1. Make sure the status of the RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration is "Ready".
2. Install a hard drive on the NAS. If you have a hard drive which has already been
formatted as single disk volume on the NAS, you can add this hard drive to the RAID
5 or RAID 6 configuration. It is recommended to use hard disk drives with the same
capacity for the RAID configuration.
3. Select the RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration on the "RAID Management" page and click
"Add Hard Drive".
4. Select the new hard drive. The total drive capacity after adding the drive will be
shown. Click "Add Hard Drive."
5. All the data on the new hard drive will be deleted during this process. The data on
the original RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration will be retained. Click "OK". The NAS will
beep twice.
To add hard drives to a RAID 10 disk volume, repeat the above steps. Note that you
need to add an even number of hard disk drives to a RAID 10 volume. The storage
capacity of the RAID 10 volume will increase upon successful configuration.
This process may take a few hours to tens of hours to complete depending on the
number and the size of the hard drive. Do NOT turn off the NAS during this process. You
can use a RAID configuration of larger capacity after the process.
