eefore You Begin
Thank
you
for
purchasing
an myshare SATA
hard
drive.
This
installation
guide provides
instructions on
how
to
install
a SATA
hard drive in the myshare storage enclosure.
WhotYou Need
We
recommend
that
you
have
the
following items ready for
the
SATA hard drive installation.
e
Phillips screwdriver
o
3.5-inch SATA hard drive
kit
*
*
Two
SATA
hard
drives are
required for RAID configuration.
ESD
(Electrostatic
Discharge) Precautions
Always observe the following
precautions
before
you
install the
SATA hard drive:
o
Do not remove
a component
from its
protective
packaging
until
you
are ready
to
install it.
r
Wear
a
wrist-grounding
strap and attach
it to a metal
part
of
the myshare
storage
enclosure before
handling components.
e
lf a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact
with
the
enclosure
throughout any
procedure
requiring ESD
protection.
@
lnstalling a SATA Hard
Drive
The myshare storage enclosure
supports 3.5-inch
SATA or SATA
ll
hard
drives.
NOTE: Before
performing
any hardware
installation,
protect your
data
by backing up
your
existing hard
drive before
installing
a
new hard drive. Refer to the myshare
Storage Enclosure
Hardware Guide for
procedures.
WARNING: Failure to
properly
turn off the
system before
you
start
installing
components
may cause serious
damage.
1 Turn
off the
myshare
storage enclosure
and all the
peripherals
connected to it.
2 Unplug all cables from the
power
outlets.
3
Placethe
enclosure on a
flat,stable surface.
4 Observe the ESD
precautions
when
handling
a
system
component.
5
Access
the drive bays by
removing the three screws that
secure the myshare
storage enclosure
cover
(1).
6 Slide the cover towards the
rear
of the enclosure about
one half inch and lift it off
the chassis and
put
it aside

Remove the new hard
drive from its
protective
packaging.
B
Attach
the drive
brackets to the new hard drive.
('1)
Fit the
three tabs on the bracket into
the holes located
on the hard drive.
(2)
Attach
the second bracket
to
the other
side ofthe hard drive.
9 Slide the new hard
drive all the way into
the drive
bay.
NOTE: Make
sure
to align the drive connectors
to
the end
points
in the myshare
storage enclosure. Gently
push
the
drive until
the
connectors are
properly
engaged.
Position
the system cover
over the chassis
so that the
tabs
on the
cover
fit
the tab openings in
the enclosure.
Slide the cover
towards the front of the
chassis until it
is fully
closed
(1).
Secure the system
cover
with
the three screws
you
removed
in
step 5
(2).

3 Reconnect the myshare storage enclosure's
power
adapter.

Power on the enclosure,
then
wait at least
ten seconds.
The two Hard Drive
(HDD1
and
HDD2)
and USB Backup LED
indicators
on the
front
panel
of the
myshare
storage
enclosure
lights up to
indicate
system is initializing. After
about four
minutes, the Power/System Status and Hard
Drive
LED indicators lit up
green
to indicate the hard
drive is
properly
installed. lf
a
hard
drive
is not
properly
installed
the
Hard Drive LED
turns off or
if
the enclosure detects
a drive is
not
clean
(with
data stored on it) the Hard Drive
LED lits up
amber.
Refer to
the LED Activity
lndicators
table
to determine the
status
and description.
NOTE: lf
you
are installing a hard drive that has
a capacity larger
than 160
GB, the enclosure takes slightly longer
to detect or
initialize
the new drives. The maximum drive capacity
that the
enclosure
can
read is 1TB.

the contents stored on the drive and reinstall
it ifthe LED

problem persists,
contact
your
dealer.

Q
Configure the
New Hard
Drive
NOTE: Setting
up
a
RAID
configuration requires at least two hard
drives.
1 Open the System Configuration Utility
from
a client
computer connected to the myshare storage enclosure.
Refer to the enclosure's documentation for detailed
in struction s.
2 On the left
pane,
click Volume Management.
Click the Manage Volume tab to display the drive's
specifications and current status.
Click the
Manage
RAID tab to set up
an array. Options
include RAID
0

or Span
(JBOD).

nnto
overview
RAID
(Redundant
Array of lndependent
Disk
Drives)
refers
to
an array
of
multiple
independent hard
drives
that
provide
high
performance
and reliability.
RAID function
depends
on
the number
of drives
present
and
the RAID level
you
selected.
The myshare
storage enclosure
supports
the following
RAID
levels.
RAID
0
-
Also known
as stripping. All data
are
distributed
evenly to all
existing drives. The
two drives work
in unison
to maximize
system
performance.
However,
RAID 0 has
high risks
of data security. lf one
drive fails
then all
data in
both
drives will be lost.
RAID 1
-
Also known as mirroring.
Two hard
drives
are
required.
Data written
to one hard drive is
simultaneously
duplicated
to another hard
drive. lf one
drive fails,
the
other
drive continues to function
as a single
drive
until the
failed drive
is replaced.
JBOD
(Just
a Bunch
of
Drives)
-
Also known
as
spanning.
Two
or more hard
drives are required.
Several hard
drives
are configured
as a single hard disk
expanding
the
capacity
of the hard drive
and results in a useable
total
capacity.
However,
JBOD
does
not
increase system
performance
or
data
security.

f requentty
Asked
Questions
Can
you
install
just
one
drive?
Yes.
The myshare
storage enclosure
creates a
degraded
RAID 1
(Mirror)
volume for OS and
data when
only one hard
drive is installed.
The degraded volume
will
be
recovered
when
a second hard drive is
added to the enclosure.
lf
you
want
to configure the drive to other
RAID levels,
you
must first back-up
all data stored on the volume,
add
a new
disk and use the
System Configuration Utility
to select
another RAID
type.
Can
you
instoll different cdpacity hard
drives?
Yes. The
default RAID configuration for a data volume
is
Span,
which works fine
on different capacity hard
drives. However,
if
you
want to
change the configuration to RAID 1
(Mirror),
the volume size
equals to the size of the smaller hard
drive.
Cqn I install a different type
of
hard
drive?
i'ii
r,=;,,1,
,,'1
No. The myshare
storage
enclosure
supports only
3.5-inch SATA and
SATA
ll
hard drives.
SAtrA
FAtrIA
,
Cqn I install
hard drives f rom
different manafocturers?
Yes. The myshare
storage
enclosure supports installation
as
well
as copying
data
from
hard drives with
different
ma n ufactu rers.
How
many hard
drives do I have to install
to setup a RAID
0
or RAID
1 configuration?
Setting
up a RAID
configuration
requires
installation
of two
SATA hard
drives.
