Identifying Drives

Assuming there is a failed drive in the RAID 5 logical drive, make it a
point to replace the failed drive with a new drive to keep the logical
drive working.
When trying to remove a failed drive and you mistakenly removed
the wrong drive, you will no longer be able to read/write the logical
drive because the two drives may have already failed.
To prevent this from happening, the controller provides an easy way
of identifying for the failed drive. That is, the read/write LED of the
failed hard drive will light. This LED will
removing the wrong drive, and is also helpful when locating for a
drive.
