4.1. RAID-Konfiguration
The ORICO 9558RU3 supports various RAID modes to optimize for speed, redundancy, or a combination of both. RAID configuration can be performed using the control switches on the rear panel or via the ORICO HW RAID Manager software.
Available RAID Modes:
- RAID 0 (Striping): Combines drives for maximum speed and capacity, but offers no data redundancy.
- RAID 1 (Spiegelung): Duplicates data across drives for redundancy, reducing usable capacity by half.
- RAID 3 (Striping mit dedizierter Parität): Data is striped across drives, with one dedicated drive for parity information. Offers good performance and data redundancy.
- RAID 5 (Striping mit verteilter Parität): Data and parity information are striped across all drives. Offers good performance and data redundancy with efficient storage.
- RAID 10 (RAID 1+0): Combines mirroring and striping for both performance and redundancy. Requires at least four drives.
- Combine (JBOD): Drives are concatenated to form one large volume without striping or redundancy.
- Löschmodus: Resets the RAID configuration.
Hardware RAID Configuration (Rear Panel Switches)
- Ausschalten das Gehäuse.
- Locate the DIP switches on the rear panel (refer to Figure 6).
- Set the DIP switches according to the desired RAID mode as indicated in the diagram.
- Press and hold the 'SET' button for approximately 5 seconds until the indicator lights confirm the change.
- Einschalten the enclosure. The new RAID configuration will be applied.

Software RAID Configuration (ORICO HW RAID Manager)
For advanced RAID management and monitoring, use the ORICO HW RAID Manager software. This software is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems.
- Ensure the enclosure is connected and powered on.
- Download and install the ORICO HW RAID Manager software from the official ORICO webWebsite.
- Launch the software. It will detect the connected enclosure.
- Follow the on-screen instructions within the software to configure RAID, view event logs, or manage disk information.

4.2. Energieverwaltung
The enclosure features an Intelligent Sleep Function. If the device does not receive data for 5 minutes, or if no data cable is connected for more than 5 minutes, it will enter Intelligent Sleep Mode to conserve energy and prolong HDD lifespan. The device will automatically wake up upon data access.
4.3. LED-Anzeigen
Each drive bay has an LED indicator that shows HDD activity. A blue light typically indicates power, while a flashing light indicates data access.
5. Wartung
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your ORICO 9558RU3 enclosure:
- Um die Wärmeableitung zu unterstützen, sollte das Gehäuse an einem gut belüfteten Ort aufgestellt werden.
- Reinigen Sie die Außenseite mit einem weichen, trockenen Tuch. Vermeiden Sie flüssige Reinigungsmittel.
- Do not block the ventilation fan on the rear panel.
- Setzen Sie das Gerät keinen extremen Temperaturen, Feuchtigkeit oder direkter Sonneneinstrahlung aus.
- Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to prevent power interruptions.
6. Fehlerbehebung
If you encounter issues with your ORICO 9558RU3, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Gehäuse wird vom Computer nicht erkannt:
- Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle Kabel (Strom- und USB-Kabel) fest angeschlossen sind.
- Prüfen Sie, ob das Gehäuse eingeschaltet ist.
- Versuchen Sie, eine Verbindung zu einem anderen USB-Anschluss an Ihrem Computer herzustellen.
- Testen Sie es mit einem anderen USB-Kabel.
- Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre Betriebssystemtreiber auf dem neuesten Stand sind.
- Hard drives not detected:
- Confirm that hard drives are properly seated in their bays.
- Check if the hard drives are functional by testing them individually.
- If using RAID, ensure the RAID configuration is correctly set and initialized. New drives may need to be formatted or partitioned by your operating system.
- Langsame Datenübertragungsgeschwindigkeiten:
- Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihr Computer mit einem USB-3.0-Anschluss verbunden ist. USB-2.0-Anschlüsse führen zu geringeren Übertragungsgeschwindigkeiten.
- Überprüfen Sie den Zustand Ihrer Festplatten.
- Consider the performance characteristics of your chosen RAID mode.
- Enclosure enters sleep mode unexpectedly:
- The Intelligent Sleep Function activates after 5 minutes of inactivity. This is normal behavior.
- If it sleeps during active use, ensure the USB data cable is firmly connected and not faulty.
