UNICOM E-1800 R5 Replacement /Installation Instructions

Step 8: After replacing the failed disk, the green and amber LEDs of the new disk will
start to blink which indicates that the mirror is rebuilding.
If one were to reboot and enter the RAID firmware they would see the current percentage
of the rebuild. Once the rebuild has completed, the RAID will be marked as "Optimal" in the
firmware utility and the amber led will be off. The front bezel can now be replaced.
Step 7: Press firmly on the
drive once the handle is locked
to ensure that the drive is fully
engaged.
E-1800 R5 Single Hard Drive
Replacement / Installation Instructions
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THIS!
The replacement of a single FAILED drive can be done while the application is still
running. It does not require the appliance to be turned OFF or the operating system
(OS) to be shutdown. These are hot-swappable hard disk drives that can be removed
and re-installed while power is ON. The appliance will automatically detect the
removal of a FAILED or defective drive and the installation of its replacement.
This is an appliance with RAID storage. Single hard drive failures do not result in an
appliance failure. It will operate in the DEGRADED state until a replacement drive is
installed and a REBUILD of that drive's data is complete. When the REBUILD is done,
the appliance returns to the OPTIMAL state.
Hardware Configuration
It is possible that one or two disks, depending on the RAID type, could be marked as
bad and the RAID marked as degraded, but this will not affect the appliance's
ability to operate.
CAUTION
Removal of any other drives during this procedure or
during the REBUILD will result in system failure.
