A. Installing the CalDigit VR
The CalDigit VR is ready to use out of the box.
1. Select the desired interface, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, USB
2.0 or eSATA. A FireWire 800 and eSATA cable are included.
2. Connect the power supply to the CalDigit VR, then connect
the desired interface cable.
Note: If you would like to use eSATA, there are two
options. If you already have an eSATA controller
card or port simply connect the eSATA cable. If you
have a Mac or PC workstation that has internal SATA
port (late model Mac Pros) you can use the included
eSATA extender*. For installation instructions please
refer to the CalDigit eSATA Extender manual. If your
workstation does not have an internal SATA port and
you would like to use eSATA with the CalDigit VR
you can purchase one of CalDigit's eSATA controller
cards (FASTA-1ex, FASTA-2e or FASTA-4e). For more
information visit www.caldigit.com.

3. Press the CalDigit VR's power button. The CalDigit VR will
boot. You should see the CalDigit VR mount and it's ready
to use.
4. To change the RAID level or to customize your CalDigit
VR use the LCD or the RAID Tool software. For further
instructions see the Conguring your RAID section of this
manual.
*The eSATA extender included with the CalDigit VR does
not support hot plugging of additional eSATA devices, even
though there are 2 ports. The computer must be shut down
prior to adding additional devices. In order to use the eSATA
hot plugging capabilities with the CalDigit VR, you will need
to utilize either the FASTA-1ex, FASTA-2e or FASTA-4e eSATA
controller cards.
