Dell t620 PE - System Error Message : PDR 1116

I had to rebuild a 3-disk array for a windows R2 server
.
I replaced the disks, used the perc 6i to create the Raid-5 .. used a Storagecraft Full copy to recover the system
.
Server is back up and running as usual - no issues with this
.
Evidently ... the intial drives must have been in slots: 01,02,03 ... When I removed them I put the new drives in slots: 00,01,02
.
NOW the server keeps giving me the Erro MEssage PDR1116 , Disk 3 is removed or unavailable ... reseat
.
There is no Disk 3 ... I can't figure out how to get rid of that damn blinking yellow Error Message light
There has to be some way to have the server stop thinking there is a drive in slot 3
I assume I could put a disk there just to stop the error, but that seems like a long way around of ignoring my lack of being able to reset the blinking yellow light
.

The other options were methods of attempting to figure out how to fix the issue. The real fix ends up , in this case of a missing disk error for a disk slot that should be empty, is clearing the alert that occurred when a disk was at one time seated in that slot. You have to use the little power-edge dell error code box, and clear the reference to the error from there
