4.1.2.3 RAID Tab
The RAID tab will be where you set up your RAID. First you need to startup the RTX400-QR without any
drives inside and the 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.
Note: Windows XP can not recognize volumes larger than 2.2TB. If you are running Windows XP and
are using drives larger than 500GB you’ll need to deselect the “Enable Large Disks” feature. If you are
using Vista then be sure to initialize your volume as a GUID Partition Table (GPT) before formatting the
volume.
After you’ve made all of your choices select “Apply Settings”. You will see a progress bar like the one
above. When it says “Device Reinitializing” you can turn to the LCD display and the RTX400-QR will
prompt you “Re-init”. Press the left button to reinitialize your RTX. You can now insert you drives in a
timely manner. After the drives power up it will also verify the RAID set you selected and the number of
disks. Again, press the left button to verify the RAID set and disk number. The RTX400-QR will then
reset the drives and advance to the Active Menu. You can now close WiebeTech Configurator 2.0.
Note: Future reboots will prompt you to “Re-init” the RAID. If you are just rebooting your RTX400-QR
then let it complete the start up cycle and go to the “Active Menu” before you touch anything. If you Are
wanting to change your RAID type then let it complete the start up cycle and repeat 3.4.6. Data will be
lost if you “Re-init” the RAID.
