4.2. Creating an Array
■4.2.1. Initializing the Disks
To initialize the disks in your array:
1. Make sure the Biggest Quadra is turned off and the power cable is not connected.
2. Ensure that the RAID level is correctly set and configured. Refer to section 4.1. Setting the RAID Level.
3. Ensure that each of the individual drive trays is not locked and then pull each drive tray handle to release the latch. Slide each of the drive trays out from the LaCie Biggest Quadra slightly (Fig. 4.2.A).
4.Connect the power cable to the LaCie Biggest Quadra and a grounded electrical outlet. See A in- Fig. 4.2.B.
5. Turn on the LaCie Biggest Quadra by moving the power switch to the “on” position. See B in Fig. 4.2.B.
6.Slide each of the drive trays back into the LaCie Big- gest Quadra, and push the drive tray handles flat to lock the drive trays into place (Fig. 4.2.C).
Once all of the drive trays have been closed and |
|
locked, the LaCie Biggest Quadra will check the status |
|
of the four installed disks. If all four of the disks have |
|
not been initialized before (which will be the case for | Fig. 4.2.B |
the first connection of the LaCie Biggest Quadra), the |
|
RAID level initialization will begin automatically. |
