Tips
This section covers some tips for using the Fusion R400QR5
enclosure.
Hot-swapping:
When connected via eSATA data cable to a Mac running Mac
OS X, Fusion R400QR5 supports hot-swapping*, enabling you
to exchange a set of drives without having to shut down your
computer. This does not mean you can simply pull out the drives
at any time; you must follow the procedures below or you may
lose data, or cause the system to go into a degraded state in the
process.
• Before removing any of the drive modules, you must put away
(“eject”, “unmount”, “dismount”) the drive volume. Simply
drag the drive icon associated with the drive(s) you wish to
remove to the eject icon on the dock (or trash can on the
desktop).
• Power off the enclosure before reinserting the drive
modules. Once the modules are secured, power on the
enclosure again; this will ensure that the RAID set will mount
properly.
* Windows does not provide hot swap support for drives (drive
enclosures) connected to a SATA host controller card installed in a
desktop PC or server.
Connections:
•
Fusion R400QR5 supports only one interface at a time.
Do not connect more than one cable at a time between the
enclosure and computer; no damage will occur, but only one
interface will function.
