This status indication . . .

Signifies that . . .

Drive Not Supported

The drive model is not supported. Replace the
drive with a supported WD drive.

Empty

There is no drive installed, but none was
expected.

Failed

The drive has failed. Replace this drive
immediately.

ID Mismatch

The drive metadata information does not match
its serial number.

Insufficient Capacity

The drive you installed has insufficient capacity to
be part of the mirrored RAID disk array. You could
use it to create a new RAID disk array of smaller
capacity by performing a new RAID configuration,
but that would erase all of your data.

Missing

The expected drive is not installed.

New Drive

The installed drive has not been configured. Click
Configuration and reconfigure the RAID disk
array.

Online

The drive is healthy and part of the RAID disk
array.

Rebuilding

The drive is the target disk of the rebuild operation
and that rebuild operation is still in progress.

CAUTION!

Changing the device configuration reformats both drives, which erases all

of the data on them. If you have been using the device in one mode and want to switch
to a different mode, back up your files to another storage device before changing the
configuration.

Changing the device configuration also removes your password. If you use a password
to protect your device, you will need to re-create it after changing the device
configuration. See “Password Protecting the Device” on page 47.
