Setting Up the Biggest Quadra
4.2. Creating an Array
To initialize the disks in your array:
Make sure the Biggest Quadra is turned off and the
power cable is not connected.
Ensure that the RAID level is correctly set and
configured. Refer to section 4.1. Setting the RAID
Level.
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).
Connect the power cable to the LaCie Biggest
Quadra and a grounded electrical outlet. See A in-
Fig. 4.2.B.
Turn on the LaCie Biggest Quadra by moving the
power switch to the “on” position. See B in Fig.
4.2.B.
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
the first connection of the LaCie Biggest Quadra), the
RAID level initialization will begin automatically.
