How can I be notified immediately when a drive on my Windows server fails?

You can configure RAID to notify you immediately when a there is a problem with a drive on your Windows dedicated server. How you do this depends on which RAID driver your server has.

To Determine Your Server's RAID Driver

Connect to your server using RDC. For more information, see Connect via Remote Desktop (RDC) to your Windows server.
From the Start menu, select Control Panel.
Double-click Device Manager.

Your RAID driver displays as one of the following:

Highpoint displays as RocketRAID (172x/152x) SATA Controller.
IMSM (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) displays as Intel® Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller.

RAID automatically sends server notifications to our Dedicated Hosting support team. We recommend that you continue to use this configuration and simply add yourself to the notification list. Any other changes to your RAID configuration could result in a hard drive failure going undetected.
