System Configuration Using the LCD Display

After connecting the equipment and pressing the Power button, the
system boots, loads the driver, and mounts the volume. Then you can
configure the NAS device using the options in the LCD display.
At the prompt Config Disks? in the LCD display, press Select to
S 1

choose the disk configuration. The following options are available:
• Do not set disk configuration—If you have created disk
volume configuration or plan to create multiple disk
configurations, select not to initialize the disk drives.
• Single Disk—Uses the disk drives as single disk volumes.
When a drive failure occurs, all data is lost.
• JBOD (Linear)—JBOD lets you combine multiple disks of
mixed capacities into a single logical storage device. The
capacity of the JBOD array is the sum of the total capacities of
the individual component disks (that is, it does not have the
limitation of RAID 1 where you lose some capacity when using
mixed sized disks). JBOD offers no performance increase
compared to the component disks. It has lower reliability than
the component disks, as the failure of a single disk results, in
general, in the failure of the whole array.
• RAID 0—Distributes data across several disks in a way which
gives improved speed and full capacity. All data on all disks will
be lost if any one disk fails.
• RAID 1—Uses two disks (mirrored disks) which each store the
same data, so that data is not lost as long as one disk survives.
Total capacity of the array equals the capacity of the smaller
disk.
• RAID 5—Combines three or more disks in a way that protects
data against loss of any one disk.
• RAID 6—Combines four or more disks in a way that protects
data against loss of any two disks.
