Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1.
Determine which hard disk the RAID controller has reported as being faulty (hard disk at
port 0, 1 or 2, see "Identifying a defective hard drive" above).
2.
Remove the drive from the removable rack (see "Expansions and parameter
assignment", section "Installing drives or removable racks (Page 62)").
3.
Always replace the defective disk with a new one of the same type and capacity. Take
care not to touch the contacts.
4.
Reinstall the drive in the removable rack.
Information about the recovery of the RAID system is available in the chapter "RAID System
(Page 42)".
4.3.3
System with two hard disks
The system with two hard disks is an optional feature for the device.
When the device ships, the second hard disk is connected to SATA port 1. This hard disk
drive is not set up. This gives you the option of backing up your data to this hard disk. For
information on hard disk capacities, refer to your order documentation.
Booting from the slave hard disk
In order to allow booting from the second hard disk, you need to configure it as the primary
boot device.
