Firewall Software Configuration

If you are using a software firewall (i.e. Norton Internet Security) and are having

trouble connecting to the 1U4500, you can try the following steps:

1. Double click the NIS icon on system tray, and then configure the

Personal Firewall.

2. On the Programs page, find the SetupWizard.exe and change its

permission to "Permit All". If it's not in the program list, use the Add or

Program Scan buttons to find it.

3. On the Networking page, manually add 1U4500 IP address (i.e.

192.168.1.100

) to the Trusted list.

Replacing Damaged Hard Drives

If you are using RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10, you can easily replace a
damaged hard drive in the Thecus 1U4500 while keeping your data secure with
the system’s automatic data recovery.

Hard Drive Damage

When a hard drive is damaged, its bottom LED glows a steady red. If there is
data in the RAID volume, the system LED also glows red and the system beeps.

Replacing a Hard Drive

To replace a hard disk drive in the 1U4500:

1. Remove the tray with the damaged hard disk.

2. Unscrew the damaged hard disk and remove it from the tray.

3. Slide a new hard disk into the tray and fasten the screws.

4. Insert the hard disk tray back into the 1U4500 until it snaps into place.

You can also lock it with a key if desired.

5. The LED blinks green when the HDD is accessed. If the Error LED flashes

red, it signals a problem.

RAID Auto-Rebuild

When using RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10 on the 1U4500, you can use the auto-rebuild
function when an error is detected.

1. When a hard disk fails the system beeps and/or an email notification is

sent to specified receivers.


2. Check the hard disk error LEDs to see which disk has failed.

3. Follow the steps mentioned above to replace the failed hard disk.

4. The system automatically recognizes the new hard disk and starts the

auto-rebuild sequence to resume its status before the hard disk crash.
