Description
Healthy
Your device is “healthy” and operating.
Degraded
Your device is still functioning but the drive in either slot A
or B may have a problem. Refer to section 7 of this manual
for information on how to replace a drive.
Rebuilding
Your device is in RAID 1 mode and is rebuilding the data
for a newly replaced disk. The rebuilding process may take
about 6 to 12 hours depending on the capacity of your
drive. You may access the data in the device while it's
rebuilding.
Bad
Your device may have a problem. Disconnect then re-
connect the power cable and/or the interface cable. If the
problem persists, visit our WD knowledge base at
support.wdc.com
for more information and help.
Setting Mismatched
Your device is in RAID 1 mode with both drives detected as
master. You must designate a single master (disk A or B)
using RAID Manager. The data on the master will be
accessed and mirrored to the secondary drive during the
rebuilding process.
Not Configured
The RAID setting is not configured. Use RAID Manager to
configure it to either RAID 0 or RAID 1.
Unknown
The RAID configuration information is not available. The
driver for My Book interface device may not be installed
properly. Turn off the device, re-install My Book RAID
Manager from the software CD and turn the device back
on. Your system should detect My Book and prompt you to
install the driver. Allow your system to automatically locate
the driver and complete the installation.
