5. Usanidi wa RAID

The LC-35U3-RAID-2 supports multiple RAID modes. Before configuring RAID, ensure no critical data is on the installed hard drives, as this process will erase all data.

5.1. Understanding RAID Modes

Kawaida: Each hard drive operates independently as a separate volume.
Large (JBOD): Combines both hard drives into a single, large volume. Data is written sequentially across drives. No redundancy.
UVAMIZI 0 (Kupigwa): Combines both hard drives into a single volume for maximum performance. Data is split and written across both drives simultaneously. No redundancy; failure of one drive results in data loss.
RAID 1 (Kuakisi): Creates an exact copy of data on both hard drives. Provides data redundancy; if one drive fails, data can be recovered from the other. Capacity is limited to the size of the smallest drive.

5.2. Setting RAID Mode

Zima umeme: Hakikisha kuwa kiambatanisho kimezimwa na kukatwa muunganisho kutoka kwa kompyuta yako.
Weka Swichi za DIP: On the rear panel, locate the RAID setting DIP switches. Adjust these switches according to the desired RAID mode as indicated on the enclosure. Refer to Figure 5 for switch positions.
Press Reset Button: With the enclosure still powered off, use a small pointed object (like a paperclip) to press and hold the "RESET" button.
Washa: While holding the RESET button, power on the enclosure. Continue holding the RESET button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the indicator lights change or flash, then release.
Unganisha kwa Kompyuta: Connect the enclosure to your computer via USB.
Anzisha na Umbizo: For new RAID configurations or drives, you will need to initialize and format the new volume through your operating system's Disk Management utility (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac OS). Follow your OS's instructions for creating new partitions and formatting.

6.2. Udhibiti wa Mashabiki

The enclosure features a fan with adjustable speed settings. Use the fan control switch on the rear panel to select your desired fan speed (low, medium, high) or turn it off. Adjust the fan speed based on the operating temperature of your hard drives and ambient conditions.

6.3. Drive Activity Indicators

The enclosure has LED indicators for HDD1 and HDD2 on the top panel. These lights will illuminate when the respective drive is active (reading or writing data).

6.4. Utangamano wa Mfumo

The LC-35U3-RAID-2 is compatible with Windows 7 or higher and Mac OS 10.8 or higher. For optimal performance and UASP support, ensure your operating system is Windows 8 or newer.

- Thibitisha kuwa kebo ya USB imeunganishwa kwa uthabiti kwenye eneo la ndani na kompyuta. Jaribu mlango tofauti wa USB au kebo.
- Check your operating system's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac OS) to see if the drives are detected but uninitialized or unformatted.
- If you changed RAID modes, ensure you performed the RESET procedure correctly and initialized/formatted the volume.
Kasi ya uhamishaji data polepole:
- Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 port on your computer for optimal speeds.
- Verify that UASP is enabled (Windows 8 or higher).
- Angalia afya ya anatoa yako ngumu.
Viendeshi visivyozunguka au kutoa kelele zisizo za kawaida:
- Hakikisha usambazaji wa umeme unafanya kazi ipasavyo.
- Check that the hard drives are properly seated in their bays.
- If noises persist, the hard drive itself may be faulty.
Intermittent connection drops:
- Ensure the USB cable is not loose or damaged. Try a different, high-quality USB-A to USB-A cable.
- Epuka kuweka sehemu iliyofungwa karibu na vyanzo vikali vya kuingiliwa kwa umeme.
