# Scanning for new or removed ready drives

Note: This action is not supported on the integrated RAID controller.

Use this action to scan all SCSI channels for either of the following:

- Physical drives that have been added.
- Ready physical drives that have been removed.

After physically removing a ready drive from a server or enclosure, the tree still reports the drive as ready. The firmware (microcode) does not communicate with ready drives, therefore the firmware does not report the drive as removed. Use this action to remove the ready drive from the tree.

1. In the tree, click (controller).
2. Click (Scan for new or removed ready drives). The "Scan for new or removed ready drives on controller" window opens.

   The ServeRAID Manager scans all the SCSI channels on the selected controller. You can stop the scan before it is completed by clicking Cancel.

3. Click Done after you have reviewed the scan report.
