NOTES: Use the Disk Management utility (provided by the OS) to delete all partitions,
except the unallocated, uninitialized drive that represents the InfoStation RAID
processor. Refer to section "Partitioning Configured Volumes" for further
information.
Only the last volume listed can be edited. In order to edit volume 1, volume 2
must be deleted. In order to edit volume 0, all volumes must be deleted (user
will need to start with a new volume).
The Advanced Configuration Wizard allows different combinations of storage policies and
capacities. The following procedure shows how to create several volumes and different
storage policies.

ton to open the Basic Configuration Wizard.
2. Click To Advanced Mode to open the Advanced Configuration Wizard.
3. Click Delete all volumes from the toolbar.

will then close automatically and the Status window will soon refresh.
