Important Notice

  1. When connected to the computer system, it’s prohibited to remove, insert or swap the hard drive while data transfer is being performed.
  2. It’s prohibited to change the positioning of the drives once the initial installation has been completed as the changes made to the drive positions may destroy the RAID formation.
  3. The product needs to be restarted after adding or changing the RAID mode, and the update is guaranteed to be the new RAID mode.
  4. When the Notebook which support USB PD function is only connected to Rocpro U35 can provide up to 24W (12V/2A) power supply, but if then connected to other power supply such like the original Notebook power supply, Notebook will automatically judge which one will be the main power source, usually the one which can provide more Wattage will be. At this time, U35 may be interrupted and re-identified by the Notebook. Therefore, before connecting to other power supplies, please make sure that there are no data accessed between Notebook and U35.
  5. U35 can only provide 24W at most, which is different from the original Notebook power supply. It mainly to extend the Notebook’s usage time. Take Macbook Pro 13″ as an example, the original power supply is 60W, assuming it take 2 hours for it to fully charge the battery , use U35 might need three times time. Therefore, if user need to use Notebook for a long time, it is recommended to connect the original power supply first before connect U35.
  6. Whenever turning off or unplugging the U35 from your computer system becomes necessary, always remember to safely remove it from your operating system first
  7. It is highly recommended for users to back up important data contained within the U35 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.

If this occurs, you may press the mute button at the rear of the system to shut o the audio alarm and power o the system immediately if in the allowed operational state, and then re-power on the system to double check and see if in fact the indicated hard drive has malfunctioned. If the problem persists, please turn o the system and follow the directions below :

  1. Remove the drive tray containing the malfunctioned hard drive and disassemble the hard drive from drive tray.
  2. Mount the new hard drive onto the tray and insert it back to the empty drive position of the U35, then push the latch into place making sure it is secured and locked.
  3. In RAID 5 mode, when you turn the system on, the hard drive status indicator of the replacement drive will interchangeably blink red and purple to inform that the data is being rebuilt to the replacement drive. During data rebuild, you may operate the U35 as normal. When the indicator stops, the data rebuild process has been completed.

System Temperature Overheat and Fan Failure Management

If the alarm indicator has lit up red and the audio alarm sounds, this could mean that either a system fan has stopped operating entirely or the system temperature has exceeded over the default temperature of 55° C When this occurs, you may press the mute button at the rear of the system to shut o the audio alarm and power o the system immediately if in the allowed operational state to let the system cool.
