Step 6. Re-check the SATA HDD LED and Fault LED Cable con-
nections
Be sure that the proper failed drive channel information is displayed by
the Fault and HDD Activity LEDs. An improper connection will tell the
user to ‘‘Hot Swap’’ the wrong drive. This will remove the wrong disk
(one that is functioning properly) from the controller. This can result in
failure and loss of system data.
