Building the RAID array will take about 10 hours per TB of drive space. During this time, the LCD will display "RAID
ARRAY x Resyncing" and file transfers will be slower than usual. Do not turn off the TeraStation until the array is
built, or the process will start over at reboot.

The Confirm Operation screen will appear. Enter the displayed number and click Apply within 60 seconds to
continue.

Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
You have configured a RAID 1 array with 2 drives. Refer to page 15 to create a volume on the array. Use "Disk
Management" on Windows to format the volume, then connect to the formatted volume with iSCSI Connection Tool and
use it as a local drive on your computer. For best results, configure one or both of the remaining drives as a hot spare (page
25).
