Configuring RAID

You can switch between the X-RAID2 Expandable Volume mode and the RAID 0/1/5/6 Flexible Volume mode only if you want to change the default configuration. It is not necessary to perform this procedure every time you boot up the system. The device remains in the selected mode until explicitly changed.

Warning: Performing a Factory Default will erase all your data on the hard disks. To preserve you data, do a full backup before using the Factory default option.

To reconfigure your RAID setup:

1.Power off the device.

2.While using a paper clip or push pin to press in the reset switch, power on the unit and hold the reset switch for a few seconds until the boot menu appears, then release the reset switch.

3.Push the Backup button on the front panel to scroll through the menu to the Factory Default option.

4.Press the recessed reset button at the back to confirm the menu selection and proceed to that option.

The system will reset to the factory default settings, and erase all the data on the disks.

5.Open RAIDar. RAIDar will prompt you to click Setup. The ReadyNAS Volume Setup screen displays.

6.Select either the Expandable Volume (X-RAID2)or the Volume (RAID 0,1,5, 6) radio button and click Create Volume Now. The volume and initialization process begins.

Warning: If no action is taken within 10 minutes, the system defaults to X-RAID2.
