Note

: Depending on the

drives used, when

powering on, allow up to

30 seconds for both drives

to spin up to speed.

Note

: Ensure a proper connection

when inserting a drive by putting it

straight down and not tilting it. If a

drive is not being detected, turn off

the dock then remove and re-insert

the drive.

2. Connect the USB and power cables then turn the dock on with the power button. Wait until your

computer detects the dock then begin transferring files. New hard drives need to be initialized and

formatted.

Caution

: Removing the hard drives from the dock while it is on may result in data loss. Before turning off the dock, make

sure the hard drives are not busy as indicated by the solid green “Hard Disk Access” lights on the front of the dock.

Troubleshooting

I can’t see the hard drives.

Make sure the power is on and the SATA hard drives have been

inserted straight in and not tilted. Also check all the connection

points as well as the USB ports on the computer as they may be

defective.

How do I initialize / format the hard drives?

Hard drives that have not been initialized may not show up on

the computer. Go to Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility

(Mac) and follow the instructions to initialize and/or format the

hard drives.

Why can’t my Windows XP system recognize more than 2TB?

Due to operating system limitations. Windows XP can only

access up to 2TB, even if the actual total capacity is greater.

JBOD mode is tech-speak for Just a Bunch Of Disks. In other words, the disks on this drive are not connected in an array. You

will see each disk separately in your computer like you would any other removable storage devices, except these are much

faster and much larger!

JBOD Mode

= Just a Bunch Of Disks.

Installation is a relatively simple process. It consists of two basic steps, all accomplished while your computer is already turned

on: Setup the dock, and initialize the attached blank HDDs in the disk utility of your given operating system.

Connect the Cavalry power supply.

Connect the USB cable to a port on your computer that you

have used recently and know to work well. Take this time to

temporarily eject and disconnect any other external storage

devices you have. This will make it easier to find your new

Cavalry dock.

Insert the hard drives that you are going to

use into the dock.* Make sure that you handle

them very carefully. Check that they are firmly

inserted into the dock. Be sure that you never touch any exposed circuitry or data ports on

the drive or the dock. Hard drives are very fragile devices!

Turn the dock on and proceed to the next step.

*Note: Ensure a proper connection when inserting a drive by putting it straight down and not tilting it. If a drive is not being

detected, turn off the dock then remove and re-insert the drive.

Note: Depending on the drives used when powering on, allow up to 30 seconds for both drives to spin up to speed.

Note: Take a moment to label your power supply with the Cavalry Model # of your unit. A piece of light-colored masking tape

or an address label works great, and can save you tons of time and frustration down the road. Just make sure it is attached well.

Caution: Removing the hard drives from the dock while it is on may result in data loss.
