Reconstruction begins automatically as soon as a replacement drive becomes available to the array. However, if the replacement drive was formerly part of another array, then the previous array information must be deleted (from the replacement drive – see page 29, “Delete Array”, for more details) before reconstruction begins.

Attention

The electronic components within the UltraTrak100 disk array are sensitive to damage from ESD (Electro-Static Discharge). Appropriate precautions should be observed at all times when handling the array or its subassemblies.
