Particularities in Single Mode
In Single Mode it is not neccessary to initialise the hard drives in any case. This

After Installation of a Set
of the device after being shut down with the RAID-Mode-Con-
the Enclosure is
testing the hard drives and prepares them for RAID-operation: it overwrites parti-
tion-tablesifneccessary.Ifthisprocesstakesmorethanafewsecondsthedevice
is not able to create a RAID. This means the hard drives differ too much regarding
characteristics and therefore do not work synchronously. Such hard drives can not
be used in that pairing for this particular RAID. For this reason we recommend to
the same hard drives as described under Usage of Hard Drives (P.16).
