Error Message 

Explanation 

Number of disks 
found = y, 
needed = z 

The number of disks found (y) does not match the 
number of disks configured for.    The number of disks 
needed (z) is required. 

Disk x not 
installed! 

A disk drive (x)    is not installed or is unable to be 
accessed. 

Disk x previously 
removed! 

A disk (x ) was removed due to a failed disk or by the 
operator. 

Too many RAID 
members failed! 

The minimum number of disks required for the RAID 
configuration failed to initialize. 

RAID not 
configured! 

RAID can not be configured due to too few good disks 
available or no RAID configuration has been performed. 

Disk x is too 
small! 

A disk capacity being added to an existing RAID 
configuration is less than the configured disks.    To add a 
disk to an existing configuration the disk must be the 
equal size or greater. 

Disk x format 
ERROR! 

Disk (x) failed during the format.    Possible bad disk. 

Init RAID5 
ERROR! 

The RAID 5 initialization failed.    Possible bad disk. Use 
Disk Check to identify faulty disk. 

Disk x add 
ERROR! 

Disk (x) being added failed.    Possible bad disk. Use Disk 
Check to identify faulty disk. 

Parity ERROR: 
blk ? !! 

A parity byte was unable to be read/write.    Blk ? is the 
block (sector) on the disks that failed. Possible bad disk. 

RAID 5 Check 
ERROR! 

The R5 Check function failed.    Possible wrong RAID 
configuration or not initialized (Init RAID5). 

UPS interrupt 
detected ! 

A power outage was detected by the UPS and notified the 
ProRAID via the UPS port 

Param vendor
