Remarks

  • In case the circuit board has to be replaced for repair, make sure to update the firmware of the new circuit board prior to connecting the hard drives, otherwise the RAID array has to be re-created and all existing data will be lost.
  • The firmware has to be updated using the USB connection.

Warnings

  • Never turn off your unit during the firmware update procedure. This may damage your device! If the upgrade fails (e.g. power supply failure during firmware update), you may not be able to operate your device anymore.
  • This firmware is only for inXtron's standard products and specifically the model(s) as mentioned above. DO NOT use this firmware for any other devices!
