CONFIGURING THE DX9200HDDI

The DX9200HDDI is configured to operate in one of two ways:

RAID 5: RAID 5 (redundant array of independent disks) provides protection in case a drive fails as the missing data can be reconstructed from the data on the available parity drive.

RAID 5 with Hot Spare: RAID 5 with Hot Spare adds a level of additional protection as a “hot spare drive,” which is configured and added to the RAID array.

You use the DX9200HDDI control panel to configure the unit. Figure 12 shows the DX9200HDDI control panel. The blue keys on the control panel are used to configure the DX9200HDDI.
