Operations

Changing the Mode

Mode selection allows the MV 4105 operator to choose the desired operating mode for the unit. See the mode selection choices at Table 5-5.

CAUTION: Changing the mode can cause any existing data to become unreadable or corrupted. Make sure that any data you want to keep is stored elsewhere before you change the mode.

CAUTION: Remove or delete any known partitions before changing the mode. This keeps the operating system from malfunctioning due to left-over file system information.

IMPORTANT: Consult the “RAID Compatibility” section in

Appendix A, Specifications, to ensure proper operations.
