4. Select RAID 5 Status. This option displays a listing of HDDs in the HT Server. Look for the drive
that is labeled as "Degraded".
The drives on HT Servers are physically labeled with numbers on the front panel.
HT04 Servers use drives labeled 1-4, and HT12 Servers use drives 1-12 (see
FIG. 39). However, the drives are listed in the RAID 5 Status window (of the Admin
Menu) starting with zero (0). Therefore, note that drive "0" in the Raid 5 Status
window equates to the drive labeled "1" on the front of the HT Server. Remember that
each drive number in the Raid 5 Status list is offset by one relative to the labels on
the front of the HT Server.
