Replacing a defective hard disk drive in the RAID system

Hard disk drives can be replaced during operation in the removable drive bay in connection
with a configured RAID1 system or RAID5 system. This functionality is referred to as "Hot
Swap".
Note
If you have configured a non-RAID system with several hard disk drives, you need to turn off
the device before you replace a hard disk drive.
Damaging the drive
If you replace a drive while it is active, the drive and data are corrupted. The device can no
longer be operated without problems.
Replace the drive in the removable drive bay when the "HDD" status display of the device
is not lit.
Observe the ESD guideline (Page 95). Always replace the drive with a new drive of the same
type and capacity.
