Front Panel Operation

The VOYAGER 3000 includes default configurations that it proposes based on the number and location of the drives installed. During first time installation, we advise that you use these default configurations provided by the Quick Installation function. This will allow you to immediately verify if the system is working. Further optimisation can then be made later on.

Note: The quick set-up assumes that there is only one host system and that it is connected to channel 0.
