A defective drive may be replaced without interruption of data availability to the host computer. If so
configured, a hot spare drive will automatically replace a failed drive, securing the fault-tolerant integrity of the
logical drive. The self-contained hardware-based RAID logical drive provides maximum performance in a
compact external enclo-sure. See the product manual for information on hot swapping hard drives. See "Task
3: Installing Disk Drives" on page 9 of this guide for instructions to populate the drive bays with hard disks.
