Create a New Volume on the NetCenter
1. Click Create a New Volume.
Note: If the “not enough drive space” message displays, follow the steps under “Resize a
Volume” on page 46.
2. Type in a new volume name in the New Volume Name field. The new volume is
automatically assigned the remaining space on the drive (click Manual Configuration and
move the diamond-shaped slider to the left or type a value to assign only a portion of the
remaining drive space). Click Create Volume.
Auto Configuration automatically spans an attached USB drive and sets it up as contiguous

uncheck Auto Configuration and click Manual.

volume status displays.
CAUTION: Do not perform any browser operations or power off the NetCenter during
