9.4. Installing new drives.

Should the desire ever come to install a complete set of newer and/or larger drives, the procedure is

simple.

1. Follow the steps outline above in the section above for changing a failed drive. Except, do this

for all three drives then re-assemble the RP2.

2. Install the RP2 in a RAIDFrame.

3. Follow the procedure above for changing your RAID configuration to establish the RAID.

4. Initialize and format the new volume in your operating system. If you're using HRDM2, you

need to re-register the new volume with HRDM2.

10. Emergency (Field) Access to RP2 data from outside of a

RAIDFrame.

One of the great capabilities of the RP2 is the ability for you to access your volume in the field and

without a RAIDFrame bay. Original RAIDPacs supported this as well but some dis-assembly was

required and only an iSATA connection was available.

The RP2 requires no dis-assembly. It provides both a SATA connection as well as USB 3.0 (works

with USB 2.0 also). And, a standard hard drive MOLEX power plug allows you to plug it into almost

any standard PC power supply.

computer as the computer you're plugging it into is using. However, that power supply may not be

rated to power the computer and your RP2, DAMAGE to your power supply could occur.

Because the RP2 contains its own RAID controller which presents the whole RAID to the host as a

single volume, no special driver is needed. It's just a HUGE USB 3.0 thumb drive (for a giant's thumb)

but it needs the external supply voltage from a computer type of power supply.

An iSATA port is also available to connect the unit with if USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 are not practical.

Because iSATA can be more tricky to connect, we suggest trying USB 3.0 first. Only one or the other

maybe connected.

For the safest possible connection. Power off the computer and power supply. Make the connections

you need to the RP2. Then power everything on. Hot plugging the field connections on the RP2 is not

recommended.

WARNING! It will usually work to power the RP2 from the same
