Installing the CalDigit VR2

The CalDigit VR2 is ready to use out of the box.

Select the desired interface, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, USB 3.0 or eSATA. A FireWire 800

and eSATA cable are included.

Connect the power supply to the CalDigit VR2, then connect the desired interface cable.

Press the CalDigit VR2's power button. The CalDigit VR2 will boot. You should see the

CalDigit VR2 mount and it's ready to use.

To change the RAID level or to customize your CalDigit VR2 use the LCD or CalDigit’s RAID

Tool software. For further instructions see the Configuring your RAID section of this manual.

Note: If you would like to connect the CalDigit VR2 with eSATA, there are several

options. If you already have an eSATA controller card or port, simply connect the

provided eSATA cable. If you have a Mac or PC workstation that has internal SATA

port (late model Mac Pros) you can use an eSATA extender (available from

CalDigit). You can also purchase one of CalDigit's eSATA controller cards which

provide additional features (FASTA-2ex, FASTA-2e or FASTA-4e).

Note: If you would like to connect the CalDigit VR2 with USB 3.0 and do not have

a built in USB 3.0 port, you can purchase one of CalDigit’s USB 3.0 cards (CalDigit

SuperSpeed ExpressCard for Laptop, CalDigit SuperSpeed PCI Express Card or the

FASTA-6GU3). CalDigit's USB 3.0 cards work with both the Mac under OS X and

Windows.
