I inserted a disk drive into my hot swap RAID cage, and when it spun up, my system hanged. What is going on?
Check to see if your RAID cage or hot swap chassis is on the 3ware compatibility list, which is posted on the 3ware web site. If a RAID cage or hot swap chassis is not properly designed, hot inserting a drive can cause a reset on the other drives, which can result in a system hang condition. Also, evenly with properly designed RAID cages and hot swap chassis, if there is insufficient power in the system, this could cause a drive reset which could cause the operating system to hang.
