The guide provides the information you will need to install and configure the product based on your specific network environment and storage needs. To obtain further product information, firmware updates, and useful articles, please check our web site regularly at www. verbatim-europe. [. . . ] Alternatively, the key file might have been previously e-mailed to a user using the `Mail' function on the Key Management page. NOTICE: When encryption is enabled, data transfer rates may be reduced. RAID 5: RAID 5 (Striping with distributed parity) combines three or more disks in a way that protects data against loss of any one disk. The PowerBay NAS array implements RAID 5 in one of two ways: 13 Enable / Disable Encryption: During disk configuration, select Enable or Disable. If Enable is selected, you will be prompted to enter a password key string. Also you may optionally select one of two additional encryption options. Auto Unlock During System Reboot: Check the Auto Unlock box if you want the NAS always to power up in the UNLOCKED state. Use the feature with caution, since anyone who can access the PowerBay NAS array to power it off and back on can unlock a locked array. Store Key in USB Drive: If you want to use a USB storage device to unlock a locked array, insert a USB Flash Drive or USB Hard Drive in the front USB port and check this box. An encrypted key file will be written to the USB device during configuration. A USB key device created in this way can later be used to UNLOCK a LOCKED array. The USB key cannot be copied, although multiple USB keys may be created from the Key Management page. Key Management: Use this page to define how you want the password key to be used for unlocking the encrypted array. `Save' and `Load' allow you to store an encrypted key file "Volume_1. key" onto a computer on the LAN, and later retrieve the file to UNLOCK a LOCKED array. `Mail' allows the password key string to be e-mailed to all users whose e-mail addresses have been entered into the Receiver E-mail fields on the E-mail Settings page. If the administrator forgets the password key, the administrator can recover the key by mailing it to himself. This feature also means that anyone who discovers the administrator's User Interface password can also easily discover the encryption key. `Auto Unlock' and `USB Key' options are offered again on this page. This gives you a chance to invoke these options after you have configured the array. Managing the Encrypted Drive: Once the NAS array has been encrypted, the Disk Configuration page will show three additional buttons. `Key Management' will present options for managing the password key. `Reconfigure' will still allow you to reconfigure the array, although now you will be prompted to enter the password key string before you can continue. 14 Disk Configuration ­ Page (Steps) Here are the steps to configure all the hard drives (including an attached eSATA mirroring disk) to run on RAID 6. Step 4: You will be warned that doing this configuration will erase all the data from your hard drives. Click OK (if you want to proceed). Step 5: The RAID configuration will start. The new RAID settings will now show on the Hard Disk Configuration page, including the change of the eSATA Disk's status to "Synchronized". [. . . ] The diagram below indicates the operation of RAID 6: Standards Network Service Protocols Network Client Type File System Avoid risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
