Changing the RAID mode involves two main steps,
changing a physical setting and confirming the setting
on the NAS administration page.
CAUTION:
Changing the RAID mode destroys all
data stored on the LaCie 2big. If you have saved data on
the drives, back up data before following these steps.
To change the RAID mode:
Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver into the groove
on the rotary switch and turn the screwdriver to the
left or right to select a different mode (Fig. 5.2-A).
Sign in to the NAS administration page administra-
tor account.
Click on
System > Disk > RAID
.
Select the “Apply modifications” box (
A
in Fig. 5.2-
B) and click the
Apply
button (
B
in Fig. 5.2-B).
The 2big will create a new RAID array and erase all
data from the disks. It may also reboot, in which case
you will need to log in again to continue administra-
tion.
