For RAID 0
When the replacement drive is recognized, the status LED will flash red and the message "Set From Web I32
New Diskx ready" will be displayed in NAS Navigator2.
Select Drives - RAID - the RAID array in Settings and click Delete RAID Array.
Select the replacement hard drive by navigating to Drives - Drives and clicking Format Disk to format the new
drive. Configure RAID mode by selecting Drives - RAID after formatting the hard drive.
If a hard drive malfunctions in RAID 0, all data on the RAID array will be lost. All of the settings for the shared
folders (such as access restrictions) are erased after replacing a drive from a RAID 0 array. Create a shared folder
before use.
For JBOD
When the replacement hard drive is recognized, the status LED will flash red and the drive will be formatted
as an individual drive. If this drive is removed from the TeraStation, shared folder settings such as access
restrictions will be lost. Create a shared folder on the drive before use.
Drive Replacement (using a redundant RAID mode such as RAID 1, 5, or 6 with a hot
spare configured)
If your TeraStation's drives are in a redundant RAID mode, and you have a hot spare enabled, a malfunctioning drive
in the array is replaced by the spare disk and the RAID array is rebuilt automatically. The status LED will continue
to glow red for the failed drive even after the RAID array is rebuilt with the hot spare. This section describes the
replacement process for a hard drive while the TeraStation is still on.
1
The failed drive's status LED will be glowing red. Push its unlock button and swing the lock mechanism out.
2
Pull out the drive cartridge and remove it from the TeraStation.
3
Insert the new drive into the empty slot. Slide the drive in with the locking mechanism open. Swing the lock
back down until it clicks into place.
4
When the replacement drive is recognized, the status LED will flash red. The replacement hard drive is
automatically registered as a hot spare. To use the replacement disk as a normal drive rather than a hot spare,
navigate to Drives - RAID and click the RAID array, select the new drive, and click Set as a normal disk.
Replacing a Media Cartridge
Drives configured as media cartridges may be removed and moved to a different TeraStation for use. Before
unplugging the drive, dismount it in Settings or shut down the TeraStation.
