Hi, here are specs of project:<br />
<br />
Windows 2003<br />
HP ProLiant DL180 G5 - Quad-Core Xeon E5405 2 GHz<br />
HP Smart Array P400/256MB Controller - storage controller (RAID) - SATA-150<br />
Data Drive D: = Four Drives configured in Raid 1+0, one drive has failed.<br />
<br />
Attached is HP ACU report, screen of ACU and a photo showing the amber light on the drive that has failed.<br />
<br />
I have a new replacement drive. The instructions on the ACU says to check power to drive or replace. Can anyone tell correct procedures to replace the failed drive? Is it as simple as just removing the failed drive while the server is powered on and taking a new drive (no prep/format work, just unwrap from packaging) and plugging into same slot as the failed drive?<br />
<br />
I see a firmware update on the Smart Array is recommended, but I am thinking the first step is to replace the failed drive. Thank you<br />

Hi, here are specs of project:

Windows 2003
HP ProLiant DL180 G5 - Quad-Core Xeon E5405 2 GHz
HP Smart Array P400/256MB Controller - storage controller (RAID) - SATA-150
Data Drive D: = Four Drives configured in Raid 1+0, one drive has failed.

Attached is HP ACU report, screen of ACU and a photo showing the amber light on the drive that has failed.

I have a new replacement drive. The instructions on the ACU says to check power to drive or replace. Can anyone tell correct procedures to replace the failed drive? Is it as simple as just removing the failed drive while the server is powered on and taking a new drive (no prep/format work, just unwrap from packaging) and plugging into same slot as the failed drive?

I see a firmware update on the Smart Array is recommended, but I am thinking the first step is to replace the failed drive. Thank you

HP Smart Array P400 - Procedures to Replace Failed Drive in Raid 1+0

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.

Storage

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

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
