e Alerts page allows you to set up the Ethernet
Disk RAID to notify up to three people via email if a
problem occurs—for example, if one of the disks fails, or

To take advantage of this feature, you must have ac-

network or through an Internet service provider.
To set up e-mail alerts:

On the Advanced page, click Alerts.
Specify whether or not the Ethernet Disk RAID
should send e-mail notifications when a problem oc-
