This feature applies only to physical drives assigned to disk arrays.
Caution
Forcing a physical drive offline is likely to cause data loss. Back
up your data before you proceed. Use this function only when
required.
Important

degraded. If Auto Rebuild is enabled and a spare drive is available, the
disk array begins rebuilding itself automatically.

1. Click the Device tab.
2. Click the Physical Drive icon.
3. Click the down arrow button to list the physical drives in the enclosure.
4. Mouse over the physical drive you want to force offline.
5. Click the Force Offline button.
6. In the Confirmation box, type the word “ confirm ” in the field provided and click the Confirm button.
