3. 2 x 5-1/4” Expansion Bay.
4. One 4-pin DC power socket outlet.
5. To be afford to offer two hard disk power consumption.

1-4 Note (Read carefully before using XL-RAID133v2 )
1. Use two identical hard disks (same brand name and model) for optimum performance
and greatest convenience.
2. To obtain optimum performance, use two brand new hard disks or hard disks in perfect
conditions without any damaged sectors.
3. Use hard disks with a minimum capacity of 3.2GB Ultra DMA 33/66.
4. Easy to use with hard disks manufactured by QUANTUM, IBM, MAXTOR, or Western
Digital, etc.
5. Whether it is the upper or lower deck, please set up both Hard Disks to MASTER mode
or else HDD won’t be detected.
6. If replacing an old HDD with a new one, please purchase the same brand and choose a
disk capacity greater than or equal to the original one.
7. XL-RAID133v2 will automatically format a new HDD as use the Auto-Rebuild
Function to copy data to the new target HDD.
8. Normal HDD mode for XL-RAID133v2 is Ultra DMA. In the event of failure to work
with EIDE connector, HDD will automatically configure itself in PIO mode 4 or with
lower speed.
9. There is a Ball Bearing Fan integrated in the XL-RAID133v2 to prevent overheating for
7200 rpm HDD. When two 7200rpm Hard Disks are installed in a very busy server, we
suggest adopting a PC case with optimal design for overheating prevention in order to
avoid PC or RAID crashes.
10. In case of power failure during the Auto-Rebuild Function, controller will remember
the rebuilding progress percentage and carry on the operations when the power is
restored.
Please decide RAID level before formatting hard drive. As once you complete RAID setup,
changing RAID level will lose all data in drive.
