Reconstruction begins automatically as soon as a replacement drive becomes
available to the array. However, if the replacement drive was formerly part of
another array, then the previous array information must be deleted (from the
replacement drive – see page 29, “Delete Array”, for more details) before
reconstruction begins.
Attention
The electronic components within the UltraTrak100 disk array are
