Choosing System Options for the Drive
When the system boots, you are presented with the following options:

This is the expected case when a drive fails and a new drive is shipped. In this case, the part
numbers of the existing and new hard drives match and the new drive is completely blank. The
system powers up normally, the new drive is added to the RAID partition without any user
interaction, and background RAID syncing starts. Until the RAID sync is completed the alarm
LED is RED, indicating that there is a single point of failure in the system. When the RAID sync
completes, the alarm becomes GREEN. This process could take up to an hour or so with non SDD
drives.
