OWC Mercury Rack Pro mini-SAS
Chapter 2 - System Setup
2.2 Replacing Drives
If one of the drives fail,
the corresponding activity
LED will light up solid red
If only one drive is defec-
tive and your controller
card’s RAID mode is set
to RAID 1, RAID 3, RAID
5, or RAID 10, the data
can still be accessed, but
we strongly suggest that
you replace the faulty
drive mechanism immedi-
ately to assure continued
backup and data safety. To
remove the hard drive from the enclosure, simply use the flip lever located above the
hard drive to eject the drive mechanism.
If more than one drive fails at the same time, or if one drive fails and your controller
card’s RAID mode is not set to a mode with redundancy, data will be lost.
1. Check the Drive LED and replace the faulty drive. The red LED indicates the defective
hard drive. Depending on the controller card you are using, the power may need to be
turned off - check your controller card manual to confirm this. You may be able to leave
the RAID powered on.
2. After replacing the defective drive, power on the OWC Mercury Rack Pro (if neces-
sary).
3. Using the RAID controller card managment software, follow the instructions there or
within the RAID controller card manual to proceed with the rebuild process. Depend-
ing on the card you are using, this may be automatic.
NOTE: Combined drives or independent drives can have the data from the good drives
recovered in most cases.
