Taurus Super-S LCM

2.2 Replacing Hard Drives

When a drive fails, the corresponding HDD LED will light up red. If only one drive is defective and

the RAID mode is set to RAID 1, the data can still be accessed, however, we strongly recommend

replacing the faulty drive immediately to assure continued proper backup and data safety.

If more than one drive fails at the same time or if the RAID mode is set to RAID 0, the data will be

lost and the system can not be accessed again until the drive(s) have been replaced.

1. Check the HDD LED. The corresponding LED will light up red, indicating the defective drive.

2. Turn off the Taurus and remove the power supply from the wall socket.

3. Open the enclosure and replace the faulty hard drive with a new one.

4. Finish the assembly, connect the power supply and turn on the power.

5. For RAID 1, the RAID array will be rebuilt automatically. During this process, the Rebuild

LED will be flashing until all data is backed up. Rebuilding the RAID array will take several

hours, depending on the drive capacity.

6. For RAID 0, after turning on the power, go to the RAID setup menu, select RAID 0 and

confirm the settings. After the restart, simply format the drives.

Note

We recommend not turning off the power during the rebuild process but if the process is

interrupted, it will continue rebuilding the data as soon as the power is turned back on.

2.3 Connection to Computer

A few precautions and notes when using your external storage drive:

• Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions.

• Do not cover the enclosure's ventilation holes.

• Before connecting the device, install the hard drives and set your preferred RAID mode.

• For the safe removal of your drive and to ensure that no data is lost, always follow the correct

unplug procedure for external hardware (e.g.: Eject the drive before removal).

• In order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2TB, both the hardware and Operating

System need to have the capacity to support large volumes (e.g.: WinVista 32bit/64bit or Mac

OS 10.4 and above) or the >2TB option should be disabled.

• When the computer goes into stand-by mode, the hard drives in the external enclosure will spin

down as well.

• Only one interface can be used at any given time.

2.4 About Data Backup

To protect your files and help prevent the loss of your data, we strongly recommend that you keep

two copies of your data, one copy on your Taurus and a second copy either on your internal drive

or another storage media such as CD, DVD, Tape or an additional external drive.

Any loss or corruption of data while using the Taurus is the sole responsibility of the user, and

under no circumstances will the manufacturer be held liable for compensation or the recovery of

this data.
