RAID setup
If you have added third party hard drives to empty units, you must configure the hard drives
using the RAID setup utility. The RAID setup utility is pre-installed on the system.
Notice!
The RAID setup process is not necessary for units with pre-installed hard drives. These units
are delivered with a default configuration.
DIVAR IP systems are configured in RAID 5 mode by default. Alternatively, RAID 5+ or RAID 6
can be used. In this case all settings remain unchanged except for the RAID level.
