Troubleshooting Fan Errors
The SR4-TB2 includes a fan failure warning function. When the fan of the SR4-TB2 fails, the
built-in buzzer will sound. The red warning light on the front plate will also light up; If this
happens, press the mute switch at the back of the system to turn off the buzzer. Next, turn off
power to the SR4-TB2 as soon as possible to let the machine cool down. Check to make sure that
the machine is placed in a well-ventilated location with nothing obstructing the fan, also check
to see if the SR4-TB2's fan has stopped turning. Once the above checks have been completed,
turn the power back on to continue using this system. If this doesn't solve the problem, please
contact the product supplier or STARDOM for further technical assistance.
5. Once the hard disk is installed, slide the enclosure into the system and close the handle.
6. Select the appropriate cable from the accessories pack depending on the interface.
Connect the SR4 backplate connection port to the corresponding port on the computer.
7. Connect the AC Power cable to the SR4. Plug the connector into the power socket then
start the system.
8. Your operating system will automatically detect available capacity once the device finishes
booting.
Once the device has been detected, please follow instructions given by the operating system
and format the system. Once the hard disk has been formatted, the SR4 system can be used.
9. If the computer is unable to detect the system, please install the drivers from official website
(www.stardom.com.tw)
Note: Please avoid using hard disk drives from different manufacturers or different
models from the same manufacturer as this may impact system performance.
1. When you open the package, please immediately check the product and included parts for
any damage or missing parts. If there is a problem with the product or included parts please
contact your supplier immediately.
2. Place the device on a flat, even surface. Make sure that the cooling fan is not blocked and
there is sufficient surrounding space for cooling. (Keep away from water or other
environments that may cause product damage).
3. Please insert the pin included with the parts pack into the keyhole to release the HDD
enclosure handle and remove the HDD enclosure.
4. Place the hard disk in the HDD enclosure and secure it in place with the included screws;
this will prevent damage to the hard disk from external vibration.
This system can only transfer data to one computer through one interface at a time.
The capacity of RAID 5 is the size of capacity of the smallest hard disk multiplied by 3,
while RAID 0 is multiplied by 4. The result will be treated as one single high-capacity
drive. A hard disk must therefore be installed in every bay before this system can be
used. We also recommend using brand new hard disks with identical specifications from
the same brand. If a hard disk needs to be changed, please be sure to buy a hard disk
with the same specifications, capacity, and brand. If this is not possible, then the capacity
of the new hard disk should be at least 20 GB larger than the existing hard disk.
After the hard disk is formatted, the actual total capacity of the SR4-TB2 detected by the
computer operating system will vary from the sum of all hard disk capacities stated by the
manufacturer.
All existing data will be deleted when this product is set up for the first time. Please ensure
that all data on the hard disk has been backed up before installation to avoid data loss.
Before a new HDD is installed in the SR4-TB4, please make sure that there are no bad
tracks or defects to avoid data loss.
If the SR4-TB2 needs to be shut down or disconnected, please ensure the HDD is safely
removed through your operating system before turning off the power.
To prevent data loss, do not remove any of the hard disks while the system is running.
Once the system has been initialized, do not switch hard disks around during use. Doing
so may prevent the RAID from being recognized by the system.
The product needs to be restarted after adding or changing the RAID mode, and the
update is guaranteed to be the new RAID mode.
Once RAID mode has been set up, the switching of hard drives will lead to the removal of
data from the hard disks. Please be sure to backup the data on the hard disk before
making any switches.
Under RAID 5 mode, the system can only tolerate the failure of one hard disk. If the
system shows that two or more of your hard disks have failed, your stored data may
already be damaged or lost. In RAID 0 mode, If the system shows that one of your hard
disks has failed, your stored data may already be damaged or lost.
If the SR4-TB2 needs to be shut down or disconnected, please ensure the HDD is safely
removed through your operating system before turning off the power.
The system fan will run at full speed when system temperature reaches 55 degrees to
speed up heat dissipation. The fan will only return to the manual speed setting when
system temperature drops back below 50 degrees.
We strongly recommend backing up important data stored on the SR4-TB2 to another
storage device or a remote site. STARDOM will not be held liable for the damage or loss
of data you stored on the SR4-TB2.
