up the C1M ( connect the power adapter to C1M and make sure the ip switch
in on DAS mode ), lastly power up your MAC device.
3. If you have a brand new storage, you will need to congurate the new desk
array by using RAIDGuardX. You can nd the software in nder/applications/
RAIDGuardX. Please conduct the following steps to create storage array and
export LUN(s).
a. Execute RAIDGuardX app
Power on your storage rst. Than power on C1M
3. Hardware conguration:
DAS mode :

c. Create array
(click Create Array bottom in
RAIDGuardX GUI)
After adding the controller, you can
create your storage array to your
desired conguration.
d. Format device
(/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility)
Once storage array is created, you
can see the storage device in disk
utility, format it to your desired layout
and the storage is ready to go.
