Swapping a hard-drive in a WNE server
The WNE server is installed with five hard drives installed configured in resilient RAID sets: Bay #1 and Bay #2 form a mirrored system drive. Both drives are the same size (300GB for a DL-180 and 450GB for a DL-380) Bay #3, Bay #4 and Bay #5 combine as a data volume, each drive is 2TB. Each drive has two indicators an online indicator at the bottom (green, flashing or off) and a top fault indicator (normally off) Should a drive begin to fail, it will display an flashing orange fault indicator (top) and you can contact Reuters for a replacement which you can easily replace following the steps below:
After the HDD is swapped the LED will blink/flash during the RAID rebuild. Once complete the fault indicator will clear and the bottom online indicator should be green or flashing (see Bays #2-5) If after replacement the drive fault shows as solid ORANGE as shown for (Bay #1) then follow the steps below:
Note: Swapping the drive with the machine OFF will spoil the RAID and the HDD |
