If the tests fail, go to step 3.
Take the hard drive offline and wait until the hard-drive
indicator codes on the drive carrier signal that the drive may be
removed safely, then remove and reseat the drive carrier in the blade.
Restart the blade, enter the System Setup and confirm that

NOTE: Installing
a hard drive into another bay may break the mirror if the mirror state
is optimal.
Remove the hard drive and install it in the other drive
bay.
If the problem is resolved, reinstall the hard drive in
the original bay.
If the hard drive functions properly in the original bay, the
drive carrier could have intermittent problems. Replace the drive
carrier.
If the hard drive is the boot drive, ensure that the drive
is configured and connected properly.
Partition and logically format the hard drive.
If possible, restore the files to the drive. If the problem persists, see
