Configuring G-RAID mini for Mac OS X
Please refer to the instructions below when configuring
G-RAID mini.
RAID 0: If you need RAID 0 mode, it is not necessary to
change anything, as G-RAID mini comes from the factory in
RAID 0 mode. If you need to re-configure a G-RAID mini from
RAID 1 to RAID 0, then follow the instructions here.
RAID 1: If you need RAID 1 mode for G-RAID mini, then follow
the instructions below.
The Configurator:
You will need a
software Utility from
G-Technology called
The Configurator to
change the RAID level
for your G-RAID mini.
The Utility is available
on the enclosed CD or
you can download it
from the support area of the G-Technology website here.
NOTE: It is important that you are connected via USB 2.0
while using The Configurator with your G-RAID mini. If you
are connected any other way, the utility will not function
correctly.
NOTE: It is important that you copy The Configurator to your
Applications folder by Option + dragging it there prior to
running it. You can also launch the utility directly from the
mounted Disk Image. The Configurator will not work if you
merely drag the application to the Applications Folder and
then attempt to launch it.
