CRU Configurator User Manual
If an update is found, an Update section will appear on the screen. Click Update Device
Firmware . Configurator will download the updated firmware and apply it to the con-
nected device.
2.4 OPTIONS TAB
The Options Tab allows you to modify the following configuration options for the
selected device. When you are finished modifying the options, click
Save to Device to
save them.
Before you can modify the following configuration options, you must remove any
drives inserted into your CRU device and connect the device to your computer
with a USB 2.0 cable. Always power off your device before removing drives!
If you are using Windows XP or an earlier version of Windows and you wish to
use drives with capacities larger than 2.2 terabytes, then you will need to disable
“Support drives with capacities larger than 2.2 terabytes”.
Configuration
Place or remove a check in the box next to each option to enable it. Remove a check
from the box to disable the option.
• Enable 3 gigabit data throughput - Enabled by default. Allows the product to
run at 3 Gbps SATA Revision 2.0 speed.
• Support drives with capacities larger than 2.2 terabytes - Enabled by default.
Allows operating systems to use the full capacity of drives larger than 2.2 tera-
bytes on modern operating systems. Uncheck this option to allow obsolete oper-
ating systems like Windows XP to detect the drives larger than 2.2 terabytes.
Usable drive capacity will then be limited to a maximum of 2.2 terabytes.
• Disable cache flushing - Forces the operating system to store read or written
data in the drive cache, which may sometimes result in faster data read speeds,
but may cause data loss if the device loses power. This setting should only be
enabled by advanced users.
PIN
This feature allows you to set a four-digit PIN number to prevent unauthorized RAID configuration of any
CRU QR or 3QR RAID device. The front panel interface will require you to enter the PIN number when
you attempt to configure the RAID type using the front panel. Setting the PIN to
0000 disables the option.
FireWire Chip ID
This eight-digit number indicates the FireWire chip ID that the device uses to connect to the computer via
a FireWire cable. Each FireWire device connected to a computer should have a unique ID number to avoid
conflicts. If multiple connected devices are using the same ID number, only one can be recognized by the
computer at a time. This option allows you to correct such conflicts.
