Configuration Mode
Configuration mode is used to modify the settings of disk array. Users can configure the freeStor
Xpand 1500C either through the LAN port or serial port. Note that you are entering configuration
mode whenever you press the “x” key during Operation Mode. Note that you cannot enter
Configuration Mode from both the web and terminal at the same time.
If password protection is enabled, you will be prompted to enter your password before
accessing the system. Unless the disk array is running in Self-Diagnostic Mode, you may select
any of the configuration modes at any time. The Configuration Mode is completely menu-driven
for ease of use, and the menu options allow you to fine-tune the disk array to your specific
requirements.
