R410 - LCD Error - how to remove?

Hi all :)

I've got an R410 server, which runs Win2008 SP1 (OEM install). (x3 HDD in Raid5)
It also runs Exch2007 , and just happens to have an issue which i gotta fix at some point! :D

Problem i have is the LCD display is in 'Orange', and wont go back to Blue, reason for the Orange light is:

Couple of months ago, OMSA reported a 'potential' disk fault (0.0.2), so purchased x2 identical drives ready to do a swap.
On the day i am about to do the swap, it all goes wrong!!!!!
The 1st drive (0.0.0) goes offline stating its a dead drive!! (Gulp!!), which panicked me given its an Exchange server now showing 1 working disc and 1 potential faulty disk and now a dead disc!!!!

In panic, i put the new drive in the spare empty slot (0.0.3), but the system picks it up and states it is a "Foreign Disk" and cant do anything with it ?!!!!!!!
Arrghhh! took the drive out as figured i cant turn it into a hot swap!


Anyway, Out comes the dead disk (0.0.0), so installed new drive, but the system wont pick up the disc, so RAID Rebuild wont work ! :(
Anyway, after 20 minutes of panic, the Rebuild on disk 0.0.0 starts automatically, and then all is good....  I then proceed to swap out disk 0.0.2 and the rebuild works and all is good.......  So panic over for now!

However, since that, the LCD display is now in orange with the message:  Harddrive 3 error: E1812 Drive 3 removed.
How do i clear it so it goes back to blue ??????
I havent rebooted the server since, but would'nt mind fitting the spare new HDD (yes, bought another identical drive) in the server and making it a hot spare, just dont know how ?
Any ideas please ?!

cheers
