Quick Volume / RAID Setup

Quick Volume and RAID Setup are the fastest ways to prepare a RAID set and volume
set. You only need a few simple keystrokes to complete. Although disk drives of
different capacities may be used in the RAID set, the MR4UT will use the smallest
capacity of the disk drive as the capacity of all disk drives in the RAID set.
The Quick Volume and RAID Setup option creates a RAID set with the following
properties :
1. All of the physical disk drives are contained in a RAID set.
2. The RAID levels associated with hot spare, capacity, and stripe size are selected
during the configuration process.
3. A single volume set is created and consumes all or a portion of the disk capacity
available in this RAID set.

RAID Set Setup
Note.1
The MR4UT does not set a default RAID level, please set your desired RAID level after the device boots up.
Note 1: Default Password: 0000
Note 2: The number of physical drives in a specific RAID set determines the RAID levels
that can be implemented with the RAID set.
Note 3: The 2TB capacity limitation requires OS support. Capacity over 2TB requires GPT disk
under Microsoft Windows operating systems, which includes Windows XP 64 bit, Vista (32bit or
64bit), Server 2003 (32bit or 64bit) and Server 2008 (32bit or 64bit). MAC and Linux supports over
2TB of capacity. If over 2TB capacity is not supported, multiple volumes smaller than 2TB is
required.
Note 4: "FGrnd Init" stands for "Foreground Initialization", while "BGrnd Init" stands for
"Background initialization". Foreground initialization allows a faster initialization process, where
the array could not be accessed until the initialization is complete. Background initialization
allows array access while the unit is performing initialization, minimizing data access downtime.
Note 5: Please refer to the enclosed CD for the detail user's manual.
Note 6: For Remote Management the IP address will be displayed in the LCD Display located
on the front of the unit. The default use name is: admin. The default password is: 0000.
