1). A flashing red LED indicates the failed unit. The Home page of the graphical user interface (GUI) also tells you which unit has failed (see the Nexsan High-Density Storage User Guide). Note In some cases, a RAID Controller needs to be replaced even if it has not failed outright. In this case, you must determine which RAID Controller to replace by following the troubleshooting procedures in Chapter 4 of the Nexsan High-Density Storage User Guide. - Page 36 6. Make sure that the replacement RAID Controller is right side up. The host ports should be at the top. Note If you have a Nexsan expansion unit attached to your Nexsan storage unit, plug the SAS cables from the expansion unit into the expansion ports on the replacement RAID Controller BEFORE you insert the RAID Controller into its slot.
