NOTE: The CADB-U34 is preconfigured in BIG / Spanning mode to allow the
four hard drives to function as two singular volumes, each with the capacity

Using Synchronized Sleep Mode
In Synchronized Sleep mode, your CADB-U34 senses when the computer to
which it is connected is in standby mode, hibernate mode, or is turned off.
The CADB-U34 will go to "sleep," stopping disk rotation and saving energy.
To Change the Synchronized
Sleep mode settings, make sure
the unit is on and booted up,
then use the switch on the back
of the unit labeled "System
Startup." (see right)
When this switch indicates "ON",
synchronized sleep mode is on.

Troubleshooting
LED light indicator does not turn on
Make sure the power adapter is securely connected to a working electrical
outlet. Secondly, make sure the USB cable is inserted correctly into the hard
drive and the computer. Turn on the power switch (page 7).
Computer does not detect hard drive
Make sure the USB cable is securely connected. If this still does not work,
attach another known working device and working cable into the USB port
on the computer. If the known working device is not detected, the problem
could be your computer's USB port. If the port and cable both work and the
hard drive is still not being detected, contact customer support.
