(4) You can expand capacity and add new HDD by Settings -> Storage >> Disk Management

on local display. To avoid RAID configuration error, you should prevent the system from powering off or restart during the process of expanding or adding HDD. The rebuild time of RAID configuration depends on the amount of data stored in RAID. (Refer to Chapter 3.6 and 3.7 for detail.)

Here are some circumstances of HDDs for your reference: (A) Disk is Not installed.

(B) Disk is installed and normal.

Moreover, it is Not on the current RAID configuration.

(D) Disk is on the current RAID configuration and it is normal.

(E) Disk is on the current RAID configuration but it is abnormal.

(F) [On click] selected disk

For Mini-tower and 1U models (iSC-NVR5316-T / iSC-NVR5532-U)

For 3U Models (iSC-NVR5532-R / iSC-NVR5532-A)

For 4U Models (iSC-NVR5532-D)

3.6 Expand Capacity of Disk Management

When one of the HDD is damaged or the disk space is running out, it allows users to expand capacity of hard drives by replacing drives one by one in Disk Management. This expanded function supports three RAID types including RAID 1, 5 and 10. However, the function is not workable if your RAID configuration is software RAID 1 with one piece of HDD. The following will take Mini-tower/1U model for example. Please follow the steps to expand capacity:

(1) Select the active HDD that you want to replace and it will change to yellow color.

(2) Next, remove the active HDD from the current RAID configuration by clicking Remove

from RAID button and it will prompt “This will remove Disk. Continue?”. Click Yes

button to continue.

(3) It reloads the current configuration and pops up a dialog box automatically “1. Please

remove the HDD from Disk 02. 2. And insert the new HDD into Disk 02. 3. After finish 1.2, then click OK.”.

(4) Now, plug out the original HDD from system and insert the new HDD into original tray.

After that, click OK button to reload the current RAID configuration.

(5) It will start to process the RAID configuration automatically.

(6) It will pop up a dialog box “Expanding is ready” and the new HDD will show

after “RAID Processing 100%”. Click OK button to close the dialog box.

3.7 Add New HDD of Disk Management

This function allows users to add new HDDs in Disk Management. Mini-tower and 1U models support three RAID types including RAID 1 and 5. In contrast, 3U and 4U models support four RAID types including RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. Please follow the steps to add new HDDs:

(1) Insert a new HDD into the disk tray and click Refresh button. The new HDD 03 will

appear as below snapshot.

Note: You can only select the normal and unavailable disk.

(2) Select the new HDD that you want to add into RAID configuration and it will change to

yellow color. Click Add in RAID button and it will prompt “Add the selected disks into RAID configuration. And the data will be lost”. Click Yes button to start to add RAID configuration.

Note: The number of new HDDs depends on the RAID configuration. For example, it needs at least three HDDs to implement RAID 5.

(3) It will start adding the new HDD into the RAID configuration.

(4) It will pop up a dialog box “It is complete! Please, press OK and the system will reboot.”

after “RAID Processing 100%”. Click OK button to reboot system and the process is complete.

Note 1: If you want to re-configure the RAID type, you can power off system -> plug out all

HDD chassis -> plug in HDD chassis -> power on system to reset the system including RAID

configuration. All of the configuration and data will disappear.

Note 2: It can only add 2 pcs of HDD one time on hardware RAID 1 (original 2 pcs) and the RAID

configuration will turn to RAID 10 automatically. However, the UI still show RAID 1. Once

you want to add more HDDs later, you have to add 4* of HDDs.
