5 – Drive Formatting Instructions

6

OS X® Users’ Instructions

 

1.

 After the Fusion R400 RAID USB 3.0 finishes configuring 

the drives, a Disk Insertion window will appear stating that 
there is an unreadable volume; click Initialize, and then Disk 
Utility will open. Note that if you configured the drives as 
JBOD, multiple Disk Insertion windows will open; clicking 
Initialize on the first window will cause Disk Utility to 
launch.

 

2.

 In the Disk Utility window, RAID 0-, RAID 10-, Span-, and 

RAID 5-configured drives will appear as a single volume; 
JBOD-configured drives will each appear as a single volume. 
Select the volume, and then click the Erase tab at the top of 
the window. 

 

3.

 Select a drive format and name for the volume, and then 

click the Erase button; a window will appear asking you to 
approve your choice.

 4.

 Click Erase; the R400 RAID USB 3.0 volume will appear on 

your computer’s desktop.

 

5.

 Repeat steps 2 – 4 as necessary if the drives were JBOD-

configured. Otherwise, close Disk Utility; the R400 RAID 
USB 3.0 is ready for use.

Windows® 8/7/Vista and Server 2012/2008 Users’ 

Instructions

 

1.

 Click the Start button, and then right-click Manage; the 

Computer Management window opens. 

 2.

 In the Computer Management window, click Storage on the 

left, and then double-click Disk Management.

 

3.

 When the Initialize Disk window appears, select the RAID 

volume you created. Select the MBR partition style if you 
need to access your RAID storage from a computer running 
Windows XP Professional or 32-bit Windows Server 2003; 
otherwise, select GPT. Click OK.

 

4.

 In the Disk Management window, the Fusion R400 RAID USB 

3.0’s drives will appear (listed as “unallocated”) as a single 
volume (unless they were configured as JBOD). Right-click 
where the word “unallocated” appears, and then select New 
Simple Volume.

 5.

 When the Welcome to the New Simple Volume Wizard window 

appears, click next to start the process.

 6.

 Follow the remaining steps to complete the process. 

Note:

  If you do not select the quick format option, this process will take 

much longer to complete.

 7.

 When the Assign Drive Letter or Path window appears, select 

Assign the following drive letter, choose a letter, and then 
click Next.

 

8.

 When the Format Partition window appears, enter a new 

name for the volume table if you’d like. Select Perform a quick 
format, and then click Next.

 9.

 When the next window appears, click Finish.

 10.

 Repeat steps 4 – 9 as necessary if the drives were JBOD-

configured.

 11.

 Depending on how you configured the drives, the volume 

may already be available to the system. Once the volume has 
been formatted and finishes building, the R400 RAID USB 
3.0 is ready for use.
