the configuration page by typing the NAS's

HD Initialization Wizard
The first time you use the
NAS, you may have to
initialize the hard disk. The
wizard provides an easy way
to initialize the hard disk.
By enabling SMART, the NAS will
report when the hard drive is
about to fail. Your hard drive must
support this feature.
The HD power management
should be enabled to prolong the
life of the hard drive. When there
is no activity for the set time
period, the hard drive will power down to conserve power, save wear and tear, and
prevent the unit from building up unnecessary heat. When a user wants to access
the storage, the NAS will automatically wake up.
Click on the Initialize button to begin the initialization process.
Refer to the NAS Manual located on the CD for additional information and
configuration options.
