Instruction Manual
Advanced Configuration
The following section details how to use the Advanced Configuration Wizard to apply
more than one storage policy to volumes in the SAT3550ESR Drive Enclosure.
While the Basic Configuration provides six predefined storage policies to quickly
configure the Drive Enclosure, the Advanced Configuration Wizard allows you to
configure up to ten volumes, each with different storage policies and capacities.
The Advanced Configuration Wizard is an extension of Basic mode that allows you to
create two volumes (virtual drives) on each physical hard disk.
