C.4.5 Menu Advanced Setup: Configure Logical Drives

Logical Drives (hierarchy level 2) are installed in this main menu option.
Selecting

Configure Logical Drives

leads you to the screen shown next.

The F4 key gives you a list of all the hard disks this Logical Drive consists of. If it is a Logi-
cal Drive of the type

Disk,

it only consists of one single hard disk. If a Logical Drive consists

of more hard disks, it is of the type

Chain

(concatenation of several hard disks).

F3 loads the media of removable hard disks and F5 turns for some seconds periodically the
hard disks LED on and off.

To configure and setup an new Logical Drive, select Create new Logical Drive. ICPCON dis-
plays a list of free Physical Drives (which are not already part of a Logical drive).

If you select one Physical Drive with SPACE and press ENTER, ICPCON suggests to create a
SINGLE Drive out of this hard disk.
