Note:
Building the RAID array will take about 10 hours per TB of drive space. During this time, the LCD will display "RAID
ARRAY x Resyncing" and file transfers will be slower than usual. Do not turn off the TeraStation until the array is
built, or the process will start over at reboot.

The [Confirm Operation] screen will appear. Enter the displayed number and click [Apply] within 60 seconds to
continue.

Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
You have configured a RAID 5 array with 3 drives. Refer to page 15 to create a volume on the array. Use [Disk
Management] on Windows to format the volume, then connect to the formatted volume with the iSCSI Hard Disk
Connection Tool and use it as a local drive on your computer. For best results, configure the remaining hard drive as a
hot spare (page 25).
