1 Mirror – Creates a redundant drive on the

second drive for security 2-3, 4-5

BIG Spanning – Creates a large single drive

top or side mounting holes and included screw kit may, or may not be required to

assist in your installation.

4. Power on the SATA host device.

5. Your RAID array has now been installed.

6. (Optional) If you would prefer to lock your RAID array so it cannot be altered by the

RAID mode setting jumper pins, power down your SATA host device, and set the

RAID Lock/Unlock Jumper Pins to the lock position.

1. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/

7 / 8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Disk

Management from the left window panel.

2. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.

Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating

an “MBR” or“GPT” disk. GPT (GUID partition) is not compatible with some older

operating systems, while MBR is supported by newer and older operating systems.

3. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check the listed hard

drive capacity to conrm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the

section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.

Hard Drive Initialization

If the mSATA SSD RAID Array is new or otherwise blank, it may need to be initialized

and formatted before use. Follow the steps below in a Windows interface to initialize

the drive.
