User manual BUFFALO TS-TGL : TERASTATION PRO

[. . . ] User Manual TeraStation Pro TS-TGL/R5 www. buffalotech. com v2. 5 Introduction Congratulations on your new TeraStation!This user manual is intended to assist you in configuring it. Because we're constantly updating our product, the images and text in this manual may vary slightly from the images and text displayed by your TeraStation. These changes are minor and should not affect the ease of setup adversely. [. . . ] RAID 5 is an excellent compromise between efficiency and security. If a single drive fails, no data is lost. After the damaged or defective drive is replaced, your TeraStation will automatically restore all data to the new drive and resume normal RAID 5 operation. This is how your TeraStation is set up out of the box. Buffalo Technology recommends RAID for its excellent balance of efficiency and security. Advanced Settings Disk Management (RAID Configuration) This page shows your current RAID arrays. You may delete old arrays or create new ones by clicking on the underlined RAID Array # under RAID Array Configuration. The RAID Scanning Settings set a specific time for the TeraStation to scan and inspect its RAID arrays. It is recommended to set a time where the TeraStations usage will be minimal (perhaps the middle of the night). TeraStation will be significantly slower while the RAID scan occurs. Begin Immediate RAID Scan specifies the TeraStation to run a RAID Scan immediately after pressing Apply. You may also disable RAID Array Error Detection Response from this page. Normally, this is set to automatically shut down the RAID array when an error is detected. Though it is not recommended, you may disable that behavior by selecting Disable. NOTE: TeraStation has four internal hard drives. Before creating a new RAID array, you may have to delete one or more pre-existing RAID Arrays to clear up the hard drives for your new one. This will destroy all data currently on the disks, so back up any important data before deleting RAID arrays. Whether you want to clear out an old array or create a new one, begin by clicking on the array's underlined RAID Array #, under Name. 0 Advanced Settings Disk Management (RAID Configuration) A configured RAID array may be deleted by pushing the Delete RAID Array button. This will free up all hard drives listed under Disk Structure. To configure an unconfigured array, put checks next to the hard disks you want included in the array (under Disk Structure) and choose your RAID mode. It may take several minutes to complete setting up the RAID array. When it's finished, a Disk Scan will run, this may take several hours to complete; performance will be slow during the Disk Scan. 1 Advanced Settings Disk Management (Disk Check) When RAID Configuration is done, you'll see this screen. To configure a new array, click on RAID Array # and go back to the bottom of page 31. To set up shares, turn to page 8. Advanced Settings Disk Management (RAID Configuration) You'll see this screen when your new RAID Array is completely configured. [. . . ] Cooling Error: Cooling by fan cannot catch up.

Squeeze the tabs gently and swing the tray latch upward. The hard drive tray will now slide out. 8 Lower the drive carefully to the work surface. Gently push down on the two tabs to release the plug. Pull the plug straight out to remove the drive. To remove the hard drive from its cage, set the assembly on a soft surface and remove these four screws. 0 Install a new hard drive by doing the same steps in reverse order: Begin by screwing the new hard drive into the cage. Plug the power/data connector into the hard drive. Slide the hard drive cage back into the TeraStation. Press the latch down to lock the hard drive cage in place. 1 Technical Specifications LAN Standards: Transmission Types: Access Media: Media Interface: USB Standard: IEEE 802. 3u 100BASE-TX; IEEE 802. 3 10BASE-T 1000Mbps/100Mbps/10Mbps; 100BASE-TX 4B/5B, MLT-3;10BASE-T Manchester Coding CSMA/CD RJ-45 USB 2. 0 Hi-Speed (HS) Full-Speed (FS) Low-Speed (LS) USB A Connector (2) Max: 480 Mbps (HS Mode) Max: 12 Mbps (FS Mode) UPS Compatible (Serial/USB connection) ~56W (Varies based on size) 6. 7" x 9. 3" x 12. 2" (170 x 235 x 310 mm. ) ~15. 8 lb.
