RAID MODE CONFIGURATION & REBUILD

The XD5 standard configuration is configured for RAID 5 using five drives. This

mode improves speed and combines the drives into one large drive with

redundancy if any one of the drives were to fail.

Please review the RAID mode options under "RAID Configurations" in this

manual to choose the most suitable RAID mode for your application.

SETTING AND CHANGING THE RAID MODE

NOTE: All RAID mode settings and changes are made from the Clear RAID

mode. Ensure the RAID mode is set to Clear RAID or if you are changing the

RAID mode, ensure the RAID mode has been changed to Clear RAID mode.

Setting the Clear RAID Mode

Move the 3 RAID selector switches to the Clear RAID mode position

(down/down/down). Power the XD5 to off. While pressing the SET button,

power the XD5 to on, continue to press the SET button. The XD5 will beep

once, confirming power is on and RAID mode change is in progress. After 5-10

seconds the XD5 will beep once again, confirming the RAID mode has been

changed, release the SET button. The XD5 is now in Clear RAID mode.

Setting the RAID Mode or Changing the RAID Mode

Ensure the RAID mode is set to Clear RAID or if you are changing the RAID

mode, ensure the RAID mode has been changed to Clear RAID mode.

From the Clear RAID mode, set the 3 RAID Mode selector switches to the

desired RAID mode. See the chart below for the RAID Mode Selector Switch

position setting.
