6. Alarm Conditions / Degraded RAID Set

There are two possible sources for alarms: one from the drive enclosure, the
other from the RAID Controller installed inside the computer.

Enclosure Alarms
(Audible and red indicators):

• Temperature (enclosure detected over heating

condition)

• Fan (enclosure cooling fan not operational, could lead

to over heating)

Mute Alarm: Enclosure audible alarm can be muted
by pressing the green mute button above the
indicators, the red indicator remains on until the
condition is corrected.



RAID Controller Alarm
(Audible and RAID Console GUI indicator):

• Degraded RAID Set (one or more drives not detected

or down)

• Temperature (RAID Controller detected over heating)

Mute Alarm: RAID Controller Alarm can be muted by
the RAID Console. Start the RAID Console GUI, go
to System Controls > View Event / Mute Beeper.




The Systems Event Information screen provides a log of events which triggered
the alarm. The example below shows the RAID Set is degraded because IDE
Channel 4 (drive 4) was removed.

Replacing a Drive Module

A defective drive module can be easily replaced. Hot swapping is allowed
without interruption to your workflow if the RAID is operating in one of the drive
redundant RAID mode (1,3,5,6).

In a redundant RAID mode, rebuild will start automatically after replacement of a
defective module.

• Pull lock pin right to unlock during insert and removal.
