4	Select hard disks (3 of them) to use in RAID5.
5	1 Select [RAID5].

	Note:
	After the RAID array is changed, the TeraStation will perfom a RAID check that will take about 5 hours per TB. File
	transfers will be slower during this period. While the “RAID ARRAY x Resyncing” message is displayed on the LCD
	screen, do not turn off the TeraStation. If you turn it off, the RAID check will start over.
6	The [Confirm Operation] screen will appear. Enter the number shown in the [Confirmation Number] field within
	60 seconds, and click [Apply].
7	Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

You have now set up a RAID 5 array. Refer to page 26 to configure a hot spare with the remaining drive. Turn to page 43 to create a shared folder.
