Re-RAIDing Media Drives from Scratch (4-Channel Model Servers)
This topic contains information on how to re-RAID your media drives in the event that two or
more media drives from the same array have failed.

Before you perform this procedure, you must take your system off air, as the media disk
replacement process can cause possible problems with video playout. Depending on the
amount of data, as well as the activity in the disk array, the task of replacing a drive can
take a considerable amount of time.
This procedure creates a new RAID50 drive group on the AirSpeed 5000 server.
Before you begin this procedure, you must have already removed the physical media drives from
the chassis and replaced them with new drives, as described in Steps 1-7 of the topic “Removing
and Replacing Media Drives (4-Channel Models)” on page 79.
To re-RAID Media Drives from scratch:
1. On the AirSpeed 5000 server, right click on Computer, and select Manage.
The Computer Management dialog box opens.
2. In the Storage folder, select Disk Management.
The Disk Management window opens.
3. Right-click on the (E:) partition in Disk 1, and select Delete Volume from the menu.
