7. Power on the server, start the SETUP utility, select [Boot] → [Hard Disk],
and set the boot priority in the submenu. This procedure is necessary
because installing an additional hard disk drive clears the current setting of
the boot priority.
8. Install the front bezel.
In the disk array configuration, you can use the auto-rebuild feature to restore
the data that was on the removed hard disk drive.
The auto-rebuild feature is available for the RAID1, RAID5, or RAID0+1 disk
array configurations.
Auto-rebuild is carried out when you hot-swap a failed hard disk with a new one
(replacing the disk drive with a new one while the server is powered up). The
DISK lamp flashes green and amber alternatively to indicate the auto-rebuild is
in process.
IMPORTANT:
!
When auto-rebuild fails, the disk lamp lights amber. Remove and install the
hard disk again to restart auto-rebuild.
!
If the disk array monitoring utility is installed, it may display or act as
follows. If the disk lamp does not light in amber after auto-rebuild, however,
auto-rebuild has completed successfully.
– Displays "Rebuild was cancelled" on the screen while auto-rebuild is in
progress.
– Appears to stop and restart auto-rebuild.
Observe the following notes for auto-rebuild.
!
Do not power off the server during auto-rebuild.
!
When you remove a hard disk, wait at least 90 seconds before re-
installing the hard disk.
!
Do not replace another hard disk while rebuilding is in progress. (The
disk lamp flashes in green and amber alternatively while rebuilding the
hard disk.)
!
Perform the above procedure when replacing the hard disk drive in the
flex bay.
