Responding to Logical Drive Problems
When you boot your system, the BIOS screen informs you if there is a critical or
offline logical drive.
• RAID 1, 5, or 10 logical drives go Critical when one physical drive fails.
• RAID 0 and SPAN logical drives go Offline when a physical drive fails.
Failed JBOD disks do not appear in the BIOS screen.
Choose one of the following applications to identify the failed drive:
• RAID Management Utility – See “Finding a Failed Disk Drive in the RAID
Management Utility” below.
• WebPAM – Allow your PC to finish booting, then launch WebPAM.
See “Responding to a Critical or Offline Logical Drive” on page 91 for more
information.
Finding a Failed Disk Drive in the RAID Management Utility
1. Check the Logical Drive Status.
• If the Status shows Rebuilding, wait for the rebuild to finish.
• If the Status shows Critical or Offline, proceed now.
2. Press Ctrl-F to enter the Utility.
3. In the Main Menu, press 1 to display View Drive Assignments, then look for a
physical drive that was present before but no longer appears.
The failed drive is attached to the missing channel.
4. Shut down your PC and replace the failed drive as soon as possible.
