Hard Drive Replacement Examples - Buffalo TeraStation TS3400D User Manual

1
Error LED
Glows red if a drive has failed.
2
Status LEDs
The failed drive's status LED will be glowing a steady red. A drive with a red status LED is ready to hot-swap.
Notes:
• Do not unplug a drive whose status LED is green instead of red. Dismount it first or shut down the TeraStation
before swapping a working drive. If you remove the drive without properly dismounting it, data may be lost
or the TeraStation may malfunction.
• Use a Buffalo OP-HDS series drive of the same size or larger (the same size if using RMM) as the replacement
drive. If a larger drive is used, the extra space will not be usable in a RAID array.
• To avoid damaging the TeraStation with static electricity, ground yourself by touching something made of
metal before handling any sensitive electronic parts.
• After a drive is replaced, it will take about 30 minutes before normal file reading and writing are restored.
Settings may not be accessible during this period.
• Do not change the order of the hard drives in the TeraStation. For example, pulling out drive 1 and replacing
it with drive 2 may cause data to be corrupted or lost.
• If the LCD display does not change after a new drive is installed, click Rediscover Disk in Settings.
