WARNING:

Reinitializing a

RAID will erase any data on

the drives.

Mac OS X

Mac OS X versions since 10.4 do not have any limitations with volumes larger than 2.2TB. You

can format the volume as normal no matter what size hard drives you are using.

3.3.6 Configuring Your RAID

First you need to startup RTX400-QR without any drives inside and Configurator closed. After

approximately 15 seconds you can open up Configurator. Still without drives in the enclosure, select the

bubble next to your desired RAID type. Look over the different features that are selectable in your RAID

type and be sure that they are checked if you want them. Finally, be sure to select the proper number of

disks. If there is a grayed area when you are trying to make your selection that means that the grayed

feature is not compatible with the RAID type you’ve selected.

After you’ve made all of your choices, click “Apply Settings”. You will see progress bars like the one

above. Wait for all progress bars to close, and then turn to RTX400-QR’s LCD display. RTX400-QR will

prompt you “Re-init”. Press the left button to reinitialize your RTX. You can now insert your drives in a

timely manner. After the drives power up, RTX400-QR will verify the RAID set you selected and the

number of disks. Again, press the left button to verify the RAID set and disk number. RTX400-QR will

then reset the drives and advance to the Active Menu. You can now close Configurator 3.0.

Note:

Future reboots will prompt you to “Re-init” the RAID. If you are just turning on or rebooting your RTX400-

QR then do nothing and let it complete the start up cycle and go to the “Active Menu” before you touch

anything.

If you want to erase all your data and create a new RAID of the

same type, press the “Re-init” button when prompted.

If you want to change your RAID type, let it complete the start up cycle and repeat the steps in section

3.3.6. Data will be lost if you “Re-init” or change the RAID.
