PRO IDC Installation and User’s Manual
1. Introduction
We appreciate your purchase of this product from Dulce Systems. You have
everything you need to quickly and easily connect the storage unit to your editing
computer or shared storage network. You are a short time way from your next
blockbuster creation.
This Installation and User’s Manual is intended to streamline the process of
getting your RAID storage system up and running so you can get to work quickly.
For most typical video editing storage requirements, we have preconfigured the
PRO IDC for a much more streamlined installation. Refer to the Pre-
configuration Sheet for the exact pre-configuration of your PRO IDC, the default
configured is for RAID 5 (efficient protection mode) and pre-formatted for Mac
OS X. Just simply follow the installation steps outlined in this manual, and you
will up and running in no time. For Windows operation, a short format process
will be required.
