• iR2772-S3 (EOL)

  Q1Under the mirror mode (RAID 1), what will be the system’s total storage capacity when adding a brand new hard drive? 1. The total storage capacity for iR2772-S3 is determined by the storage capacity of the primary hard drive installed during the initial usage. 2. The storage capacity will not increase after initial installation even when place a brand new hard drive with larger storage capacity. Q2Why does the error message appear when I installed the second hard drive? The storage capacity of the second hard drive must be larger than the first hard drive. Otherwise, iR2772-S3 can not rebuild the new hard drive. Q3What will happen if we turn off the computer’s power while iR2772-S3 is still executing data auto rebuilding? The mirror mode (RAID 1), if the power is out of the auto rebuilding process, the controller will remember when completion percentage of the auto rebuilding process and resume the rebuilding process when the power is back on. Q4Is it possible to lose any part of the data during the data auto rebuilding? The data auto rebuilding function will copy data from one sector to another sector. Technically speaking, the data will not be lost during the auto rebuilding process. However, if the original hard drive is detected with bad sectors during the rebuilding process, iR2772-S3 will make hypothetical duplication instead of treat the bad sectors as hard drive failure. Therefore, the data stored in the bad sectors could potentially be lost during rebuilding.

When the firmware upgrade process is complete, remove the Windows PE boot CD and shut down the computer. 6. Turn on the computer and change the BIOS setting to boot using RAIDbox, then execute the GUI file (.exe) to check if the firmware version is correct. Q2The correct operations to replace the damaged disk under RAID 1 mode. When power on RAIDbox, it will check the disk status at port 0 first. If the disk at port 0 is damaged when power on, the RAIDbox may retry again and again to get the disk status at port 0, then might cause the system boot failed or cannot recognize the RAIDbox. Please pay attention to the following operations if one disk damaged under RAID 1. 1. If one disk is damaged during operation, and the RAIDbox is still power on, please replace the damaged disk by hot-swap to start rebuild. Please DO NOT turn off the power during rebuild. After rebuild finished, you can turn on / off RAIDbox normally. 2. If the disk at port 0 is damaged and the RAIDbox has been powered off (the system has been shut down), please remove the damaged disk and move the disk at port 1 to Port 0 before turning it on again. Hot-swap in a new disk to port 1 to start rebuild after turn RAIDbox on. 3. The port 0 slot for each RAIDbox might be different. Please contact the customer service (supporting@raidontek.com) if need to check. These operations applies to these RAIDbox models: iR2770, iR2771, iR2774, iR2775, iR2777, iR2970, iR2975, iR2022, iR2023, iR2024, iR2025, iR2300, iR2301, iR2302, iR2320, iR2321, iR2822, iR2823, iR2824 Q3Upgrading Your System: Integrating iR2022 with Legacy RAID 1 Hard Drives. 1. Ensure the legacy device is functioning properly before powering down the system. 2. With the system off, replace the legacy device with the iR2022. 3. Remove a hard drive from the legacy device and install it into the iR2022. 4. Turn on the system, ensuring only one hard drive is installed in the iR2022 initially. 5. Upon booting, verify that all information is accurate and correct. 6. Once you've verified the accuracy of the data, proceed to insert another hard drive (either from the previous model or a new one) into the iR2022 while the computer remains powered on. The iR2022 will detect the newly added hard drive and automatically initiate data rebuilding. 7. Completion of the data rebuild signifies the successful update of the system. * NOTE 1: If the legacy device is currently rebuilding data, please wait for this process to finish before undertaking the steps mentioned above. * NOTE 2: In cases where the legacy device has only one functioning hard drive, ensure you back up its data prior to starting these operations to prevent potential data loss from hard drive failure during the process. * NOTE 3: If the old model contains two hard drives, it's advisable to retain one of them as a precautionary measure to prevent damage during the process, which could lead to irreversible data loss. Q4Upgrading from a Legacy RAID Device to iR2022 with New Hard Drives 1. Begin by backing up the data from the functioning legacy device using a third-party application (e.g., Ghost). 2. Turn off the system, then replace the legacy device with the iR2022. 3. Install the two new hard drives into the iR2022 and power on the system. 4. Once the system has booted, proceed to restore the backed-up data onto the iR2022. *NOTE: If the legacy device is undergoing a data rebuild, wait for this process to complete before starting these procedures. Q5What causes RAIDbox to be unable to recognize my non-brand-new hard drive? The issue may arise from existing records or data on the hard drive, preventing RAIDbox from recognizing it. To address this, connect the hard drive to your computer individually, clear its sectors using the operating system, and proceed to reformat it. For step-by-step instructions, please consult the operating system's guidelines. Once completed, you can then reintegrate the formatted hard drive into the RAIDbox for utilization. Q6What is the definition of Storage RAID modes? Storage Mode Definitions: - RAID 0 mode: Speed mode, the data is divided, and stored of dispersing on each hard disk at the same time, large volume storage with high speed throughput but without data protection feature. - RAID 1 mode: Mirror mode, the data will be stored in each HDD at the same time, so the capacity will only be half of its total capacity but it’s with an excellent data protection feature. Q7How to switch the RAID Mode? The default setting is RAID 1 mode, , please refer to the following steps to change to RAID 0 mode. I. Step 1. Please turn on the iR2022, II. Step 2. When you turn on the iR2022, please press the "UP" button at the same time. III. Step 3. Then you will see " Change to RAID 0 ENT=Yes ESC=NO" on the LCM, please press the "ENT" button. IV. Step 4. When you see LCM show "iR2022 RAID-0", you are change the RAID modes successfully. - Note: If you want to change back to RAID 1 mode, please perform the above steps again. And when you change the RAID mode, the data will be erased, please save your data before changing RAID mode. Q8Is it possible to lose data during the REBUILDING work? The REBUILDING work will automatically duplication data from one sector to another sector. Technically speaking, the data should not be lost during its REBUILDING work. However, if the original HDD is detected with too many bad sectors during the REBUILDING work, iR2022 will make hypothetical duplication instead of treating the bad sectors as HDD failure. Therefore, the data stored in the bad sectors could potentially be lost during REBUILDING work. Q9What will happen if we turn off the computer power while iR2022 is still executing auto REBUILDING work? Under the Mirror mode (RAID 1), if computer power is off during REBUILDING work, iR2022 will still remember the percentage of its REBUILDING work, and then resume it back to its REBUILDING work while computer power is back on. Q10Why does the error message appear when I install the second HDD? The storage capacity of the new replaced HDD must be larger than the first HDD. Otherwise, iR2022 is unable to perform REBUILDING work. Q11Under the Mirror mode (RAID 1), what will be the total storage capacity when adding a brand new HDD? 1. The total storage capacity at your iR2022 is determined by the storage capacity of the primary HDD installed during the initial usage. 2. The storage capacity will not be increased even though you replace a larger capacity new HDD. Q12Computer works fine, but iR2022 doesn’t perform right in reading/writing messagesproperly. Please first check whether if iR2022 is executing the auto REBUILDING work. If it works for REBUILDING, your iR2022 is a good device. And if it doesn’t, please follow the following two ways to find out the possible root cause: 1. Please examine if your SATA cable is too long and will attenuate signal, or whether if the Two SATA cables fail to meet the cable specification requirements. 2. If the two cables meet the requirements at both the specification & length, please turn off the computer, remove the two hard drives from iR2022, and directly connect the hard drives to computer, format them, and then try to read/write data into them. You may find out that the hard disk (s) are with unacceptable bad sector quanty. Q13After installing iR2022, we are unable to start the computer or the computer doesn’t recognize iR2022. 1. Please check whether if the readings of iR2022 LCD appears normal. 2. Please check whether if the SATA Cable properly connects to the computer and whether if the two hard disks are functioning properly. 3. If all the devices work properly but user is still unable to start the computer, it might be the system incompatibility problem. If such incompatibility takes place, please contact to our Customer Service Department to supporting@raidon.com.tw.

III. Step 3. Please turn on the iR2622, the LCM will show the RAID mode you have set. - Note: When you change the RAID mode, the data will be erased, please save your data before changing RAID mode. Q6Is it possible to lose any part of the data during the data auto rebuilding? The data auto rebuilding function will copy data from one sector to another sector. Technically speaking, the data will not be lost during the auto rebuilding process. However, if the original hard drive is detected with bad sectors during the rebuilding process, iR2622 will make hypothetical duplication instead of treat the bad sectors as hard drive failure. Therefore, the data stored in the bad sectors could potentially be lost during rebuilding. Q7What will happen if we turn off the computer's power while iR2622 is still executing data auto rebuilding? Under the mirror mode (RAID 1), if the power is out of the auto rebuilding process, the controller will remember when completion percentage of the auto rebuilding process and resume the rebuilding process when the power is back on. Q8Why does the error message appear when I installed the second hard drive? The storage capacity of the second hard drive must be larger than the first hard drive. Otherwise, iR2622 can not rebuild the new hard drive. Q9When the iR2622 is in use, the computer system is functioning normally but the iR2622 access speed is abnormal. Please first check whether the iR2622 is in the progress of executing data auto-rebuild. 1.

• iR2420-2S-S2 (EOL)

  Q1When an error has happened to iR2420 hard disk, what should I do? If you are using RAID 0 mode, please ensure which hard disk has caused the error and switch off the power of iR2420, remove the damaged hard disk and replace it with a new one. After rebooting, the system will rebuild RAID 0 system, but the original data would all be lost. If you are using RAID 1 mode, please remove the damaged hard disk and replace it with a new one directly without having to switch off power. After the new hard disk has been inserted, the system will start to “rebuild” program automatically. After finish rebuilding, you can then use it normally. Please note that during the process of system data rebuilding, do not remove any hard disk to ensure data integrity. Q2Is it alright to use a single hard disk under RAID 1? Yes, but it would completely lose its originally RAID 1 data security function. We suggest that you use two hard disks under RAID 1 mode to ensure data security. Under a single hard disk, RAID 1 is unable to perform mirroring function. If one hard disk is damaged, the interior data would be destroyed completely. Whenever one hard disk is damaged, we suggest users to replace it with a new one as soon as possible. Q3Is it alright to use RAID 1 to do hard disk backup function? Yes. RAID 1 is a mirror function itself. If your hark disk requires RAID 1 to do backup function, please place your hard disk containing data in HDD1 (Source) position to set as RAID 1, and after booting, place the new hard disk in HDD2 (Target) position. The system will do data backup function automatically. After iR2420 has finished rebuilding, the data in two hard disks would be exactly the same.

• SR2611-2S-S2R (EOL)

  Q1Under the mirror mode (RAID 1)， why does the computer slows down during the data rebuilding process? Or why does the data rebuilding process slows down when the data is being processed? If the iR2620 / SR2611 system is executing data rebuilding simultaneously while the computer system is saving the data,the auto rebuilding process and the saving process will take longer than normal time. This is because the iR2620 / SR2611 must divide it's resource between the normal system operation and the data rebuilding process. However，the priority for the iR2620 / SR2611 is to maintain the proper system operations. Therefore， the data rebuilding speed will be extremely slow until the system finished with the data saving operations. Q2Is it possible to lose any part of the data during the data auto rebuilding? The data auto rebuilding function will copy data from one sector to another sector. Technically speaking，A the data will not be lost during the auto rebuilding process. However，if the original hard drive is detected with bad sectors during the rebuilding process， iR2620 / SR2611 will make hypothetical duplication instead of treat the bad sectors as hard drive failure. Therefore，the data stored in the bad sectors could potentially be lost during rebuilding. Q3What will happen if we turn off the computer's power while iR2620 / SR2611 is still executing data auto rebuilding? Under the mirror mode (RAID 1)，if the power is out of the auto rebuilding process，the controller will remember when completion percentage of the auto rebuilding process and resume the rebuilding process when the power is back on. Q4My hard drive is obviously operating properly but why is it shown as failed in the SR2611 display? SR2611 uses more strict requirements and standards to examine the bad sectors in the hard drive. The user can first overwrite the bad sector on a PC before placing the hard drive into SR2611. Q5Why does the error message appear when I installed the second hard drive? 1. The storage capacity of the second hard drive must be larger than the first hard drive. Otherwise，iR2620 / SR2611 can not rebuild the new hard drive and the LCD display screen will display Wrong Capacity. 2. The LCD display screen might display rebuilding error messages such as Pri(s)->Sec(s)or Sec(s)->Pri(s). The term (s) signifies that both hard drives are treated as original hard drive. The user must determine which hard drive will be the original hard drive prior installing the hard drives into iR2620 / SR2611. Once the original hard drive is designated and installed in iR2620 / SR2611，the user can place in the second hard drive by taking advantage of iR2620 / SR2611's Auto Rebuilding function. Q6Under the mirror mode (RAID 1)?A what will be the system??s total storage capacity when adding a brand new hard drive? 1. The total storage capacity for SR2611 is determined by the storage capacity of the primary hard drive installed during the initial usage. 2. The storage capacity will not increase after initial installation even when place a brand new hard drive with larger storage capacity. Q7When the SR2611 is in use，the computer system is functioning normally but the SR2611 access speed is abnormal. Please first check whether the SR2611 is in the progress of executing data auto-rebuild. 1. Please examine if the length of the connection cables，SATA cable that connect the drives to the computer system is too long and whether the specification these cables complies with the requirements. 2. If both the lengths and specification of the cables are checked out ok，please turn off SR2611 and remove the hard drive from SR2611. Test the hard drive directly with the computer system since it might be the bad sectors in the hard drive that are causing the longer than normal system down time. Q8After installing SR2611，we are unable to start the computer or the computer can not locateSR2611 upon startup. 1. Please check whether the readings on theSR2611 LCD display screen appear normal. 2. Please check whether the SATA Cable connection cables are properly connected to the computer system and whether SATA drives are functioning normally. 3. If everything is functioning properly but the user still can not start the computer system?A then the problem might be the system incompatibility. If such incompatibility takes place，please contact our technical support department.
