Removing A 2.5-Inch Drive - Dell EqualLogic PS4100 Hardware Maintenance Manual

PS4100 Hardware Maintenance Guide
• There is a two-minute delay between the time you insert a drive and the time the drive is automatically
configured into a RAID set. This time interval allows multiple drives to be simultaneously configured
in an array, which is more efficient than installing a single drive, configuring it, and then repeating the
process. For example, when you install a drive, the timer starts. If no other drives are installed, the drive
is configured after a delay of two minutes. If you install another drive before two minutes have elapsed,
the timer is restarted.
• If you install a drive during RAID reconstruction or verification, the new drive will not be configured
until the operation completes.
