2. Verify that there are no hardware components in the Unmappable Hardware folder.
a. Expand the navigation tree under the Hardware folder in the Navigation pane.
b. Click the Unmappable Hardware folder.
Hardware components can be placed in the Unmappable Hardware folder for several
reasons. For example, hardware components can be placed in the Unmappable Hardware
folder, when the I/O modules on a disk enclosure are not working, the controllers restart,
or there is a hardware failure. If there are any hardware components listed under this folder,
determine why they are listed there and fix the problems.
