Failed Disk Notification; Replacing A Disk - NETGEAR RNDU4000 Hardware Manual

Failed Disk Notification

If a disk fails in your ReadyNAS, you are notified by email. Email alerts must be set up for
notifications to be sent. In addition, FrontView provides information about the failed disk.
NETGEAR recommends replacing a failed disk with the same disk model. Use FrontView to
determine the disk vendor and model used in your unit.
For information about setting up email alerts and using FrontView for the ReadyNAS Ultra
series, see the appropriate software manual for your unit. Manuals are available at
http://www.readynas.com/documentation.
WARNING!
No matter how many hard drives are installed in your unit, ensure
that all drive trays remain in the drive bays to maintain adequate
airflow.

Replacing a Disk

In the case of a failed disk, the unit provides email alerts and status messages about the
need to replace a disk. ReadyNAS supports hot-swap bays, so you do not need to power
down your unit when replacing a disk.
If you are replacing a disk with a previously formatted disk, see the precautions in
Formatted Disks on page 31.
