Page 5: Installing The Raid Utility
The RAID Utility only runs on PCs and G4 and G5 based Macs! You may use the DriveStation Quattro with an Intel Mac, but you will not be able to change the RAID settings from it. You must use a Windows PC or a PowerPC based Mac to run the RAID Utility! Also, the DriveStation must be connected to your Mac with a USB cable while using the utility. - Page 6 Using the RAID Utility Double-click the RaidSetting icon on your desktop. Once launched, the RAID utility will briefly scan for your DriveStation Quattro. This may take a few seconds. The initial screen will show your current configuration. If your Quattro is new, it will probably be in RAID 0 mode, with all four disks in one high-performance partition.
- Page 7 Using the RAID Utility Select the drive structure that you’d like to use. Click OK, Yes, and Yes. Understand that this will erase any data on the drive! After changing the RAID mode, you will need to use the Disk Utility to format the new partition.
