NOTE:

Before reconfiguring a volume, backup the data and delete previously defined
InfoStation partitions. However, DO NOT delete the partition that represents
the InfoStation RAID processor (the "Not Initialized" drive with no capacity al-
located). User can then restore backed-up data to the new configuration once
new volumes are configured and partitioned.

1.

Launch Disk Utility from Application > Utilities folder.

2.

Select a configured drive and click the Partition tab.

3.

Select 1 Partition from the Volume Scheme dropdown list.

4.

Enter the desired name for the volume in the Name field.

5.

Select Mac OS Extended (journaled) from the Format dropdown list.

6.

Specify the size of the partition in the Size field.

7.

Click the Partition button.

8.

When prompted, click Partition to confirm.

The Disk Utility will mount the created partition and represents it with an icon on the
desktop. The icon will be labeled with the partition name.

9.

If necessary, repeat Steps 1-8 to partition any remaining drives configured in the
InfoStation RAID Manager. Remember, DO NOT partition the drive that represents
the InfoStation RAID processor.
