The Reset to Default option allows you to restore settings to the factory defaults. After clicking Reset to
Default, you will need to click Confirm to verify.
5.7.4 Config Import & Export
The config import & export function allows you to import or export a firmware config file. DO NOT USE
THIS FUNCTION WITHOUT SPECIFIC INSTRUCTION FROM WIEBETECH TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
5.7.5 Shutdown
The Shutdown feature allows you to shutdown or reboot the RTX-UR's RAID controller and LCD
controller. Note: Choosing Shutdown will not shut down the physical components of the RTX-UR (fans,
drives, power supply). However, it will flush data from the cache to the physical drives, which is
recommended before physically shutting down using the power switch on the unit to prevent data
corruption.

Quick Set-up of RAID
Follow these instructions to quickly create a RAID set using the GUI:
a. Click on
Volume
Config, then
b. Choose Create. Select the RAID level you would like to use (usually
saying "Disk is not enough" you'll need to go to
in the Volume Group, and press the
c. Click on
Select
PD. Select all the hard drives
you wish to put into the new RAID.* You'll need
to confirm your choice.
d. Next, go to
User Data Volume
choose Create. Select the capacity you want
for this UDV. (See note at right.)
e. The rest of the details can be left at the
default setting. You'll need to confirm several times.
f. You should wind up back at the main UDV screen. The RAID will begin initializing, and progress
will be displayed in the R% column. Depending on the RAID type and size, the initialization could
take several hours. The R% number will disappear when the initialization has finished. Note: some
RAID types initialize almost instantaneously, so you may not see a progress meter.
g. Select the check box next to the UDV you just created and then click Attach. If you created more than
one volume, you'll need to repeat this step for each one.
h. Use the default settings on the next screen. You'll need to confirm your selections.
* With the RTX400-UR, the number of drives contained in the RAID group can be as high as eight using
the Infiniband expansion port on the rear of the unit. This port allows you to connect another 4-bay JBOD
eSATA enclosure (e.g. RTX400-SJ), or multiple 1-bay eSATA drive enclosures and add those additional
drives to the RTX400-UR's RAID. Note: These additional drives must be added at the time the RAID is
first created.
5.9 Connecting to your computer
a. First, make sure your computer is turned off. Plugging a SCSI cable into a live host could cause
damage to the host. Besides, since SCSI is not hot-swappable your computer would not see the RTX
until it is restarted.

NOTE: If the total capacity of your volume exceeds
2TB, it is likely you will encounter problems using that
volume on most current operating systems. If that is the
case, you will most likely wish to divide the capacity into
two or more volumes of less than 2TB each. Please
see the section labeled, "Working with volumes > 2TB."
