How to change from JBOD to Raid1 on RN10200

How and where do I change the Raid level from JBOD to Raid1. All the othere RN10200 devices we have are set to that. This one is JBOD and it has disk 1 in blue and disk 2 in red, not being used. Also...is this going to wipe everything out and I have to start over or will it sync disk 2 without all of that?

Model: RN10200|ReadyNAS 100 Series 2-Bay (Diskless)

Turn XRAID on (there should be a green stripe on the XRAID control if it is already on).

 

You might need to click on the red drive and then click format.

The XRAID does have a green stripe on it. If I click format on the red drive #2, will the NAS keep functioning, will it format and then sync? I am not familiar with what will happen and I don't want to wreck all the work I just did copying everything. I did not realize it wasn't turned on, simply being a newb and all.

Yes - if the drive is the same size (or larger) than drive 1.

Yes, they are both 1TB. Thank you so much!
