Explanation
Since the RAID card does not support hot swapping, the technician needs to shut down the server and check the RAID controller's status to verify RAID health. S.M.A.R.T. is a feature of hard drives, not RAID cards. Replacing the failed drive while users are connected could cause data loss or corruption. Physically cleaning the HDDs and connectors is unlikely to solve the slow boot time and performance issues.
