2. Volume Setup on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista
Installation on a Windows system requires a Windows Installation with a properly installed
and configured SCSI host bus. Please verify that your assigned SCSI ID is unique among the
host SCSI chain, and verify that the terminator is attached and lit at the end of the chain.
2.1 Open the disk management console. A list of the attached drives and their respective
volumes will appear. Each Volume set will appear as an individual disk in the management
console. Upon the first time the RAIDBank4 is connected, a “Initialize and Convert Disk Wizard”
should appear when the disk management console is run. You may use the Wizard to set up
the volume, or follow the next steps for manual configuration.
Note:
The Disk Management Console can be found under \Windows\System32\diskmgmt.msc on your system
drive. For an illustrated guide, please see http://www.fantomdrives.com/support/faqs/hdfaqpc.php4#8
