Possible RAID issue
I am looking at a PowerEdge 2800 with 5 drives:
Drive 0
Drive 1
Drive 2
Drive 3
Drive 4
All drives are solid green except Drive 2... flashing orange.
Can I simply shut down the server, pull out and replace the drive, reboot and all will be well?

Never power off the server to replace a hot-swappable drive. Pull the drive "hot", then insert the new drive. If it doesn't start rebuilding automatically within a minute, then assign the disk as a Hot-Spare to start the rebuild.

As you can probably tell I am not fluent in RAIDs. How could I determine that the drive is hot swappable?
