3.5 Create HPA/DCO
You can create an HPA or DCO on the attached drive only if you are in Read-
Write mode. If you try to create an HPA/DCO in Write-Blocked mode, the screen
will display “SUPPORTED IN R/W MODE ONLY.” To create an HPA/DCO, cycle power on the unit and
switch to Read-Write mode.
3.5.1 Set DCO Size
This option is only available if no HPA exists on the drive. It allows you to set a new size for DCO (Device
Configuration Overlay). Each drive can only have one such area. Use the navigation buttons to select its
size. The disk capacity available to a computer will be reduced by this amount. A value of zero means
no DCO. Values exceeding available capacity are not accepted.
• From the “View Drive Info” screen, press the UP or DOWN buttons to get
to the “Create HPA/DCO” screen. Press ENTER.
• Press UP or DOWN to toggle between “Set HPA size” and “Set DCO
size” screens. When “Set DCO Size” displays, press ENTER.
