Chapter 2. Setup and Monitor
2.1 Operation Overview
To simplify the process of setup, the product is designed to support necessary configuration from front
panel LCD and button operation. The default RAID level is RAID-6 for highest reliability. To prevent
malfunction, parameters cannot be changed at its regular operational (Monitor) mode. The device needs
to be in Parameter Setup mode ( Setup mode here after) to get configured. Under Monitor mode, LCD
will show
“RAID 6 Normal” as long as no attention event occurred. Any error identified or status changed
will be dynamically reflected to its respective indicators such as LED light, buzzer alarm, and LCD display
etc. Only if you wanted to change parameter setting, should anyone choose to turn the device onto Setup
mode. The storage needs to be power cycled for Mode change to avoid misoperation.
Critical parameters including Disk Size , Drive Mode (number of drives), and RAID Mode should have
been pre-configured upon drive installation. If not, you will need to properly configure them before any
operation. Default parameters, if any, are followed with
“*” sign. Front LCD panel acts as a short path for
device configuration yet Web GUI is abundant with status and detail information.
