I went to pop out the amber disk this morning and when I pushed it it turned green so I left it alone. I just walked past the server and now 2 of the 3 disks in a RAID 5 are blinking amber. Any ideas?

The disk that you had pushed in initially would have been getting PFA predictive failure errors. Now that you had pushed it in, i has called otehr disks to fail. Infact, i am sure its just the array has gone offline. &nbsp;You will need to make the array online and than change your faulty disk..

one of my HP hard drives (493083-001) has an amber light. iLO shows POST Error: 1779-Drive Array Controller Detects Replacement Drives. Everything seems to be running OK, so regarding replacing it, do I just take out the bad drive and pop the new one in?<br />

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
