Activating the Software RAID
It is not necessary to activate the software RAID when you are replacing a hard disk drive on an
appliance.
Important - Do not turn off the appliance while the hard disk drives are synchronizing. If
the software RAID is degraded or faulty, remove the faulty and non-synchronized hard
disk drive before the appliance starts. The appliance is forced to boot from the working
synchronized hard disk drive.
To activate the software RAID:
1. Restart the appliance.
2. After the LCD panel shows the appliance logo, install the second hard disk drive.
After a few seconds, the appliance identifies the new hard disk drive.
3. Log in to the appliance.
4. Enter expert mode.

Software RAID is activated and the appliance synchronizes the hard disk drives. The first
synchronization can continue for over an hour.
