Multiple RAID 

N5200PRO supports multiple RAID volumes on one system. So, you can create 
RAID 0 for your non-critical data, and create RAID 5 for mission-critical data. 
Create the RAID levels depending on your needs.   
 
To configure RAID modes on the N5200, refer to Chapter 4: System 
Management > Storage Management > 

RAID List

Dual Mode Support 

N5200PRO is not only a file server, but it also supports iSCSI initiators. Your 
server can access N5200PRO as a direct-attached-storage over the LAN or 
Internet. There is no easier way to expand the capacity of your current 
application servers. All the storage needs can be centrally managed and deployed. 
This brings ultimate flexibility to users. 
 
To set up an iSCSI volume, refer to Chapter 4: System Management > 
Storage Management > Space Allocation >

Superior Power Management 

N5200PRO supports schedule power on/off. With this feature, administrator can 
set at what time to turn on or off the system. This feature is a big plus for people 
who want to conserve energy. Wake-On-LAN enables administrator to remotely 
turn on the system without even leaving their own seat. 
 
To schedule system on and off, refer to Chapter 4: System Management > 
System Settings > Reboot and Shutdown System >
