EZ Switch (SW1:2):
The EZ (spare) switch inhibits spares when ON. When in the OFF
position, all individual drives (not defined as members of an array) are
considered spare. Should a RAID become degraded, when the EZ
switch is in the OFF position a spare drive will be used automatically to
rebuild the RAID, if present. EZ mode is determined when the unit is
powered up. Changing the switch will have no effect until the unit has
been re-powered.
RAID Mode Switches M2, M1, M0 (SW1:3 – SW1-5)
The RAID Mode switches define what type of RAID will be initialized
when the unit is powered up while the RAID Mode button is held down.
Each type of RAID has different properties and requirements, as follows:
Raid Mode
JBOD (Individual
drives)
* FACTORY DEFAULT
SETTING
0
1 or 10

5
CLONE
LARGE
1 Audible alarm is recommended at all times.
2 EZ mode has no effect in JBOD mode.
3 Disabling EZ for RAID 0 and LARGE is strongly recommended.
JBOD Mode (Individual Drives)
Number of drives: at least 1
Unit capacity: N/A (100% of each individual drive)
Spares: no
Fault tolerance: none
JBOD mode offers all connected units to the host adapter, no RAID is
defined at all.
NOTE: JBOD mode requires a SATA controller featuring Port Multiplier support for eSATA
connections.
NOTE: Optical drives can only be configured as JBOD using an eSATA connection.
