Precautions and Requirements 1. The XL-RAID-SATA-USB can be used with two hard disks that are of different models and storage capacities initially. However, for improved performance, we recommend that both disks should have the same specifications and capacity from the same manufacturer. It is also necessary that the backup drive be the same or bigger in capacity than the source drive under the RAID1 model. - Page 13 Step 4 Connect the cables included to the appropriate ports of the XL-RAID-SATA-USB and your PC system.

0000) Changing RAID Level and Scheduling The XL-RAID-SATA-USB offers two RAID levels – RAID 0 and RAID 1. You may choose the RAID level suitable for your needs. The factory default is at RAID 1. Note : 1. Please backup all data on hard disks before changing RAID level. -
Page 15: 3.2.2 Schedule Backup Settings
To avoid this problem, the Schedule Backup function provided by the XL-RAID-SATA-USB allows the user to define a backup interval of multiple days. At the scheduled intervals the RAID will back up the data from the Primary Disk to the Secondary Disk. This means the data in the disk array system does not have to be mirrored constantly at all times. -

3. To cancel the Schedule Backup function, set the days to “00”. The system will revert to the RAID 1 mode. Change Password Setting To prevent unauthorized system settings, the XL-RAID-SATA-USB incorporates a password feature to help administrators protect their data.
