CHAPTER

MODE SETUP AND ARRAY MANAGEMENT

SOFTWARE MODE-SETUP METHOD: BASIC

Once you have installed the application and reviewed

the basic functions of BackupQ, you are half-way to 

mastering your RAID-array! Open BackupQ and click 

the ‘Basic Mode’ and ‘RAID and Disk Information’ tabs. 

This will show you the model number of every drive you 

have inserted into your 

CADA-U3E4

. It will also tell you 

whether or not you have any arrays currently active. 

Unallocated disks will appear as “Unreleased”. This 

means that they are ready to be used in an array, or 

configured for individual usage within your Disk 

Management Utility.

The Basic RAID Configuration Tab will allow you to 

delete or  change the RAID settings of your CADA-U3E4

.
