Chapter 1 RAID Introduction
1.1 What is RAID?
RAID (redundant array of independent disks or redundant array of inexpensive disks)
Whenever and wherever we are, we store our data in a hard drive. Abnormally access, slower speed
and unresponsiveness are all expected when an accident occurs or the hard disk reaches its service
life because a hard disk is widely used. By then, all data stored within may be destroyed and become
permanently irretrievable. RAID technology spares you from the threats of losing your data again!
RAID (redundant array of independent disks or redundant array of inexpensive disks) allows you to
store your data into multiple drives by dividing them up into segments. It provides data redundancy and
creates a fault-tolerant environment for data storage. With multiple drives used (at least 2) in a RAID, it
increases storage capacity as well as enhances the speed of data transfer. Be equipped with it and you
will never have to worry about the integrity of your data again because your data will be 100% protected.
1.2 RAID Functions
- Expanding storage capacity
- Increasing data transfer speed
- Saving cost
- Inherent Fault Tolerance
- Hot Swap Capability
- Auto-Rebuild of Data
- Hot Spare Drive
- On-line Capacity Expansion
1.3 RAID 0 vs. RAID 1
PATRIOT CORZA provides RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions described as follows:
Striping (fast, has no fault tolerance; requires at least two hard disks)
RAID Introduction 5

The RAID 0 array does not backup data, so it is not regarded as a real RAID application. If one of the
hard disks is damaged, the entire array will fail, and all data in the array will be lost. Therefore, the fault
tolerance of RAID 0 is lower than that of any hard disk in the array. However, RAID 0 is still the term
widely used to describe these arrays. It is because that its basic idea is similar to real RAID application.
Mirroring (High security; at least 2 hard disks required)
In the RAID 1 array (commonly referred to as mirroring array), hard disks are paired up; each of the two
disks contains identical data. As data is written into the mirroring array, it will be written at once and read
simultaneously. Mirroring array is highly reliable. Because it will not fail until the paired hard disks fail at
the same time. For instance, in a mirroring array of ve-pair hard disks, even as many as ve hard disks
fail, the array still can maintain the data integrity --as long as each pair has one good hard disk left.
Below is the comparison between 2 RAID levels:

Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Accessories Check
After you open the outer package, make sure that the following items are contained in the package:
- PATRIOT CORZA
- AC Power Cord
- CORZA CD
- User Manual
- Accessory Kit
Make sure the related accessories and the product body are not damaged or missing. If you have any
questions, contact the distributor or sales.
Notice : 1. If the hard disks are inserted and the formatting or disk array setting is completed, do not change the
position of the disks arbitrarily.
2. To replace or remove the hard disks, please shut down the machine and turn off the power rst.
Removing the hard disks while the power is on will result in system malfunction and may damage the
data.

2.2. Hardware Installation
Please follow the procedure below to complete the hardware installation of CORZA:
1. Open the outer package and take out the product body. (Make sure the related accessories and the
product body are not damaged or missing. If you have any questions, contact the distributor or sales)
2. Mount the product to a stable surface. Make sure that the fan is not blocked and there is appropriate
space around for heat dissipation. (Do not place the product nearby water area or any environment
that may cause damage to the product)
3. Take out the tray and install your hard disk in it. Make sure to fasten the hard disk securing screws to
prevent damages caused by unnecessary movement.
4. Once the installation is completed, insert the tray back and x it rmly in the proper place.
Installation 9

5. Connect the Gigabit LAN port and, nally, connect the power cord.
6. Hardware installation is completed. You can power on the system to start the related setup and
application.
7. You can use related management interfaces to make the respective congurations. Please refer to
Chapter 3.
2.3. Initial Setup
CORZA supports the use of the graphic user interface (GUI) for system management. You can manage
settings via the GUI. It takes about 2 minutes to start CORZA after the power is turned on. Before the
startup is completed, the system will be unable to nd the CORZA.
1. Open the browser and enter the IP address, e.g. http://10.1.2.200 (your own host IP address).
Change the IP address of CORZA rst (the factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1)
to 10.1.2.XXX. For operation methods, refer to Chapter 3.
The default account and password are as follows:
Login Username: admin
Default Password: admin
2. If you use formatted hard disks, the system will display current system information and setting will
be available. If you use 2 new hard disks, you need to format the hard disks or create a disk array
rst. Enter “Maintenance” and click “Disk Utility” if you want to format the hard disks separately or
“Disk Array” if you want to set the disk array directly. Once formatting or disk array setting is
completed, the system will restart. After login, the system will display the present system information
and setting is available. For detailed descriptions of system setting and hard disk formatting, refer to
Chapter 3.
* If you use formatted hard disks, the system will display the present system information and be ready
for setting.
