Produkt overview
The cenmate 802RU is a robust external enclosure for expanding storage capacity and enhancing data protection. It supports up to two 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or solid-state drives, with a maximum total capacity of 40TB (20TB per drive). It features multiple RAID modes (Normal, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1) for flexible data management and offers high-speed connectivity via USB 3.0 (up to 5Gbps) and eSATA (up to 6Gbps).

Opsætning
1. Drevinstallation
- Sørg for, at kabinettet er slukket og frakoblet din computer.
- Gently pull the drive trays out from the front of the enclosure.
- For 3.5-inch drives: Align the drive with the tray and slide it in until it clicks into place. The enclosure supports tool-less installation for 3.5-inch drives.
- For 2.5-inch drives/SSDs: Secure the drive to the tray using the provided screws (if applicable, not explicitly mentioned in product details but standard for 2.5" drives in 3.5" bays).
- Slide the loaded drive trays back into the enclosure until they are fully seated.

2. Tilslutning til computer
- Connect one end of the appropriate data cable (USB-A to USB-C, USB-C to USB-C, or eSATA) to the corresponding port on the back of the enclosure.
- Connect the other end of the data cable to an available port on your computer.
3. Strømtilslutning
- Connect the DC 12V power adapter to the power input port on the back of the enclosure.
- Sæt strømadapteren i en stikkontakt.
- Turn on the power switch on the enclosure. The drive indicator lights should illuminate.

Drift
Indstilling af RAID-niveau
The cenmate 802RU supports four RAID modes configured via DIP switches on the device. Vigtig: Changing RAID modes will erase all data on the drives. Back up your data before making any changes. After changing DIP switch settings, power cycle the enclosure for the new mode to take effect.
Image: A detailed diagram illustrating the DIP switch configurations for Normal, JBOD, RAID 0, and RAID 1 modes.
- Normal tilstand: (Switch 1 & 2 down) Each hard disk operates independently. Data is transferred individually to each drive.
- JBOD Mode: (Switch 1 down & Switch 2 up) Spans both hard drives to create a single large volume. This mode offers no performance or data redundancy.
- RAID 0-tilstand: (Switch 1 up & Switch 2 down) Provides enhanced performance by stripping data across both drives. This combines both drives for faster read/write operations but offers no data redundancy.
- RAID 1-tilstand: (Switch 1 & 2 up) Provides data protection by mirroring data across both drives. If one drive fails, data can be recovered from the other.
Note: When replacing a drive in a RAID configuration, you may need to reset the enclosure to NORMAL mode, then reconfigure to the desired RAID mode and rebuild the array. Consult your operating system's disk management tools for initial drive formatting and partitioning after setting the RAID mode.
Auto Sleep-funktion
The enclosure features an auto-sleep function to reduce power consumption and minimize wear on the hard drives. After 30 minutes of inactivity, the drives will enter a sleep state. They will automatically wake up upon data access.

Kompatibilitet
The cenmate 802RU is compatible with various devices and operating systems, including Windows and Mac OS.

Opretholdelse
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your cenmate 802RU enclosure:
- Keep the enclosure in a clean, dust-free environment.
- Avoid blocking the ventilation openings, especially the rear fan.
- Rengør ydersiden med en blød, tør klud. Brug ikke flydende rengøringsmidler.
- Ensure proper airflow around the unit to prevent overheating. The enclosure includes a built-in cooling fan.

Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your cenmate 802RU enclosure, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Computeren genkender ikke kabinettet:
- Ensure all cables (data and power) are securely connected.
- Try a different USB or eSATA port on your computer.
- Test with a different data cable.
- Kontroller, at kabinettet er tændt.
- Check your computer's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac OS) to see if the drives are detected but uninitialized or unformatted.
- RAID configuration issues:
- Ensure DIP switches are set correctly for the desired RAID mode.
- Always power cycle the enclosure after changing DIP switch settings.
- Remember that changing RAID modes will erase data. If you are reconfiguring, ensure drives are empty or data is backed up.
- If a RAID array fails, check individual drive health. For RAID 1, replace the faulty drive and rebuild the array according to your operating system's instructions.
- Drives overheating:
- Ensure the enclosure is placed in a well-ventilated area.
- Do not block the rear cooling fan or ventilation slots.
- If using for extended periods with heavy load, consider additional ambient cooling.
- Langsomme dataoverførselshastigheder:
- Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.0 (or higher) port on your computer. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will result in significantly slower speeds.
- Verify your computer's drivers for USB 3.0/eSATA are up to date.
- The actual speed may vary depending on the drives used and system load.
