Overview of Setup method
Begin to use
To facilitate easy configuration of DVT12T3, a LCD/Keypad is designed
on the front panel for parameter setup. The default configuration and
parameters are designed to RAID6 mode. To avoid malfunction,
parameters and configuration could not be changed on use.
There are two ways to configure the DVT12T3 setting either by Web
GUI or LCD and keypad operation. Most parameters cannot be
changed during normal operation to avoid possible corruption or
malfunction.
To start with the parameters setting, both ‘MODE’ and ‘SELECT’
buttons have to be pressed and hold at power on till the LCD showing
[ARRAY PARAMETERS SETTING!].

After then, one can change parameters setting from Web GUI or LCD
button panel. To quickly setup the unit, press “MODE” button to roll
among different parameters and “SELECT” button to choose their
values. After change, press “MODE” and “SELECT” at the same time to
save modified parameters.
For details of each parameter and its meanings, please refer to User
Manual downloadable from our website.
The default setting might be varied for different configuration upon
number of pre-installed drives and capacity. Following parameters
saved, please turn off the power then press and hold the “MODE”
button about 3 seconds while turning on power to initialize the
configured setting. New configuration or parameters will be effective
after initialization process.
Attention : Initialization process assumes data aligned to its RAID
distribution and will enforce current parameters to RAID controller. If
the unit had corrupt-ed data during last operation, the unit will be
treated as normal despite of possible uncompleted data.
