Recovery Steps

1

Remove the by-passed drive. If the by-passed drive was recently used to replace another drive in this same drive slot or was inserted into an empty drive slot, go to step 2. Otherwise, go to step 3.

3

Obtain a replacement drive for the by-passed drive that is appropriate for the drive enclosure (see the Important Notes section). Wait 30 seconds and then insert the new drive. Its fault indicator light may be lit for a short time (one minute or less). Go to step 5.

4

Wait 30 seconds and then re-insert the drive. Its fault indicator light may be lit for a short time (one minute or less). Go to step 5.
