5. The failed drive's LED will begin to blink in the G-SPEED Studio XL enclosure, making
it easy to identify which drive needs to be replaced. Be certain to remove the
correct drive, as removing the wrong drive could cause data loss.
NOTE: It is possible for the failed drive to be completely offline. In this case, the drive's activity LED
will be entirely turned off, indicating the failed drive.
6. Remove the failed drive by pressing the release button and sliding the drive out of the enclosure.
7. Replace the failed drive with a new disk module and secure the module in place. Once the
drive has spun up, the G-SPEED Studio Software Utility will indicate that the array is rebuilding.
Rebuild time is approximately two hours per terabyte.
Once the rebuild is complete, G-SPEED Studio XL will be back to normal, protecting your valuable
data with optimal efficiency.
NOTE: Replacement and/or extra G-SPEED Studio XL disk modules are available for
purchase online at:
