(continued)

16. When the Format Partition window appears, enter a new

name for the volume table if you’d like. For RAID volumes

up to 16TB, accept the default allocation unit size; for RAID

volumes greater than 16TB, select 8192 from the drop-down

menu. Select Perform a quick format, and then click Next.

17. When the next window appears, click Finish.

Note: If you do not select the quick format option, this process will take

much longer to complete.

18. Repeat steps 11–17 for each remaining “unallocated” disk.

19. Depending on how you conﬁgured the RAID groups,

the volumes may already be available to use. If you

created a DVRAID, RAID Level 4, or RAID Level 5 group,

conﬁguration will take much longer. You may check on the

progress by clicking the Monitor button to the left of the

window.

20. Once all the RAID groups have been formatted and ﬁnish

building, they are ready to use.
