Figure 104 One-touch Array Configuration
3. Edit the array name in the Array Name text box and click OK to start configuration the array.
4. There will pop-up an Attention box when the array configuration is completed. Click OK to finish
the settings.
5. You can select the Array tab to view the information of the successfully created array.
6. You can select the Virtual Disk tab to view the information of the created virtual disk.
Note:
As the default array is RAID 5, at least 3 HDDs must be installed.
If you install 4 HDDs or above for one-touch configuration, a hot spare disk will be set as default.
Note:
By default, one-touch configuration creates one array and one virtual disk. If the capacity of the array
created by one-touch configuration is larger than 16TB, two arrays and two virtual disks will be created.
Note:
By default, one-touch configuration adopts foreground initialization to initialize the virtual disk. By using
foreground initialization, the virtual disk can be used only after the initialization is complete.
Manually Creating Array and Virtual Disk
You can manually create the array of RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10. We take RAID 5 as an
example. To create the array of RAID 5:

Disk, as shown in Figure 103.
2. Click the Create button to enter the Create Array menu, as shown below.
