volumes, and, consequently, they cannot be designated as spares at
a later time. If a spare is designated in the BIOS screen, the designa-
tion and configuration is in effect from this point on. The spare
drive will be displayed as a Hot Spare in the 3DM configuration
page.
3DM Configure Page
In order to designate an available drive as a spare from the 3DM
configure page, you must ensure that the drive is not a JBOD drive
or part of an existing array. To designate a drive as a Hot Spare
from this page, you must use one of the two following methods:
Replacing a Defective Drive with a Spare
Replace the drive at the operating system level while the system is
powered. This should only be done with an approved and recog-
nized hot swap drive-carrier. If you do not use an approved and rec-
ognized hot swap drive-carrier, connecting interface cables and
power cables can/will crash the system from bus or power supply
issues. Select the checkbox next to the drive to be removed and
click
Remove Drive . Select the same checkbox and then click Add
Spare .
Adding a Spare Drive to an Available Port
To add a new spare, follow the same steps except you will not be
required to remove a drive.
Invoking the 3ware BIOS tool
Power up or reboot your system. Before the boot phase, wait until
you see a screen similar to Figure 8.
