LaCie Ethernet Disk RAID (Firmware version 1.4) User Manual Managing Your Ethernet Disk RAID page 54 5.7. Advanced Management ■ 5.7.1. Alerts The Alerts page allows you to set up the Ethernet Disk RAID to notify up to three people via email if a problem occurs-for example, if one of the disks fails, or if insufficient space is available for creating new files or performing a backup. 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. In the navigation bar, click Advanced. 2. On the Advanced page, click Alerts. 3.

If you select this option, you must provide the fully qualified domain name or IP address of your e-mail server and at least one e-mail address. If you clear this option, e-mail notifications will not be sent, and all the related fields on this page appear dimmed. However, if you previously entered information on this page, that information is retained so that you can easily re-enable e-mail notifications later. If you clear this option, you do not have to complete the rest of this procedure; simply click Apply. 4. In the SMTP server name or IP address text box, enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of your e-mail server. 5.

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.
