Never:
Remove more than one hard drive at a time
The StorCenter Pro can continue operating after a single drive failure. Do
NOT remove any other drives while there is a failed drive in the system or
while the replacement drive is being restored.
Insert a spare hot-swappable hard drive until the StorCenter Pro
operating system shows the missing drive
When a hard drive is removed, the system may take a few minutes to
recognize the removal. Do NOT insert a replacement drive until the
Iomega StorCenter Pro has recognized the drive removal. The Iomega
StorCenter Pro will notify you of a hard drive removal through a
notification email or the graphical user interface (GUI).
Interrupt the system rebuild process
After inserting the replacement drive, you MUST allow the RAID volume to
restore. An active restoration is indicated by either a flashing status LED
in conjunction with continuous hard drive activity, or by continuous
independent hard drive activity. During this process, do NOT remove any
of the hard drives or power down the StorCenter Pro. This process may
take many hours depending on the capacity of the RAID volume and
amount of data that is being restored.
