Connecting from Two Different Network*
Synology Server supports dual LAN that allows you to connect to the network
with two LAN cables at the same time, or to set the Synology Server using two IP
addresses under different subnets. Please go to the "System > Network" page of
the Web Management UI for setup.
Managing Volume*
You can combine hard disks on Synology Server to create different types of
volumes, and find the data protection level of your need. The Synology Server
provides you various volume types as follows:
Volume Amount of Functionality
Type
composed
hard disk
Basic
1
A Basic (non-RAID) volume must be created with one hard
disk as an independent unit. When creating a Basic volume,
you can select only one hard disk at a time.
RAID 0 2~4
RAID 1 2
Combining multiple disks to build a volume, RAID 0 offers
Striping, a process of dividing data into blocks and spreading
the data blocks across several hard disks, but without safety
measures.
One of the composed disks is used for backup purposes; the
content of disk A is mirrored to disk B to assure data integrity.
Therefore the actual available storage capacity equals to
only the capacity of one hard disk.
RAID 5 3~4
This configuration includes a backup option. It uses parity
mode to store redundant data on space equal to the size of
one disk for later data recovery. Therefore the actual
available storage capacity equals to the capacity of n-1 hard
disks.
Managing Volume*
You can create, remove, and repair volume. For the detailed description, please
refer to Help on “Storage > Volume” page.
* Supported on specific models only. Please refer to the product

Repairing Volume by Hot Swapping*
Synology Server provides hot swapping function. When you need to replace
crashed disks in Synology Server, you don’t need to turn off the server. You can
refer to the disk status on the management UI, or the front panel LED indicators
to identify crashed disks, and directly pull out the hard disk tray to replace the
crashed disk with a new one. Then follow the steps on management UI to repair
the degraded volume right after replacing the hard disk.
Joining Windows Domain*
You can add Synology Server to Windows domain and let the domain users
access the Synology Server. Synology Server supports Active Directory Service
(ADS) domain. After adding the Synology Server to a Windows domain, you can
go to the "Privileges > Shared Folder" page to assign the domain users’
privileges of shared folders on the server. When domain users access the
Synology Server, they only need to enter their domain account and password,for
authentication.
For the detailed description, please refer to Help on “Network Services >
Win/Mac OS” page.
