How to Fix DELL PowerEdge Server E1810 HDD 1 Fault error message
by Ramesh Natarajan on December 14, 2010 Tweet

Question: On my DELL PowerEdge server, the front LCD displays E1810 HDD 1 fault error message. How do I fix this issue? Answer: The message itself is self explanatory as it says HDD 1 fault indicating that the hard drive #1 failed. Following are my recommendations on what you can do to fix this.

Thyssenkrupp

Verify the Hard Drive Status

If the failed hard drive is part of RAID-1, none of the application running on the server wouldve impacted. View the status of that hard drive to make sure it says disk fault or something similar from the PERC controller. If you have installed DELL OMSA or Dellmgr, you can verify the status of the hard disk without rebooting the server. If you dont have OMSA or Dellmgr, you should restart the system to launch the PERC configuration utility. In this case, dont bother with the reboot, as hard drive replacement is just a plug and play.

Remove the faulty Hard Drive

If you have support contract with DELL, call them and provide your dell service tag, and request for a replacement disk. You should get it within couple of days.

Once you have the disk, just remove the faulty disk from the bay#1 (or whatever bay number it says on your LCD display). Now, the LCD message will change to E1812 HDD 1 removed.

Insert the new Hard Drive

Insert the new hard drive into the bay#1. If this disk is part of RAID-1, youll see both the disks that are part of the RAID-1 will start blinking. This indicates that the RAID-1 is syncing the data between the disks. Finally, the message E1810 HDD 1 fault will disappear from the front LCD panel. The LCD panel will now display the standard blue light with DELL PowerEdge message. Tweet

Check Dells downloads site, they have a utility that covers all disk firmware, download the utility and go to the readme file and see if your disk part number is listed: if listed, re-seat the drive, once rebuild finishes, update the firmware. PS identifing Dell part numbers is easy, simplly search the front label for a part number that starts with 2 letters, followed by 4 0r 5 strings of between 3 and 6 alpha numeric characters. it will look something like MY 0NETYW 12555 998 -05LK A00 First 2 letters are the country of manufacture, Dell part number is made up of the last 5 characters in the second string, in the above case NETYW: Leave a Comment Name E-mail Website
