User’s Manual

- A-2-

or (2) Re-plug the four disks and re-create the Array to R0 (But data in the R5 disks

will be lost due to the destructive init )

7. If I really want to re-create a new RAID. How should I do?

Ö

Remove all disks.

Ö

Power off the subsystem, set up RAID level by selector switch than power on

the subsystem.

Ö

Plug in all of disks to initialize new RAID

.

Ö

If you use previous disks, subsystem will show a message “Create New RAID?”

to confirm with you if you really want to

create a new RAID. Please choose “Yes”

by right button, the initialization will then begin.

Ö

Please notice that the procedure will erase all data of the four disks.

8. The host computer cannot detect the subsystem. What should I do?

Ö

Make sure the host interface connection cable is attached securely to ports on

and the host and is not damaged.

Ö

Check the display for error messages.

9. A disk has failed. What should I do?

Ö

Swap the failed disk with one of the other three disks and turn on. If the same

disk fails, replace the disk. If the failure reappears at the same drive carrier,
either the drive carrier or subsystem is faulty. Perform the next step.

Ö

Swap the position of the drive carrier that failed twice and turn on. If the same

drive carrier fails, replace it. If the failure reappears at the same drive carrier slot,
the subsystem is faulty. Perform the next step.

Ö

The subsystem appears to have an internal malfunction. Consults your dealer.

10. Two disks have failed. What should I do?

Ö

Swap the positions of the failed disks with the remaining two disks. If the same

disks fail, replace them. If the failures reappear at the same drive carriers, either
the drive carriers or subsystem is faulty. Perform the next step.

Ö

Swap the position of the drive carriers that failed twice with the working drive

carriers and turn on. If the same drive carriers fail, replace them. If the failures
reappear at the same drive carrier slots, the subsystem is faulty. Perform the
next step.

Ö

The subsystem appears to have an internal malfunction. Consult your dealer.
