8.1 HD Initialization Wizard
The first time you use the NAS feature, you must ini-
tialize the hard disk. The NAS provides an easy way to
initialize the hard disk via the wizard. Follow the wizard
in order to properly setup the drive. Select the HD
Initialization option and refer to the steps below:
1. Select the Enable radio button and click the Apply
button in S.M.A.R.T. field.
2. Within the HD Power Management Setting, you
have the ability to select the duration of time before
the drive is set to an idle status. This will help
preserve power and increase the drives longevity.
Please select an idle time now.
3. In Hard Disk Status, click the Initialize button in the
Action column following the hard drive description.
4. A warning window shows up. Please click the OK
button (Figure 8.1b).
