Initialization/Partitioning of Drives
Once all the drives have been installed and the InfoStation has been connected to the host
computer, you will need to initialize or partition the drives through your OS Device Manager.
MS Windows
NOTE: Do not initialize or partition the sixth drive!
1. Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop and select Manage from the
pop-up menu.
2. Click Disk Management under Storage to view the drives.
3. If an Initialize and Convert Disk Wizard dialog appears, click Cancel to close
the Wizard and proceed to Disk Management.
4. Verify that all drives are visible in their preconfigured and unallocated state. If the
host does not see the InfoStation drives, refer to section "Troubleshooting" for cor-
rective actions.
The Status window provides details of the volume allocation. A sixth drive appears
without capacity in the list to represent the InfoStation processor. DO NOT initialize
or partition this drive!
