6.8.7 Activate Failed Disk

It forces the current “failed” disk in the system to be back online.

“Activate Failed Disk” function has no effect on the removed disks,

because a “removed” disk does not give the controller a chance to

mark it as “failure”.

Followings are considered as “Removed-Disk”:

1. Manually removed by user.

2. Losing PHY connection due to bad connector, cable or back-

plane.

3. Losing PHY connection due to disk fail.

Basically, in the eyes of the controller, the disk suddenly disap-

pears due to whatever reason.

6.8.8 Identify Enclosure

To prevent removing the wrong enclosure, the selected Areca ex

-

pander enclosure all disks fault LED indicator will light for physi-

cally locating the selected enclosure when the “Identify Enclo-

sure” is selected. This function will also light up the enclosure LED

indicator, if it is existed.
