Virtual Volumes
When formatting completes properly, the card will be

If you format any one of the three cards that compose a
virtual volume, the remaining two cards must also be
reformatted to enable use.
The formatting procedure will delete all stored data.
Using a virtual volume on the unit
1
Set the unit to the virtual volume operation mode, and
insert the three SRMemory cards composing the
virtual volume in slots M2, M3, and M4.
Note
Insert each card into the same respective slot that was
used during formatting.
When you insert any one of the cards, the SRMemory
indicators on slots M2, M3, and M4 will blink blue.
When you insert all three cards, the system performs a
check. If no errors are detected, the SRMemory
indicators will switch from blinking to remaining
steadily lit blue, and the virtual volume will be ready
for use.
If for some reason an inserted SRMemory card cannot
be used as a virtual volume, a warning message will
appear.
For details on the messages and how to resolve them,
see the next section.
