Note:
The drive light turns a solid red, meaning you need to add a drive or replace the current
drive with a larger drive. It may stay red for up to 15 minutes after you replace the drive.
5. With one hand, hold the drive you plan to add so that its connectors are positioned at the device
and toward the left. Refer to the image below.
6. With your other hand, use your thumb to depress and hold open the drive lock to an empty drive
bay.
7. Slide the drive into the drive bay, release the drive lock and push the drive into place until you
feel it connect.
8. The drive lock will snap behind the drive, securing it into place.
9. Add or replace additional drives in the same manner, following steps 3 through 8.
10. When finished, replace the bezel right side up, so that you will be able to see the indicator lights
whenever your Drobo device is turned on.
