Initial Drive Mode Configuration

When you first turn on the Fusion QR after installing the
hard drives, you must select a mode to configure the drives
before using your operating system to format them and
make them ready for use.

In order to complete the initial

drive configuration steps, the QR must be connected to
your computer, and the computer must be powered on
.

1. Choose a configuration and turn the Drive Mode

Selection switch:

• to the 0 position for RAID 0

(Figure 15)

• to the 1 position for RAID 10

(Figure 16)

• to the 2 position for Span

(Figure 17)

• to the 3 position for RAID 5

(Figure 18)

• to the 4 position for JBOD

(Figure 19)

2. Press and hold the Erase & Set Mode switch; while

continuing to hold it in, flip the power switch on the
back of the enclosure to ON. Continue holding in the
Erase & Set Mode switch for three seconds, or until the
drive LEDs start flashing, and then release the switch.
Once the LEDs stop flashing, drive configuration
is complete. You may now format the drives using
your computer’s operating system drive formatting
application; go to page 8.

Change Drive Mode

You may change the drive mode from its initial state to
another by following the steps listed in Initial Drive Mode
Configuration above.

WARNING:

Configuring the drives in your Fusion

QR enclosure results in them having to be

reformatted. Reformatting the drives will erase any data
on them!
If there is any data on them, back it up first
outside of the Fusion system before configuring the drives.

WARNING:

Reconfiguring the drives in your Fusion

QR enclosure requires you to reformat them.

Reformatting the drives will erase any data on them! If
there is any data on them, back it up before changing the
drive modes.
