Step 2: RAID Creation

Next, administrators can configure their preferred RAID setting and build their RAID array. You can access RAID settings from the menu bar of the Web Administration Interface by navigating to Storage > RAID.

For more information on configuring RAID, see Chapter 4: System Management > RAID Configuration.

Don’t know which RAID level to use? Find out more about the different RAID levels from Appendix C: RAID Basics.

Step 3: Create Local Users or Setup Authentication

Once the RAID is ready, you can begin to create local users for the 1U4500, or choose to setup authentication protocols such as Active Directory (AD).

For more on managing users, go to Chapter 4: System Management > User and Group Management.

For more information on configuring Active Directory, see Chapter 4: System Management > User and Group Management > ADS/NT Configuration.

For information about the benefits of Active Directory, see Appendix D: Active Directory Basics.

Step 4: Create Folders and Set Up ACLs

Once users are introduced into your network, you can begin to create various folders on the 1U4500 and control user access to each using Folder Access Control Lists.

More information on managing folders, see Chapter 4: System Management > Folder Management.

To find out about configuring Folder Access Control Lists, see Chapter 4: System Management > Folder Management > Folder Access Control List (ACL).

Step 5: Start Services

Finally, you can start to setup the different services of the 1U4500 for the users on your network. You can find out more about each of these services by clicking below:
