4. Notes on Spare Drives using the Easy RAID Setting EZ When EZ function is ENABLED the auto rebuilding to spare drive is automatic The degraded RAID group will start rebuilding automatically by using the existing spare drive Spare drive can be either plugged before RAID building or a new drive can be plug as the spare drive when RAID rebuild is required A Which port acts as a spare drive The last drive will automatically become the spare drive For a 3 drive RAID5 with spare Drives connected to SATA ports 1 3 belong to the active RAID5 array and drive connected to port 4 is the spare For a 4 drive RAID10 with spare Drives connected to SATA ports 1 4 belong to the active RAID10 array and drive connected to port 5 is the spare For a 2 drive RAID1 with spare Drives connected to SATA ports 1 amp 4 belong to the active RAID1 array and drive connected to port 5 is the spare B When will rebuild action start When the raid fails and EZ is enabled the HPM XA will automatically rebuild the RAID group using the spare e When the raid fails and EZ is disabled the HPM XA will NOT rebuild the raid group unless you install a good drive to replace the failed drive Connecting the Power Cable and RAID Tower to the Computer Back a Connect the power cord provided from the wall outlet to the back of the tower b Make sure the power is off power LED light should be off Connect the infiniband cable from the back of P
