Comments about faults

Notice

Input delay

Depending on the load on the processor and the hard disk activity at the time, the system may become briefly overloaded when a disk fails due to the synchronization process.

In extreme cases, input from the keyboard and touchscreen may be delayed for a brief period.

Replace faulty drive in RAID system

In order to return to the safe RAID1 state after a malfunction, the faulty drive must be replaced with a new drive. The RAID software reports which drive is faulty and gives details of the functioning drive.

The functioning drive is displayed by BIOS together with its port number and by the RAID software with its RAID device port number.
