If you encounter a problem while using the ACUTA, check this section for help.
1.
When I lock a drive carrier with a disk drive in place, the red disk activity indicator
turns on and an alarm beep sounds. Why?
Make sure the IDE and power connectors of the DISK are connected firmly to their
counterparts inside the drive carrier.
Ensure the DISK is set as single-master.
Change the disk drive with a new one and try again.
Exchange the top and bottom drive carriers and try again to determine if the carrier
itself is faulty.
If all of the above steps fail, contact your vendor.
2.
How can I turn off the alarm beep sound when there is a hard disk failure?
Unlock the drive carrier of the failed disk, or
Press the mute button.
3.
I have connected the ACUTA subsystem, but it does not appear in the
motherboard BIOS. Why?
Ensure that an array is initialized completely.
4.
Why does ACUTA not recognize the DISKs?
There may be an DISK jumper-setting problem. Make sure all drive jumpers are set
to "Single-master". Please refer to FAQ 1.
5.
How should I react to disk failure?
For a RAID 5/RAID 0+1 array, you should replace the failed disk. Data rebuilding will
then begin.
For a RAID 5+hot spare array, data will be rebuilt automatically to the hot spare disk.
There is no need to immediately replace the failed drive.
The capacity of new DISK you installed must equal or larger than the smallest DISK
in Acuta. Otherwise, it will be rejected by Acuta, though it has no any damage.
