Re: HARD DISK NEW BUT STILL RED LIGHT

What drives? What controller? How do you have them attached?

Re: HARD DISK NEW BUT STILL RED LIGHT

I have a similar problem; 1850R with 3200 Array controller w/ 2x 9.1GB drives in RAID1 config. The drive in slot 0 has failed at what appears to be random occasions and I have replaced it each time. I had a Compaq engineer out to have a look at it, but all he did was change the array controller. The drive failed again this weekend after about one month of no problems. I am beginning to suspect SCSI issues with the drive in Slot1.

Any one have any ideas?

Re: HARD DISK NEW BUT STILL RED LIGHT

I believe that if you upgrade the firmware of the controller that it fixes this issue...

As i had a similar one, that caused compaq to create the same scenario, that was their resolve
