4. Hardware Installation Procedure
1. Computers or servers with SATA I & SATA II & SATA III.
2. Hard drive with SATA I & SATA II & SATA III
3. The product allows the user to simultaneously utilize two hard drives manufactured by dierent
companies. However, if the user expects better eciency, we strongly recommend the users to
use hard drives manufactured by the same manufacturer.
4. Please ensure that your two HDDs/SSDs are both good products, otherwise, they may damage
your personal data.
5. The actual storage capacity of iR4300-S2 recognized by the system may differ from the total
capacity stated on the hard drives combined once the drives have been formatted.
Please follow the following instructions to complete installation:
Note :
Once the drive mode conguration has been completed, re-conguration using the same hard
drives to set the drive mode will result in complete data loss. If you must change the drive
mode, make sure to backup all data prior to the mode change.
1. Unlock HDD/SSD Tray Key Lock. 2. Press Push-open Button to pull Tray Handles.
3. Extract HDD/SSD Trays.
4. Install a 2.5” HDD/SSD onto Tray.

5. Get 4 screws from Accessory Kit
and screw and fasten them into
the right positions.
6. Inser all 4 HDD/SSD Trays your iR4300-S2.
7. Install iR4300-S2 into one CD-ROM bay with screws from Accessory Kit,. Then properly connect
SATA Cable and 15-pin Power Supply Cable (from your PC system) to it.
8. The Defauty setting at iR4300-S2 is JBOD mode. At your rst time use of it, please turn on your
PC with JBOD mode. You could then start using your iR4300-S2 after hearing one 1-Long+2-Short
Beep.
9. While your iR4300-S2 is ready for use, please follow the instruction of "2. The Standard Procedure
to Switch RAID Setting" in Chapter 6 and set the RAID mode at your wish. You could then start
using your iR4300-S2 now.

6. Precautions Before Application
iR4300-S2 allows you to use two HDDs/SSDs from two dierent manufacures. However, for a
better eciency, we would recommend you to use the same HDD/SSD product from the same
manufacturer.
The Standard Procedure to Switch RAID Setting:
Step-I: Turn o system power, disconnect SATA Cable, switch RAID mode to JBOD mode at
backplate.
Step-II: Press and hold the Reset Button, turn on system power and release the Reset Button
after one1-Long+2-Short beep. Please turn system back to o.
Step-III:Change JBOD mode to the RAID mode you want to use.
Step-IV:Repeat Step-II Instruction.
Step-V: Turn on system power again, after hearing one 1-Long+2-Short beeps, connect SATA
Cable to your iR4300-S2. You have successfully changed RAID mode, and you could use
it now.
The is A WARNING to you: Since your personal data will be deleted furing RAID mode change,
once you decide to change RAID mode setting, please always keep all your personal data with a
safe copy before doing that change.
Please make sure you are safely to exit your iR4300-S2 from Window OS before removing it or
power it o.

Clone Data
：
While using iR4300-S2 as a data disk, and once you write a data, it will be saved into all 4
HDDs at the same time and kept a data back-up for data protection purpose. So, once one
of the 4 HDDs becomes defect, you shall still use your iR4300 product with the rest 3 HDDs.
You will only see one HDD (instead of all 4 HDDs) at your Win OS, and you will get the
whole memory capacity for 3 times of the least memory capacity from all 4 HDDs.

Unstable system after connecting iR4300-S2
Hard Drive Failure
Q1.
A:
Q2.
A:
After installing iR4300-S2, we are unable to start the computer or the computer can not locate
iR4300-S2 upon startup.
1. Please check whether the SATA Cable connection cables are properly connected to the
computer system and whether SATA drives are functioning normally.
2. If everything is functioning properly but the user still can not start the computer system, then
the problem might be the system incompatibility. If such incompatibility takes place, please
contact our technical support department.
When the iR4300-S2 is in use, the computer system is functioning normally but the iR4300-S2
access speed is abnormal.
Please rst check whether the iR4300-S2 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 specication these cables complies with the
requirements.
2. If both the lengths and specification of the cables are checked out ok, please turn off
iR4300-S2 and remove the hard drive from iR4300-S2. 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.
Under 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 iR4300-S2 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.
7. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1.
A:
Q2.
A:
Why 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, iR4300-S2 can not rebuild the new hard drive.
Please study carefully and fully understand the restriction at each RAID mode, and strictly follow it
to extract HDD under each RAID.
The Monitoring Signal Connector is to control Buzzer ON & OFF Switch and On & OFF for one
LED Light.
- If you want to learn it for your industrial control application, please contact to us to
[email protected] for the details.

We strongly recommend our users to always keep personal data with a safe copy wgile using
iR4300-S2. And RAIDON will not be responsible at any data loss by your improperly use of RAID
or mistake in using it.

About Auto Rebuilding Function
What will happen if we turn o the computer’s power while iR4300-S2 is still executing data
auto rebuilding?
he 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.
Is 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, iR4300-S2 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.

6. 產品使用注意事項
若想得到較佳的使用效能與選購硬碟的便利性，建議使用規格及廠牌相同的 2.5 吋硬碟。
切換 RAID 設定的標準程序：
步驟 1：在關機狀態下移除 iR4300-S2 的 SATA 連接線，再將 iR4300-S2 背板上的「RAID 模式」
調至 JBOD。
步驟 2：壓住「重置鈕」，再開啟電腦的電源開關，待蜂鳴器發出「1 長音 2 短音」後鬆開，再關
閉電腦。
步驟 3：將 iR4300-S2 背板上的「 RAID 模式」調至您所需要的模式。
步驟 4：壓住「重置鈕」，再開啟電腦的電源開關，待蜂鳴器發出「1 長音 2 短音」後鬆開，再關
閉電腦。
步驟 5：啟動電腦，待蜂鳴器發出「1 長音 2 短音」後，再以 SATA 連接線連結 iR4300-S2 與主機板。
您已經改變、並重新設定了 iR4300-S2 的 RAID 模式。
RAID 模式一旦設定完成，若要進行切換，因切換過程中將會清除硬碟中的資料，請務必先將硬碟
中的資料另行備份後再行切換。
當您需要關閉或移除 iR4300-S2 時，務必透過您所操作的作業系統中執行硬碟安全移除後，方可進
行電源關閉的動作。
當系統運作時，請勿任意移除任何一顆硬碟，以免導致資料遺失。
外引訊號，可將蜂鳴器開關與溫度故障燈號延伸至外部。

硬碟損毀
RAID 1 模式下，如果放入一顆新的硬碟，系統的總容量會是？
1. iR4300-S2 的總容量是依據一開始安裝的主硬碟容量而定。
2. 安裝完成後，即使更換一顆較大容量的硬碟，儲存容量也不會增加。
為何當我安裝第二顆硬碟時出現錯誤訊息？
第二顆硬碟的容量必須大於第一顆硬碟，否則 iR4300-S2 不會進行資料重建。
7. 常見問題
Q1.
A:
Q2.
A:
關於資料自動重建功能
如果當 iR4300-S2 在資料重建時關掉電腦電源，會不會怎樣 ?
在 RAID 1 模式下，資料重建過程中關閉電源，控制器會自動記憶已完成的百分比，當在度開啟
電源後，重建過程會從斷電前的百分比繼續。
資料重建過程中是否有可能會遺失資料 ?
資料重建功能是 Sector to Sector 的拷貝方式。技術上來說，資料並不會在資料重建過程中遺失。
但是，如果資料重建過程中，原本的硬碟 (Source) 被偵測到壞軌，iR4300-S2 將會採用模擬方式
而不會因此壞軌認為硬碟損毀。因此，這種情況下儲存在壞軌的資料就有可能會遺失。

Q1.
A:
Q2.
A:
安裝完 iR4300-S2 後，電腦無法開機或是電腦認不到 iR4300-S2。
1. 請確認 SATA 線有正確的跟電腦連接且硬碟是可正常運作。
2. 如果一切正常但使用者還是無法正常開機，這有可能是因為硬體上的相容性問題。如果是硬體
上相容性問題，請連繫我們的客服部門。
使用時，電腦運作正常但是 iR4300-S2 的存取效能不正常。
請確認 iR4300-S2 是否正在資料重建。
1. 請確認所使用的連接線長度，是否所使用的 SATA 線太長以及是否合乎標準規範。
2. 如果線材的長度與規格都沒問題，請關閉 iR4300-S2 並取出其中的硬碟。直接接硬碟連接到
電腦並進行檢測，有可能是硬碟中的壞軌導致。
