4 - Web GUI - Configuring an Array
This guide assumes that the hard disks have already been installed into the external chassis, and attached to
the card. These hard disks must be initialized before they can be configured as arrays.
Initializing a new hard drive
Use the Initialize Devices option to prepare hard disks for use (creating arrays, rebuilding arrays, expanding
arrays, Spare disks).
1. Open the Web GUI interface, log-on, and select “Manage”, then “Device” from the toolbar:
2. Click the “Initialize Devices” button towards the top of the screen:
3. This will open a small menu. Check the box before the disk you wish to initialize and press “Submit”.
The initialized disk can now be added to the array.
Note: initializing disks will delete all data from the selected disks.
