1. Perform one of the following actions:
• From the Dashboard window, click the Disk Array link.
• From the Storage menu, choose Disk Array.
2. Mouse-over the disk array you want, then click the Transport button.
3. In the Confirmation box, type the word "CONFIRM" in the field provided, then click the Confirm
button. The disk array status will change to Transport Ready.
4. Remove the physical drives and install them in their new location.
See Replacing a Physical Drive for more information.

Rebuilding a Disk Array

When you rebuild a disk array, you actually rebuild data on one physical drive from redundant data
maintained on other drives. If there is no spare drive of adequate capacity, you must replace the failed
drive with an unconfigured physical drive, then perform a Manual Rebuild.
On the carrier with the failed drive, the drive power/ status LED will be red.
