INTRODUCTION

Packaging Information

The StorCase Technology InfoStation external expansion chassis is shipped in a container
designed to provide protection and prevent damage during shipment, as confirmed by the
International Safe Transit Association (ISTA Procedure 1A). The InfoStation was carefully
inspected before and during the packing procedure at the factory. Evidence of any damage
to the InfoStation should be reported to the shipper immediately.

If the wrong InfoStation model has been received, please call your reseller or StorCase at
[phone] to arrange for a Return Material Authorization (RMA). StorCase cannot ac­cept returns which do not display an RMA number on the outside of the package. Return the
unit with all the original packing materials.

Before removing any component from its packaging, discharge any static electricity by
touching a properly grounded metal object.

Serial Number

The InfoStation is labeled with a serial number. This number must be reported to the StorCase
Customer Service Representative in order to receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
for warranty claims. Locate the serial number label and record the number in the space
provided below.

NOTES: The installation, configuration, and use of the StorCase InfoStation chassis

The high performance InfoStation 5-bay SATA 3Gbps RAID enclosure (P/N S11J104) is
designed to support 3.5" SATA 3Gbps drives for RAID applications, and is downward­compatible with earlier SATA technology.

The 5-bay chassis comes equipped with (5) removable drive carriers. This enclosure is
constructed of corrosion-resistant steel and each include (1) 300W power supply module and
(1) cooling fan (80 CFM).

The chassis supports JBOD and RAID levels 0, 1, and 10. Hot spare support is included. LED
indicators at each drive bay provide additional User feedback for drive activity, drive readiness
and drive faults.

The InfoStation also incorporates "Soft Start" circuitry which eliminates in-rush current to each
of the installed drives during spin-up, as well as avoid power arcing during drive insertion.

Using a modular approach supported by redundant features and hot swapping capabilities,
the InfoStation will provide continued data availability and allow for ease of maintenance and
minimal system down time.

servicing to qualified service personnel!

requires a certain level of expertise and experience on the part of the user/
integrator. Since there are many configuration options and variables (ie. host
platforms, applications, etc), only general/typical configuration guidelines will
be discussed in this User's Guide.

This User's Guide describes the steps required for installing drive(s) into the InfoStation
external expansion chassis. This guide is intended to supplement documentation provided with
the host computer system, the operating system, and the drive(s) to be installed within the
InfoStation.

The InfoStation is shipped in a container designed to provide protection and prevent damage
during shipment, as confirmed by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA Procedure
1A).

The drive carriers are individually packed in a special foam insert within the InfoStation shipping
carton. Simply remove them from the foam insert when ready for use.

Installing a Drive into the Drive Carrier

NOTE: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required for this procedure.

1. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier. Slide the drive towards the rear of the
carrier , so that the I/O connector on the drive lines up with the rear of the carrier.
Drive(s) must be bottom-mounted into the drive carrier(s) using four (4) Phillips Flat
Hd. screws.

2. After the drive(s) have been installed in to the drive carrier(s), carefully insert the
carrier(s) back into the chassis (refer to section "Inserting a Drive into the Chassis"
for further information).
