Operating Tips and Precautions
Power Up/Down
Powering up the unit could take about a minute. Power down the unit by pressing
the power button on the front twice. This assures an orderly shutdown. For other
power down and disk spin-down options, refer to the ReadyNAS 1500 User Manual.
Ventilation
Four large capacity high speed disks can produce considerable heat. Be sure to
install the unit so that the fan exhausts are unobstructed.
Using a UPS
An uninterruptible power supply protects your unit, and can enable automatic shut
down in an orderly fashion when there is an interruption in power. The ReadyNAS
1500 User Manual provides instructions on using a UPS.
Redundancy and Expansion
A one-disk device has no redundancy and provides no protection from a disk failure.
However, if and when you feel the need for redundancy, simply hot-add a new disk
with at least the capacity of the first disk (there's no need to power off the unit).
Depending on the size of the disk, within a few hours, your data volume will be fully
redundant. The process occurs in the background, so access to the unit is not
interrupted. Additionally, as your storage requirement grows, you can hot add more
disks for "horizontal" expansion, or replace your disks with larger capacity ones, and
X-RAID2 automatically and incrementally expands your storage "vertically." X-
RAID2 lets you do this without reformatting your disks and shuffling your data back
and forth.
