3. RAID Configuration
3.1. Hardware RAID Layout
The FS-1600 Series NAS appliance uses ARC-1160 (FS-1600) or ARC1261ML (FS-1610) Serial-ATA RAID II controller that can aggregate a
maximum number of 16 HDD into user definable RAID levels. The minimum
number of required HDD is one (or RAID 0). Tandberg Data recommends
using a minimum of 4 HDD (Serial-ATA II type) in order to kick start an
implementation. Subsequent HDD can be added into an already configured
RAID set or a new RAID set. Please refer to the respective sections in RAID
controller User Guide for details.
Upon boot up of the FS-1600 Series NAS appliance, the RAID controller
BIOS can be accessed by pressing the F6 or TAB key. It is recommended
that a RAID set that comprises of a 4 HDD is created first before creating
subsequent Volume sets.
In this case Tandberg Data recommends two logical Volume sets consisting
of System Volume and Data Volume to be created within the RAID set. The
two logical volumes are to be configured to RAID levels 0+1 and 5. The
System Volume, installed with the host operating system (Windows
®
Storage
Server 2003), is organized as RAID 0+1 and the Data Volume is organized
as RAID 5. This is to allow OS redundancy if more than one HDD fails.
The Volume set layout for the appliance is illustrated below.

3-3 Tandberg Viking FS-1600 Series NAS Hardware User Manual
3.1.1. System Volume (SV)
This volume is organized as a RAID 0+1 volume. This volume includes the
operating system image (Windows
®
Storage Server 2003). The minimum
recommended size for this volume is 10 GB (default). The RAID level can be
customized using the RAID controller BIOS or web-based RAID manager.
The web-based RAID manager is only available after OS installation or
recovery. For more information on how to use the RAID Volume
Configuration utility, see “RAID Management” on 5.2.
3.1.2. Data Volume (DV)
The remaining hard drives space can be organized as the Data Volume
using RAID 5 or other RAID level definable by user. For a FS-1600 Series
NAS appliance installed with four 250 GB hard drives, the data volume size
can be set to 735 GB using the recommended RAID and Volume settings.
3.2. RAID Volume Calculation
Depending on the hard drive capacity, the System Volume and Data Volume
capacity can have different capacity sizes. A simple formula to calculate
Data Volume size (DV) per RAID level is shown in the table below (where
SV is the size of the System Volume in gigabytes) based on Tandberg
Data’s recommended settings:
RAID Level Formula
5 DV = {[(Per HDD capacity × 4) – 2 × SV] ÷ 4} × 3
0+1 DV = {[(Per HDD capacity × 4) – 2 × SV] ÷ 4} × 2
0 DV = (Per HDD capacity × 4) – 2 × SV
Refer to the following table for changing the Data Volume of your hard drive
or changing the default configuration setting according to your Data Volume
size preference:
HDD Capacity
(GB)
System
Volume (GB)
Data Volume
RAID 5 (GB)
Data Volume
RAID10 (GB)
Data Volume
RAID 0 (GB)
500 10 1485 990 1980
250 10 735 490 980
Use the Serial-ATA II RAID controller BIOS change the system volume size
and RAID level of your hard drive. For more information, see “RAID

4. Customizing the Viking FS-
1600 Series NAS Appliance
Before you install any computer component, we recommend that you read
the following sections. These sections contain important ESD precautions
along with pre-installation and post-installation instructions.
4.1. Preventing Static Electricity Discharge
The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static
electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• ESD can permanently damage electrostatic discharge-sensitive
components in your FS-1600 Series NAS appliance. Prevent ESD
damage by following ESD guidelines every time you open the case.
• To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and moving
parts, turn off your FS-1600 Series NAS appliance and unplug the
power cord and network cables before opening the case.
Before opening the case, follow these guidelines:
• Turn off your FS-1600 Series NAS appliance.
• Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores)
and attach it to a bare metal part of your computer.
• Touch a bare metal surface on the back of the computer.
• Unplug the power cord and the network cables.
Before working with computer components, follow these guidelines:
• Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and
packing foam.
• Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are
ready to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of
antistatic bags because only the inside of the bags provide
electrostatic protection.
4.2. Expanding Connectivity
Ports allow you connect peripheral devices to your FS-1600 Series NAS
appliance. For instructions on how to connect different external devices to
the appliance, see your peripheral device user’s guide for instructions.

Before restoring the factory default image to Viking FS-1600 Series NAS
appliance, the System Volume (SV) on the hardware RAID controller must
be created first. After the SV creation is finished, the appliance has to be
rebooted to make the volume effective before the image restoration.
1. During the boot process, depress TAB / F6 key to enter the RAID
BIOS.
2. Create RAID set that comprises of the physical member HDD. If you
have 4 HDD, you can select all 4 HDD into a RAID set.
3. Create the Volume set (SV) within the RAID set. Decide the RAID
level and strip size of SV and the desire capacity.
Notes
It is recommended that the minimum capacity of the System Volume is set to 10GB
and RAID level 0+1 for OS redundancy. Tandberg Data does not recommend
setting the capacity value of SV below 10GB.
4. Enter the default password word if prompted.
5. The system will start performing the RAID volume creation.
Depending on the capacity of the SV selected as well as its RAID
level, this process may take several hours to complete. Once
completed, the appliance has to be rebooted for the volume to take
effect.

Mount
To make accessible, either by connecting to the computer itself or by placing
onto the hard drive or other storage medium of a computer on the network.
Network card
A device installed in a computer or router to enable connection to a network.
A network card is equipped with a port (connector) for connection to a 1000
base-T, 100 Base-TX, 10 Base-T, or other network cable. Also referred to as

systems.
Operating system
Basic software that manages and controls operation of a computer.
Microsoft® Windows® and UNIX are operating systems.
RAID
RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is an array of multiple,
independent hard drives that provide high performance and fault tolerance.
The RAID subsystem controller implements several levels of the Berkeley
RAID technology. An appropriate RAID level is selected when the volume
sets are defined or created. This decision is based on drive capacity, data
availability, (fault tolerance or redundancy), and drive performance.
RAID level
RAID level refers to the level of data performance and protection of a volume
set. RAID arrays can be implemented in several ways, using technologies
such as mirroring, striping, duplexing, and parity. The RAID levels supported
in the RAID subsystem are RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 and RAID 5.
RAID 0
RAID 0, also known as striping, is the simplest RAID level. RAID 0 does not
involve data redundancy, but it does offer the best high-speed data
throughput. RAID 0 breaks up data into smaller blocks, then writes a block to
each drive in the array.
Tandberg Data Glossary
_____________________________________________________________
7-iv Tandberg Viking FS-1600 Series NAS Hardware User Manual
RAID 1
RAID 1, also known as disk mirroring, writes data simultaneously to several
duplicate drives. If one drive fails, the other drive(s) continues to function as
a single drive until the failed drive is replaced.
RAID 5
RAID 5 is also known as striping with parity at byte level. In RAID 5, both
data and parity information are written to all of the drives in the subsystem. If
one drive in the system fails, the parity information can be used to
reconstruct the data from that drive. All drives in the array system can be
used for a seek operation at the same time, thereby increasing the
performance of the RAID system.
RAID 6
RAID 6 provides the highest reliability, but is not yet widely used. It is similar
to RAID 5, but it performs two different parity computations or the same
computation on overlapping subsets of data. RAID 6 can offer fault tolerance
greater than RAID 1 or RAID 5 but consumes the capacity of 2 disk drives
for distributed parity data. RAID 6 is an extension of RAID 5 but uses a
second, independent distributed parity scheme. Data is striped on a block
level across a set of drives, and then a second set of parity is calculated and
written across all of the drives.
RAID 10
RAID 10 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1, striping and disk mirroring.
RAID Level 10 combines the fast performance of Level 0 with the data
redundancy of Level 1. In this configuration, data is distributed across
several drives, similar to Level 0. Then the data are duplicated to another set
of drives for data protection. RAID 10 provides the highest read/write
performance of any of the hybrid RAID levels.
RAID 0+1
RAID 0+1 is a mirrored array whose segments are RAID 0 arrays. It has the
same fault tolerance as RAID 5, and the same overhead for fault tolerance
as mirroring alone. This RAID has excellent performance, but not maximum
reliability.
Rack mount
Ordinarily, a 19-inch rack (cabinet) in which servers or drive units made to fit
such a rack are mounted. A rack mount kit is hardware, such as sliding rails,
for mounting devices in such a rack.
Router
Tandberg Data Glossary
_____________________________________________________________
7-v Tandberg Viking FS-1600 Series NAS Hardware User Manual
A repeater for connecting multiple networks. A router determines the
optimum path (route) for forwarding received data, and provides control over
a higher level of processing than a device such as a hub. A router is used in
constructing medium- to large-scale networks.
Server
A computer that provides many types of services to computers attached to it.
Examples include file servers, Web servers, and data servers.
Service
A task (sometimes known as a process) or application that resides in the
system and runs in the background. Also referred to as a daemon or driver.
Subnet mask
A number that is used for dividing IP addresses used on a TCP/IP network
into network numbers and host numbers. This method is used to allow
different networks that are connected through a router to recognize that they
are different networks.
TCP/IP protocol
Generally used to refer to the established set of means and procedures by
which devices connected to a TCP/IP network communicate with one
another. TCP/IP is the most widely used of the various protocols, and is also
used on the Internet.
Volume set
Volume set is a single logical device. It is organized in a RAID level with one
or more physical drives. A volume set must be created either on an existing
RAID set or on a group of available individual drives.
Web server
A server machine that distributes data for viewing over the Web, or the
service provided by such a machine. Also referred to as a WWW (World
Wide Web) server.
Windows network
A network built from machines that use a Microsoft® operating system. Uses
a protocol called NetBEUI.
