3.10 One-Touch RAID Configuration
The RAID is supported by DS-9600NI-I8 and DS-9600NI-I16 series NVR only.
Purpose:
The device supports the RAID storage function. Through one-touch configuration, you can quickly create the disk
array. By default, the array type to be created is RAID 5.
Before you start:
As the default array type is RAID 5, at least 3 HDDs must be installed in you device. And if more than 10 HDDs
are installed, 2 arrays can be configured.
Steps:
1. Enter the Physical Disk Settings interface.
Menu > HDD > RAID

3. Edit the array name in the Array Name text field and click OK button to start configuring array.
If you install 4 HDDs or more for one-touch configuration, a hot spare disk will be set by default. It is
recommended to set a hot spare disk for automatically rebuilding the array when the array is abnormal.
4. When the array configuration is completed, click OK button in the pop-up message box to finish the settings.
