Congratulations on your new DriveStation Duo! With dual hard drives, the
DriveStation Duo gives you many options for large capacity and easy-to-use
redundancy.
Insert the DriveNavigator CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
DriveStation Setup
On a PC, DriveNavigator should automatically launch.
If it does not, click [Start] and select [Run]. In the Run
dialog, enter “d:\DriveNavi.exe” (where d is the drive
letter of your CD-ROM drive). Click [OK] to continue.
For a Mac, open the CD and click [RaidUtility.dmg] to
begin installation.
Click [Begin Installation]. Click [Next] to
step through the installation. Mac users
can skip this step.
5
After completing the setup wizard, your DriveStation Duo is installed and ready to
use!
By default, your Duo is confi gured in RAID 1 mode. In RAID 1, data can be
recovered even if one of the hard disks in DriveStation fails. However, the total
available space is 1/2 of the maximum space.
If you prefer a different RAID confi guration, or if you prefer to use DriveStation
as a single drive, you may use the RAID Utility to change your DriveStation’s
RAID settings. Turn to the next page for instructions on using the RAID Utility.
Alternately, you may change the RAID mode with the RAID mode button as
described in the Reference Guide.
Out of the box, the DriveStation is formatted with FAT32, allowing it to be used
with most common operating systems. If you’re going to use it with programs
that generate fi lesizes larger than 4 GB, such as backup software, reformat the
DriveStation with NTFS or Mac OS Extended.
By default, all drives on the DriveStation are divided into 2 TB partitions. This
allows older versions of Windows, such as 32-bit Windows XP and Windows
Server 2003, to read the drives without additional software or service packs.
Users of newer operating systems may wish to re-partition the DriveStation with
larger partitions, but this is not recommended for 32-bit Windows XP. Windows
Server 2003 may be able to read larger partitions after the latest service pack is
applied.
The wizard will step you through setting up your DriveStation Duo, confi guring
your RAID settings, and reformatting if desired.
The DriveStation Duo may be connected to your computer with a USB
connection.
6
Using the RAID Utility
The RAID Utility allows you to confi gure your DriveStation Duo in several modes:
Normal mode - Appears to your computer as two separate hard drives. Note that
normal mode only works with a USB connection.
Spanning mode - Appears to your computer as one large hard drive.
RAID 0 mode - Appears to your computer as a single drive. Higher performance
than Spanning mode.
RAID 1 mode - Appears to your computer as a single drive. The second drive is
an exact copy of the fi rst drive, for redundancy.
Notes:
・Changing the mode of the drives in your Duo will erase all data on them! Back
up any important data before using the RAID Utility.
On a PC, launch the RAID Utility by clicking on [RAID Utility] in the DriveStation
Duo program group, or from the Start menu.
On a Mac, double-click the RaidUtility icon on your desktop.
7
Using the RAID Utility
Once launched, the RAID Utility will briefl y scan for your DriveStation
Duo. This may take a few seconds.
The initial screen will show your current confi guration. If your Duo is
new, it will probably be in RAID 1 mode.
To change the RAID mode, click [Confi g] and choose [Disk Confi g].
8
Using the RAID Utility
Select the drive structure that you’d like to use.
On a PC, the disk can be formatted with FAT32 or NTFS. Select the
format that you prefer. FAT32 is compatible with most Windows PCs
and Macs. NTFS offers the best performance with Windows, but isn’t
compatible with Mac. NTFS is recommended for use with backup, video
editing and other programs that may need fi lesizes larger than 4 GB.
If you are using Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 without SP1 or
later, use compatability mode. Compatability mode will divide drives into
2 TB partitions that can be read by Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.
Click [Yes], and [Yes] again. Understand that this will erase any data on
the drive!

To Windows Users
The message below may be displayed when you try to change the
disk confi guration (such as by selecting NTFS format) using the RAID
Management Utility.
If this message appears, wait until the changes to the disk confi guration
are complete and “The setting was successfully changed” is displayed,
then click [Cancel]. The disk is now ready to use.
If you inadvertently click [Format disk] in the above message, one of
the following things will happen.
• If “You do not have suffi cient rights to perform this operation” is
displayed, click [OK].
• If “Not Formattable” is displayed, click [Close].
• If the standard Windows format screen is displayed, click [Close].
Note: If the drive is formatted with the Windows format utility,
changes to the disk confi guration may not complete normally.
If this happens, use the RAID Management Utility to set the
disk confi guration again.
