Note:
After the RAID array is changed, the TeraStation will perfom a RAID check that will take about 5 hours per TB. File
transfers will be slower during this period. While the "RAID ARRAY x Resyncing" message is displayed on the LCD
screen, do not turn off the TeraStation. If you turn it off, the RAID check will start over.

The [Confirm Operation] screen will appear. Enter the number shown in the [Confirmation Number] field within
60 seconds, and click [Apply].

Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
You have now set up a RAID 5 array. Refer to page 26 to configure a hot spare with the remaining drive. Turn to page
