Setting a Disk Drive to ‘Failed’
Before you can remove a disk drive, you should set it to a failed state to protect your data.

You can set a disk drive to a failed state if:
●
The disk drive is not part of a logical drive,
or
●
The disk drive is part of a redundant, healthy logical drive
You can’t set a disk drive to a failed state if doing so will take a logical drive offline.
To set a disk drive to a failed state:
1
In the Physical Devices View, click the disk drive.
2
In the menu bar, select
Actions
, then click
Set drive state to failed
.
3
Click
Yes
