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.

DRIVE REPLACEMENT

The bottom of the disk drive sets into the mounting assembly. Secure the disk drive in place with four screws.
