When RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration is executed, the system will initialize the

hard drives, create the RAID device, format the RAID device, and mount it as a volume on

the NAS. The progress will be shown on the LCD panel. When it reaches 100%, the RAID

volume can be accessed. Users can create share folders and upload files to the folders on

the NAS. In the meantime, to make sure the stripes and blocks in all the RAID component

devices are ready, the NAS will execute RAID synchronization and the progress will be

shown on “Disk Management” > “Volume Management” page. The synchronization rate is

around 30–60 MB/s (vary by hard drive models, system resource usage, etc.)

Note: If a member drive of the RAID configuration was lost during the synchronization, the

RAID device will enter degraded mode. The volume data is still accessible. If a new member

drive is added, the NAS will start to rebuild. The status can be checked on the “Volume

Management” page.

To encrypt the disk volume*, select “Yes” when the LCD panel shows <Encrypt

Volume?>.The default encryption password is “admin”. To change the password, please

in “Device Configuration” > “Disk volume Encryption Management”.

When the configuration is finished, the server name and IP address will be shown. If the

NAS fails to create the disk volume, the following message will be shown.

Note: The data encryption functions may not be available in accordance to the legislative

restrictions of some countries.
