Instant RAID

5. Click 

OK to save the current setting and exit. The Instant RAID is now

operational, with the following limitations:

• All Windows users will be given “guest” access rights. This allows   

access to the Public folder.

To overcome these limitations, use the browser-based administration
interface, by clicking on the Administration icon on the Instant RAID
Utility’s main screen.
