I’ve replaced a drive that the controller made “dead.” Now what
do I do to recover the data?
The following procedure will only work for “replaced” drives that are part of
a RAID 1, 3, 5, or 0+1 drive group. Using the Main menu, do the following:
1. Select Rebuild.
2. Highlight the drive that has been replaced. The status should read
‘DED’. Press the Enter key.
3. DACCF will ask you if you want to low-level format the drive.
• If this is a new drive that has not been used in this array before, allow
the drive to be low-level formatted before the rebuild takes place by
answering YES.
• Answering NO will skip the low-level format and proceed directly
to the rebuild of data on the “new” drive.
4. Any defined system drives will then be rebuilt on the “new” drive in
sequential order.
How do I change the write policy on a existing configuration?

menu.
