2. Connect the RocketStor to the RR600 series HBA using an eSATA cable.
3. Connect the power adapter to the DC-In port (back of the RocketStor).
4. Press the power button on the rear of the RocketStor 5315. The bottom
panel of the storage dock will emit blue light when fully powered on.
5. Each SATA bay LED will glow blue when a drive is installed and powered on.
6. The temperature and SMART attributes of each drive are displayed under
“SHI” of the HighPoint RAID Management interface (WebGUI).
7. Before removing a drive, first use the “unplug” function of the
Management interface, then power off the drive using the corresponding
Power/LED button.
Note: The surface temperature of some 3.5" hard disks may exceed 50
degrees C after extended use - approach with caution. Carefully assess the
surface temperature of any hard disk before removal. If you suspect the
temperature is too high, please power down the target drive using the
bay's independent power button. Allow the drive to cool for several
minutes before removal.
