5. Place the carrier with the new disk drive back into the open slot in the
SmartStor.
If the failed drive belonged to a RAID Volume, the RAID Volume will begin
rebuilding as soon as the new drive is installed.
During the Rebuild, the Disk Status LED show amber. When the Rebuild is
finished, the Disk Status LED turns green.
If the replacement drive is free, that is, not assigned to a RAID Volume or as a
spare, the Disk Status LED remains dark after you install the new drive.

See “PASM in your Browser” on page 80.
Or see “PASM in SmartNAVI” on page 81.
2. In the Tree, click the + beside the RAID & File System icon.
3. Click the RAID Management icon.
The status is displayed in the RAID Status tab.

SmartStor Responds to a Critical RAID Volume
How the SmartStor responds to a Critical RAID Volume depends on the RAID
level of your Volume and whether you have a spare drive available:
• For RAID 1, you must replace the failed disk drive. The RAID Volume will
begin rebuilding itself when you install the new disk drive. See “Replacing a
Failed Disk Drive” on page 124.
