DOS and Windows 3.1/95/98, you might not be able to

access the extra space if the existing data is stored in

an extended DOS partition. Under Windows NT, you

can use the Disk Administrator to create new

partitions in the extra space of larger drives.

Online Rebuilding feature

The online Rebuilding feature allows you to hot swap a failed

disk drive with a new one, automatically recovering all data to

the new drive with no system down time. When the Controller

Box alerts you that a drive has failed, follow these

instructions.

1. Leave the system turned on. Unlock the carrier of the disk

drive that has failed and slide it out of the 7500 Controller

Box.

NOTE 1: The 7500 will continue to save data to the

remaining disk. No current or new data is lost while

you are replacing the failed drive.

2. Remove the failed disk drive from the carrier and install a

new one according to the instructions given above.

3. Slide the carrier with the new drive into the Controller

Box and lock it.

4. The system will immediately begin mirroring the data

from the first drive to the new drive. Any data on the new

drive is overwritten with the mirror image of the first

drive.
