T300 - Raid 1 Drive failure
I have a Power Edge T300 server with 2 WDABYS drives in it set to Raid 1. One of the drives has failed. Will the Bios tell me what slot has the failed drive in it? Also, what is the sequence to replace the drive? The machine will boot when I click on "Windows Server 2008 - Secondary Plex"
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you

You are running Windows RAID, so it is possible the drive is still "working" on the controller, but was forced offline by Windows, meaning you won't be able to tell in the BIOS which one failed. You would need to look at the drive ID, then make sure you pull the right one from the system. You'll then need to re-mirror the drives in Windows Disk Management once it is installed.

This is the screenshot of my server. I am not sure of the drive ID. Where can I find it?

The cable will have an ID label on it which should correlate to the ID listed in CTRL-C or OpenManage. It will not always match up to the "disk" number in Disk Management.
