MANAGING STORAGE ON THE WD SENTINEL SERVER to perform this operation. While the server is verifying the RAID array, your data continues to be available albeit the performance may be impacted. The WD Sentinel server RAID system has no downgrade options. Once available capacity has been increased, the Administrator cannot decide to subsequently reduce capacity by removing a drive. The removal of a drive degrades the RAID and makes it vulnerable to single drive failure. Using USB Storage On the back of the WD Sentinel server are two USB 3.0 ports that can connect to external USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 storage devices or to a UPS device for power outage conditions. For example, WD Passport or WD Essentials may be used to connect to the WD Sentinel server. You can share this data on your USB drive with other users connected to the server by using the Dashboard, which treats the USB drive as a share. You set user privileges just as you do with shared folders on the WD Sentinel server's drives. The server manages UPS capability through a USB port for communication and to ensure an orderly shut down. To share data on a USB drive: 1. Connect a USB drive to either of the two USB ports. 2. On the Dashboard, click the Servers Folders and Hard Drives icon. WD SENTINEL DX4000 32 ADMINISTRATOR'S MANUAL

WD SENTINEL DX4000
ADMINISTRATOR’S MANUAL
to perform this operation. While the server is verifying the RAID array, your data
continues to be available albeit the performance may be impacted.
The WD Sentinel server RAID system has no downgrade options. Once available
capacity has been increased, the Administrator cannot decide to subsequently
reduce capacity by removing a drive. The removal of a drive degrades the RAID and
makes it vulnerable to single drive failure.
Using USB Storage
On the back of the WD Sentinel server are two USB 3.0 ports that can connect to
external USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 storage devices or to a UPS device for power outage
conditions. For example, WD Passport or WD Essentials may be used to connect to
the WD Sentinel server. You can share this data on your USB drive with other users
connected to the server by using the Dashboard, which treats the USB drive as a
share. You set user privileges just as you do with shared folders on the
WD Sentinel server’s drives. The server manages UPS capability through a USB port
for communication and to ensure an orderly shut down.
To share data on a USB drive:
1.
Connect a USB drive to either of the two USB ports.
2.
On the Dashboard, click the
Servers Folders and Hard Drives
icon.
