      Table 4-7 WORM parameters

      Parameter	Description	Value
      Mode	Regulatory compliance: System administrators and common users cannot modify or delete files within the Retention. System administrators and common users can delete but cannot modify files after the Retention expires.	This parameter cannot be modified.
      Overdue Time	Time when the file system expires. The value is the overdue time of files that expire at last.	This parameter cannot be modified.
      Min. Retention	Minimum retention period supported by the WORM file system. The retention period of a file in the WORM file system cannot be smaller than the value of this parameter.	[Value range] 0 to 70 years or Indefinite. [Default value] 3 years [Example] 3 years NOTE: Min. Retention must be smaller than or equal to Default Retention and Max. Retention.
      Max. Retention	Maximum retention period supported by the WORM file system. The retention period of a file in the WORM file system cannot be larger than the value of this parameter.	[Value range] 1 day to 70 years or Indefinite. NOTE: The maximum retention period cannot be 0. [Default value] 70 years [Example] 10 years
      Default Retention	Default retention period supported by the WORM file system. The retention period of a file in the WORM file system is the default value of the parameter if you do not set a retention period for the file.	[Value range] If the maximum retention period ranges 1 day to 70 years, the default retention period is a value between the minimum and maximum retention periods. If the value of the maximum retention period is Indefinite, the default retention period is a value between the minimum retention period and 70 years or Indefinite. [Default value] 70 years [Example] 10 years NOTE: To set Default Retention as Indefinite, you must set Max. Retention to Indefinite. Otherwise, the setting fails.
      Automatic Lock	If the function is enabled and a file is not modified within the Lockout Wait Time (hours), files enter locked state automatically. Therefore, the file is under protection, and you can only read the file under locked state, but cannot modify, delete or rename it. NOTE: Write operation include file data change or metadata change.	[Default value] Enable [Example] Enable
      Lockout Wait Time (hours)	Retention of a file enters the locked state. NOTE: This parameter is valid only when Automatic Lock is enabled.	[Value range] The value is an integer ranging from 2 to 168. [Default value] 2 [Example] 10
      Automatically Delete	If this mode is enabled, the system automatically deletes files whose protection period is overdue. NOTE: Before enabling this function, ensure that files do not need protection and can be automatically deleted by the system after they expire.	[Default value] Disabled [Example] Enable

5. Click OK.

   The Execution Result dialog box is displayed indicating operation success.
