9. RAID Disk Failure Recovery
The RS6328 continually monitors the health of each of the disk drives. In the event of a disk failure, an audible
alarm will sound. The WebGUI will also report the failed drive and its physical position.
NOTE: For redundant RAID arrays (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10 or 50), a drive failure does not result in data loss. However,
the array is now in an unprotected state and the failed drive should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid
data loss.
NOTE: If the storage was configured in RS6328 RAID 6 mode, up to two drives can fail with no loss of data.
Replace any failed drive as soon as possible.
Follow the steps below to identify and replace a failed drive.
a. Launch the WebGUI
b. Mute the alarm with the Beeper Mute button.
c.
The WebGUI will display information like that shown below. An exclamation mark on the RAID array icon

which disk unit has failed.
Note: In this example drive 4 of the RAID 5 Array of has failed.
