Działanie
Wybór interfejsu
The enclosure features a one-button interface selection. Press the interface selection button on the front panel to switch between USB 3.0 and eSATA connectivity. Ensure the enclosure is disconnected from the computer or safely ejected before switching interfaces to prevent data loss.
Funkcja inteligentnego wentylatora
The built-in temperature sensor controls the smart fan function, offering both Auto and Manual modes with three levels of fan speed. This helps maintain optimal operating temperatures for your hard drives.
- Tryb automatyczny: Prędkość wentylatora dostosowuje się automatycznie na podstawie temperatury wewnętrznej.
- Tryb ręczny: Allows you to manually select one of three fan speed levels. Refer to the full user manual for specific instructions on switching modes and adjusting speeds.

Zarządzanie napędami
This enclosure functions as Direct Attached Storage (DAS), meaning each installed hard drive is recognized as an independent drive by your computer. It does not support hardware RAID. Software RAID configurations can be implemented via your operating system if desired.
- Individual Drive Access: Each drive appears as a separate volume.
- Hot-Swap Capability: While the enclosure supports hot-swapping, it is recommended to safely eject or dismount drives through your operating system before removal to prevent data corruption, especially when using USB. eSATA mode may offer more reliable hot-swap behavior depending on your system's eSATA controller.
Konserwacja
- Czyszczenie: Do czyszczenia zewnętrznej części obudowy należy używać miękkiej, suchej ściereczki. Nie należy używać płynów czyszczących ani aerozoli.
- Konserwacja wentylatora: Periodically check the cooling fans for dust accumulation. If necessary, gently clean the fan blades with compressed air to ensure optimal airflow. The fans are designed for easy installation and replacement.
