for information on how to replace a drive.
Rebuilding

Setting Mismatched

master. You must designate a single master (disk A or B)

accessed and mirrored to the secondary drive during the
rebuilding process.
Not Configured

properly. Turn off the device, re-install My Book RAID
Manager and/or drivers from the software CD and turn the

automatically locate the driver and complete the installation.
