Taurus LAN User Guide
Maintenance
In this menu, you can format the hard drives, setup the RAID array, upgrade the firmware
and manage the configuration settings.
Disk Utility
This utility can be used to format the individual hard drives and also to see all the
information related to those disks.
•
Encryption:
The Taurus LAN supports 128bit loop-AES encryption for the EXT2 file
system. When enabled, the drive has to be formatted again and you will be prompted
for a password (has to be exactly 20 characters).
•
File System:
.For drives that are not in a RAID array, there is a choice between EXT2,
EXT3 and FAT32. For drives installed in the Taurus LAN, we recommend using EXT2
for optimum performance and functionality.
•
Scandisk:
Press the “Scan” button to check the disk integrity. If possible, any errors
found will automatically be fixed. This will take a while to finish depending on the
capacity of the drive, and also the disk can not be used in that time.
•
Umount:
This function is only available for external USB drives that are attached to the
Taurus LAN. Press the Umount button to eject the USB drive before you disconnect it.
•
Detail:
Press the “Detail” button to see further disk information. If the HDD supports
S.M.A.R.T, it will also report the disk’s health status.
•
HDD Power Management:
To save power and reduce heat, you can let the hard disk
spin down if not used for a certain amount of time. Enter a time in minutes and press
the “Save” button to apply the new setting.
Note: The “disk spin down” function might not work properly for some WD hard drives due
to lack of the E3h command.
