HARDWARE INSTALLATION
37
Note:
The capacity of the replacement drives must be at least
as large as the capacity of the other drives in the raid set.
Drives of insufcient capacity will be failed immediately by
the RAID controller without starting the “Automatic Data
Rebuild”.
2.5.2 Replacing a Failed Drive
With RAID subsystem drive tray, you can replace a defective
physical drive while your computer is still operating. When a new
drive has been installed, data reconstruction will be automatically
started to rebuild the contents of the disk drive. The controller
always uses the smallest hotspare that “ts”. If a hotspare is used
and the defective drive is exchanged on-line, the new inserted
HDD will automatically assign as a hotsapre HDD.
