To assign a drive as a hot spare, follow these steps: 1 Highlight the drive you want to use in the left pane. 2 Select Action > Make Hotspare. The selected hot spare is reassigned as a normal hard drive accessible by the operating system. Refer to Assigning Hot Spares on page 3-47 for additional information. * Remember, RAID 0/5 is not available on the 2400A. If a 2400A has a RAID 0/1, no hot spare is available. 2-30
