Description
Healthy
Your device is “healthy” and operating.
Degraded
Your device is still functioning but the drive in either slot A 
or B may have a problem. Refer to section 7 of this manual 
for information on how to replace a drive.
Rebuilding
Your device is in RAID 1 mode and is rebuilding the data 
for a newly replaced disk. The rebuilding process may take 
up to 12 hours depending on the capacity of your drive. 
Your data in the device is still accessible while it's 
rebuilding.
Bad
Your device may have a problem. Disconnect then re-
connect the power cable and/or the interface cable. If the 
problem persists, visit our WD knowledge base at 
for more information and help.
Setting Mismatched
Your device is in RAID 1 mode with both drives detected as 
master. You must designate a single master (disk A or B) 
using RAID Manager. The data on the master will be 
accessed and mirrored to the secondary drive during the 
rebuilding process. 
Not Configured
The RAID setting is not configured. Use RAID Manager to 
configure it to either RAID 0 or RAID 1.
Unknown
The RAID configuration information is not available. The 
driver for My Book interface device may not be installed 
properly. Turn off the device, re-install My Book RAID 
Manager and/or drivers from the software CD and turn the 
device back on. Your system should detect My Book and 
prompt you to install the driver. Allow your system to 
automatically locate the driver and complete the installation.
