LaCie Ethernet Disk RAID (Firmware version 1.4) User Manual Managing Your Ethernet Disk RAID page 54 5.7. Advanced Management ■ 5.7.1.

To take advantage of this feature, you must have access to an SMTP e-mail server either within your own network or through an Internet service provider. To set up e-mail alerts: 1.

If you clear this option, you do not have to complete the rest of this procedure; simply click Apply. 4.

Important Info: The e-mail might not be sent immediately when the problem occurs, but will be sent within five minutes of the event. In addition, if the problem is fixed within that time frame - for example, if you replace the disk that failed - the alert will not be sent.
