Note: Hard disk drives in an array can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive. 4. From the list of available drives, select the drives that you want to include in the array and press Enter. 5. From the list of RAID levels available, select the one you want to use. 6. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the configuration; then, select Done to exit. 7. Restart the server.

Light Path Diagnostics* Light path diagnostics is a system of LEDs on the system board of the expansion unit. When an error occurs, these LEDs can be lit to help identify the source of the error. To view the light path LEDs, remove the blade server and expansion unit from the SBCE unit; then, press and hold the light path diagnostics switch for a maximum of 25 seconds. The light path diagnostics LED will be lit to indicate that there is enough power present to light the error LEDs, and the LED for the failing component also will be lit.
