This section focuses on how to address issues that might appear during the lifetime of

the Vess Class A Series enclosure. Common issues that customers might see include hard

drive problems and how to know when there is a problem with a hard drive, and how to

create and send a service report to technical support.

If a hard drive has errors, is about to fail or has already failed, it will need to be

replaced. Follow the instructions in “Installing Disk Drives” on page 29 to swap out bad

hard drives.

Note

Hard drives on all Vess A Class Series models can be hot swapped, that

is, they can be replaced without first shutting down the system.

Note

Follow the instructions in

“Installing Disk Drives” on page 29

swap out bad hard drives.

This chapter includes the following troubleshooting sections and related information:

• “How do I know when a drive is failing?”

• “How to Rebuild a Disk Array”

• “The Alarm Buzzer is Sounding, what does this mean?”

• “How to disable the alarm buzzer”

• “How to Save a Service Report”
