Setup Procedures 1.
Place the NA762TB on a level surface and remove each disk module.
2.
Carefully insert the HDD into each disk module and secure them with the provided mounting screws. Once complete, insert each disk module back into the front panel of the NA762TB.

With the power cord connected to the power source, turn on the NA672TB using the power switch on the rear panel (switch to the “I” position to power on the NA762TB).
5.
NA762TB is designed to be powered on and powered off simultaneously with the HOST system, when the NA762TB is connected to the HOST system with the Thunderbolt cable. Therefore, power on HOST first – the NA762TB will automatically power on. (NA762TB supports hot-plug and hot-unplug for powering-on and powering-off)
Using the NA762TB 1.
Verify the NA762TB is recognized by the HOST system. Click the Apple icon on top left of the screen, and select About This Mac, and then select More Info. Next, select System Report, and select Thunderbolt on left side of the pane of System Information. Select the device of NA762TB under Thunderbolt Device Tree, and then information such as Vendor Name, Device Name, Vendor ID appears within the pane, meaning the storage is recognized by the HOST system.

Verify the NA762TB RAID Controller driver. Following step 1, check to make sure the “Driver Installed” status for the NA762TB is “Yes”. If you are using OS X 10.9.x (Mavericks), the driver is natively supported by the OS. If you are using OS X 10.8.x (Mountain Lion) or earlier, you will need to download and install the Thunderbolt Aware driver for the NA762TB’s RAID controller. To download the driver, please visit the NA762TB product page on: http://www.hptmac.com

After verifying the RAID driver, download the NA762TB’s Web RAID Management interface (WebGUI). The WebGUI is available from the NA762TB product page on http://www.hptmac.com 3.
After downloading and installing the WebGUI, open the WebGUI by double-clicking the icon found on the desktop:
Login to the WebGUI to configure RAID arrays. Use the default user name: RAID and password: hpt to login. To learn how to use the WebGUI, please visit: http://www.highpoint-tech.com/help/en/r_content.html#logical1 4.
After the RAID volume has been configured, OS X will display a pop-up window.
Select the RAID volume that has been built, and select Erase on top, name the RAID volume in the center part, and then select Erase on bottom right of the pane to format the RAID volume. After formatting, the RAID volume is ready for use.

Note: to eject the RAID volume on Mac OS, select Go on top of OS screen, and select Computer. Right-click the RAID volume and then select Eject to safely eject the RAID volume from the computer.
