This feature is only provided by the NAS models with LCD panels.

 

You can use the LCD panel to perform disk configuration and view system information.

 

When the NAS has started up, you will be able to view the NAS name and IP address:

For first-time installation, the LCD panel shows the number of hard drives detected and the IP address. You may select to configure the hard drives.

*Press "Select" to choose the option, and press "Enter" to confirm.

 

For example, when you turn on the NAS with 5 hard drives installed, the LCD panel shows:

When you execute RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration, the system will initialize the hard drives, create the RAID device, format the RAID device, and mount it as a volume on the NAS. The progress will be shown on the LCD panel. When it reaches 100%, you can connect to the RAID volume, for example, create folders and upload files to the folders on the NAS. In the meantime, to make sure the stripes and blocks in all the RAID component devices are ready, the NAS will execute RAID synchronization and the progress will be shown on "Storage Manager" > "Volume Management" page. The synchronization rate is around 30-60 MB/s (varies depending on the hard drive models, system resource usage, etc.)

 

Note: If a member drive of the RAID configuration was lost during the synchronization, the RAID device will enter degraded mode. The volume data is still accessible. If you add a member drive to the device, it will start to rebuild. You can check the status on the "Volume Management" page.

 

To encrypt the disk volume*, select "Yes" when the LCD panel shows <Encrypt Volume?>. The default encryption password is "admin". To change the password, login the NAS with an administrator account and change the settings in "Storage Manager" > "Encrypted File System".
