ServeRAID information In some cases, the ServeRAID controller will automatically reset
the drive to the Hot Spare or Rebuild state. If the drive state change does not occur
automatically (amber LED stays lit), refer to your ServeRAID documentation for information
about manually changing the state of the drive from the current state to another state, such
as Hot Spare or Ready. The amber LED should turn off within 10 seconds after the
drive-state change.
