Managing Your Ethernet Disk RAID
5.7. Advanced Management
The
Alerts
page allows you to set up the Ethernet
Disk RAID to notify up to three people via email if a
problem occurs—for example, if one of the disks fails, or
if insufficient space is available for creating new files or
performing a backup.

network or through an Internet service provider.
To set up e-mail alerts:

server and at least one e-mail address.

dimmed. However, if you previously entered infor-

Apply

ImpOrTANT INfO:
The e-mail might not be
sent immediately when the problem occurs, but
will be sent within five minutes of the event. In

failed - the alert will not be sent.
