Checking Disk Status LEDs
The disk status LEDs report the condition of the disk drives:
• Blue – Normal disk drive function
• Amber – Rebuilding to this disk drive
• Red – Failed disk drive
• Dark – No disk drive is installed
The disk status LEDs are also dark when the drives are powered down during
system stand-by.

Replacing a Failed Disk Drive
If a disk drive fails, the Disk Status LED is red. See Figure 1. If the disk drive
belongs to a RAID Volume, the Volume goes Critical or Offline.
Replace the failed disk drive with a new disk drive of the same or slightly greater
capacity. You do not have to power down the SmartStor.
1. Open the SmartStor’s front door.
2. Pull out the drive carrier with the failed drive.
3. Remove the failed disk drive from the drive carrier.
4. Install a new disk drive into the carrier.
