Solid Amber light on Drive X (where X is the numerical placement of the drive) and the Drive does not spin up.
MegaRAID Utility displays the drive as FAILED.

Procedure


1)  Reboot unit and press Ctrl+M to access the MegaRAID Configuration
    Utility.
2)  At the Management Menu, select Objects and press .
3)  Select Physical Drive and press  in the Objects menu.
4)  In the PHYSICAL DRIVE SELECTION MENU, highlight the failed drive
    and press .
5)  Select "Make Online" and press .
6)  Press the ESC key to back out of the menus and then exit and reboot
    the unit.

COMMENT:
-  If  "Make Online" does not recover the drives, try rebuilding the
   physical drive.
-  If the drive(s) cannot be rebuilt,  a Hard Drive replacement is
   required.

TIP: Running a Scandisk and Chkdsk from a DOS prompt will assist in
   identifying the severity of damage to the HDD but will not rebuild it.
