3. Hardware Requirements and Precautions

1. Computers or servers with SATA I & SATA II & SATA III.
2. Hard drive with SATA I & SATA II & SATA III
3. You are strongly advised to set the storage mode (the default is the Independent mode) before using the iR2622.
4. The product allows the user to simultaneously utilize two hard drives manufactured by different companies. However, if the user expects better efficiency, we strongly recommend the users to use hard drives manufactured by the same manufacturer.
5. Please make sure that the two hard drives are free from bad blocks or defects prior to installation in order to avoid system crashes or data loss.

6. The actual storage capacity of iR2622 recognized by the system may differ from the total capacity stated on the hard drives combined once the drives have been formatted.

7. It is highly recommended for users to back up important data contained within the iR2622 unit on a regular basis or whenever the user feels necessary to a remote or a separate storage device. Stardom will not be responsible for any lost of data caused during the use of the unit or the recovery of the data lost.

Note :

Once the drive mode configuration has been completed, re-configuration 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.

4. Hardware Installation Procedure

Please follow the instructions below to complete the hardware installation.

Step 1 Open the package and take out the product making sure that all the enclosed contents are not damaged or missing. Should you find damages or missing contents, please contact your supplier immediately.

Step 2 Place the system on a stable surface. Ensure that it is well ventilated without blockage to the vent and kept away from areas near water and damage prone areas.

Step 3 Use the key included in the accessory kit and inserted into the key access opening to eject the removable drive tray latch and extract the removable drive tray.

Step 4 Mount your hard drives onto the removable drive tray and secure it with the screws included in the accessory kit to avoid any damage to the hard drive due to accidental movements.

Step 5 When the hard drive installation has been completed, insert the hard drive tray into the system horizontally and secure the latch into place.

Step 6 Use the preferred cable included to connect your computer to the relative interface connection on the iR2622 unit.

※ Note :

1. RS232 Port and RS232 Cable: Provides hardware status monitoring to industrial control system or IPC via RS232.
2. We do not recommend users to disassemble the device without proper instructions and authorization. The manufacture warranty will not cover the damages caused by unauthorized disassembling.
3. To prevent the device from malfunction, please make sure the device is connected with a direct and dedicated power connection of a stable power input.

5. Setting the Hard Drive Array Mode

Please select the RAID mode with the jumper located at the back panel. The original default is RAID 1, still there are three pins at the back panel for RAID mode selection: RAID 0 mode by setting the jumper on the bottom of the two pins. RAID 1 mode by setting the jumper on the top of the two pins.

1. RAID 1 Mode

1). Place two new hard drives into iR2622 and strongly suggest you to use two identical h drives to get the equal capacity. If the capacity is different, iR2622 is downward to the small hard drive capacity.
2). Under RAID 1 mode, two hard drives have the identical information as one to mirror to the other one, therefore each of the hard drive failed is still able to function normally. When you replace the failed hard disk to the new one the system automatically rebuilding the data to the newly place hard disk.

2. RAID 0 Mode

1). Place two new hard drives into iR2622 and strongly suggest you to use two identical hard drives to get the equal capacity. If the capacity is different, iR2622 is downward to the small hard drive capacity.
2). Under RAID 0 mode, capacity is add up to a one big volume, also with the feature of faster read/write performance efficient.

6. Computer Set Up

When the hardware setup for iR2622 is complete, you are now ready to turn the machine on.

After the hardware installation is complete, the iR2622 will be treated as one single hard drive. Set the hard drive to AUTO in the computer's BIOS. When the computer is turned on, the system will retrieve the following information:

1. In iR2622, the installed hard drive can be detected by the Device Manager of Computer Management for Windows.

2. Customers can choose to format the hard drive by using the Disk Management tool of the operating system before using the iR2622.

8. Data Rebuilding Operation

The hard drive Hot Swap and Auto Rebuilding functions are available.

Off-line Back up When the data is stored within iR2622, the user can remove one of the hard drives from iR2622 as back up drive for data such as system operation file, secured files, seldom modified files or image and music files. The user can periodically insert the hard drive back into iR2622 to execute automatic backup to protect the system from being hit by computer virus or to avoid risk of having both hard drives failing at the same time.

When one of the two hard drives fails in the iR2622 system, the system will alarm the hard drive failure message both on the LCD display screen and in the monitoring software. The user can remove the failed hard drive from the system while the system is still in operation without shutting down the machine. If the failed hard drive is replaced shortly, the system will automatically execute the Auto Rebuilding function without affecting the system operation and without any operation command from the user.

When the iR2622 detects a hard drive missing or a hard drive failure, the Buzzer will start and the LCD display screen will display the following messages:

RAID-1 degraded

Pri : X Sec : O

After removing the failed hard drive and replacing with a new hard drive, if the hard drive is properly installed, the LCD display screen will display the following messages:

After few seconds of installing the new hard drive, the LCD display screen will display the c rebuilding progress:

10. Frequently Asked Questions

Unstable system after connecting iR2622

Q1. After installing iR2622, we are unable to start the computer or the computer can not locate iR2622 upon startup.

A : 1. Please check whether the readings on the iR2622 LCD display screen appear normal.
2. Please check whether the SATA Cable connection cables are properly connected to the computer system and whether SATA drives are functioning normally.
3. 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.

Q2. When the iR2622 is in use, the computer system is functioning normally but the iR2622 access speed is abnormal.

A: Please first check whether the iR2622 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 specification these cables complies with the requirements.
2. If both the lengths and specification of the cables are checked out ok, please turn off iR2622 and remove the hard drive from iR2622. Test the hard drive directly with the computer system since it might be the bad sectors in the hard drive that are causing t longer than normal system down time.

Hard Drive Failure

Q1. Under the mirror mode (RAID 1), what will be the system's total storage capacity when adding a brand new hard drive?

A: 1. The total storage capacity for iR2622 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.

Q2. Why does the error message appear when I installed the second hard drive?

A: 1. The storage capacity of the second hard drive must be larger than the first hard drive. Otherwise, iR2622 can not rebuild the new hard drive.

About Auto Rebuilding Function

Q1. What will happen if we turn off the computer's power while iR2622 is still executing data auto rebuilding?

A: Under the 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.

Q2. Is it possible to lose any part of the data during the data auto rebuilding?

A: 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, iR2622 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.
