3. G-SPEED with capacities over 2TB must be configured to

work properly with your operating system.

a. Mac OS X Users:

Set the item “Greater Two Terabyte Volume

Support” to “64bit LBA”, this configures G-SPEED to

report full capacity in MAC OSX

b. Windows 64 Users:

Set the item “Greater Two Terabyte Volume

Support” to “for Windows”, this configures G-SPEED

to report full capacity in Windows 64 (or Vista)

c. Windows XP Users:

Windows XP currently does not support disk volumes

over 2TB in capacity (2048 GB). You must configure

G-SPEED with multiple volumes of 2TB or less as

described here:

c1. Choose “Quick Create”, select your RAID level

and leave the default setting of “No” under

“Greater Two Terabyte Volume Support”. This will

create the maximum Volume size of 2047.97GB

(2199GB from disk) allowed in 32bit systems.

c2. Continue to create Volumes on the G-SPEED by

selecting “Create Volume Set” under the “VolumeSet

Functions” on the left navigation bar. This screen will

appear:

c3. Hit “submit” to enter the configuration page.

Select your desired RAID level, check “Confirm the

Operation” and hit “Submit”. Continue this process

until all available space has been used.

This process will create multiple Volumes that will

appear in Windows Disk Manager as disks ready to

be formatted. It is possible to create one large

Volume in Windows by “spanning” these logical

disks. Refer to your OS documentation for details.
