Replacing a failed hard drive
Follow these steps to install the hot-pluggable hard drive into the
system.
Caution:
Do not replace more than one hard drive at a time.
1. Remove the NAS 1500s front bezel.
a.
Locate the two bezel latches found on the front of the
bezel. Push the latches inward.
b.
Pull the front bezel away from the unit.
2. Remove the failed hard drive from the disk enclosure before
installing a new hard drive.
a.
Use the release lever to disengage the hard drive.
b.
Pull the drive from the server.
3. Slide the replacement drive into the server.
Be sure that the drive is fully seated and that the release lever
locks into place.
The new drive is automatically rebuilt using the RAID settings of
the remaining drives.
Detecting a hard drive failure
The hard drive indicator light shows the status of the hard drive:
■
Unlit—drive is idle
■
Fast blinking—there is drive activity
■
Slow blinking—drive failure or rebuild mode
If the hard drive light indicates a failure, check the application log
or Adaptec Storage Manager by selecting Adaptec Storage
Manager from the Disks tab.
Note:
The system also emits a failed hard drive alert sound.
