InfoStation 5-Bay RAID User's Guide - Rev. C00

Mac OS X

NOTES:

Do not initialize or partition the sixth drive (labeled as "320.0KB Config Disk
Media")!

A warning message will appear everytime the Mac system is rebooted. Ignore
this message.

1.

A warning will appear upon reboot of the Mac system. Mac OS X does not identify
a recognizable file system. Click Ignore as many times as needed to dismiss all the
error message boxes.

2.

Launch Disk Utility from the Application > Utilities folder to view the drives.

3.

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 (labeled as "320.0KB Config Disk Media") in the list to represent
the InfoStation processor. DO NOT initialize or partition this drive!

The InfoStation RAID Manager searches for an active Daemon and launches a Daemon pro-
cess if the Daemon is not active. This application also launches the RAID Manager to display
the information captured by the Daemon.

The Daemon launch script is also added to the Library/StartupItems/InfoStationDaemon
directory to launch the Daemon everytime the Mac OS starts.
