Manual RAID
Your options to select the level of RAID are predicated upon the number of disks in your array. For example, a
three-disk configuration allows you to select from RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 5. A four- or five-disk configuration
offers RAID 0, RAID 5, or RAID 6.
Adding a spare: If you intend to create an array with a spare drive, you must leave at least one hard drive bay
free. For example, a four-disk RAID 6 array with spare would require that you create the RAID 6 with the first
four disks (from left to right) before moving to the next section to add the fifth hard disk as the spare.
1. Click the Manage button to launch the RAID Setup Wizard and Standard for a manual configuration.
2. Select the disks for your array by checking their respective boxes. Click Next.
3. Choose a RAID level. Clicking the RAID mode's button will give you an explanation of its strengths and
weaknesses. If you are reconfiguring the RAID, the new mode will erase files on existing shares but your
Dashboard configuration will not be affected.
