Add hard driv e
Follow the steps below to add a HDD member to a RAID 5 or RAID 6 disk configuration.
1. Make sure the status of the RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration is 'Ready'.
2. Install a HDD on the NAS. If you have a HDD which has already been formatted as single disk
volume on the NAS, you can add this HDD to the RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration. You are
recommended to use hard disk drives of the same storage capacity for the RAID
configuration.
3. Select the RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration on the 'RAID Management' page and click 'ADD
HARD DRIVE'.
4. Select the new HDD member. The total drive capacity after adding the drive will be shown.
Click 'ADD HARD DRIVE'.
5. All the data on the new HDD member will be deleted during this process. The data on the
original RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration will be retained. Click 'OK'. The NAS will beep twice.
This process may take a few hours to tens of hours to complete depending on the number and the
size of the HDD. Please wait patiently for the process to finish. Do NOT turn off the NAS during this
process. You can use a RAID configuration of larger capacity after the process.
