Replacing A Single Hard Drive - SonicWALL CDP 6080 Getting Started Manual

Replacing a Single Hard Drive

The 2 TB replacement hard drive can be inserted into any drive
slot on your SonicWALL CDP 6080 appliance. You can insert
the drive while the SonicWALL CDP appliance is powered on.
The front bezel on the SonicWALL CDP appliance covers the
drive slots. The bezel can be unlocked with the front bezel
security key supplied with the appliance.
The Web management interface provides a graphical view of
the hard drive array on the SonicWALL CDP appliance. The
best practice is to view the array on the System > RAID page
during the replacement process.

expose the hard drive array.
2. In the Web management interface, navigate to the
System > RAID page.
