iMac 1,7, Mojave 10.14.6. 2TB SSD, 24GB RAM, 1 Mercury Elite Pro TB2 RAID box w 2 Toshiba 6 TB HDs mirrored as one.
The issue I see is that the AMBER light on the front of the RAID continues to "slowly" blink.
According to the installation manual, I was to:
1. Connect through Thunderbolt connection on back of iMac.
2. Use two identical HD's inside, if I mirror one to the other.
3. Shut down the computer.
4. Change the RAID SET button on back to RAID 1 (the mirroring setting)
5. Power up the iMac.
6. Immediately hold the SET button in for 3 seconds.
7. The amber light should stop blinking slowly.
BUT IT DO NOT!
I was instructed by OWC to go ahead and initialize the RAID in Disk Utility Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Only 1 RAID drive shows in the Finder afterwards.
But AMBER continues to constantly slowly blink. Is the amber light supposed to blink slowly? I thought that it is supposed to light up only when it is actively writing or communicating with the iMac?
